Full Version: Opening a video via path shows XBMC main menu while video is playing

I have a webpage with movie listings, and if you tap one, it will play.

eg. json data
Code:
{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"Player.Open\",\"params\":{\"item\":{\"file\": \"C:/Users/XXXXX/Videos/Movies/Up.m4v\"}},\"id\":1}

The problem is that sometimes when it opens the video, it shows the XBMC menu bar (pictures, videos, music, system) in the middle of the screen over the video and I have to hit the back button to make it go away. Before this never happened but for some reason now when some of the videos open, it has the XBMC menu showing. I am wondering if I have to do a work around, where I send json data to open it, then json data to make it go back to hide the menu, but then I would have to query to see if the menu is showing and I am not sure if I can do that...

Before this started happening, it would open the video, show the info for a few seconds and then disappear.
