Title says it all: is it at all possible to have the Scanning for New Content bar showing while watching a full-screen video?

I like to see what it does or does not find, but since my updates take up to 4 freaking minutes, I prefer to to have to wait so long to watch my shows.

thanks.

most people prefer not to be disturbed by the scanning dialog when watching a movie, therefore it's hidden on that screen.

you'll have to mod the skin yourself if you want it to be visible in the video window.

remove this bit of code in DialogVideoScan.xml:

Thank you!

This file no long exists with T! v 5.0.8 (or whatever the latest one it).

Where would it go now?

both DialogVideoScan.xml and DialogMusicScan.xml are no longer used in XBMC.
they have been replaced by DialogExtendedProgressBar.xml.

the piece of code you'll have to remove is still the same though

Cool beans. Thanks, Ronie!
