Full Version: Changing OSD menu auto-hide time
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have the latest XBMC v13 with Aeon MQ and I was wondering if there is a way to change the time after which the OSD menu (video seekbar+controls) disappears?
When I move the mouse during playback the OSD menu is shown for 8 seconds and then fades out. IMHO, 8 seconds is unnecessary. With other players I am used to 1 or 2 seconds.
I spent hours googling and searching and can't find a way to change it.
Can anyone help?
It's 3 seconds after the mouse becomes inactive, which itself takes 3-5 seconds.

And no, this is not configurable.

After I stop moving the mouse it takes 8 seconds exactly for the menu to hide.
Are you saying that none of those 2 times are user customizable?
Would it make sense to make it a feature request for future versions?
I'm saying it takes a certain period of time until the mouse pointer vanishes, and then 3 seconds after that the OSD will hide.

Neither of these are customisable.

I doubt you'll get all that many developers jumping at the chance to add customisation here, so set your expectations accordingly Smile
