Hi guys,

A really quick question...

I am planning on developing a new skin for xbmc, that has nothing more than the following:

A basic homepage, consisting of a video (loaded on start up), the time, the rss ticker and the weather.

What I want to do is have the video playing and taking up 3/4 of the screen, and the other 1/4 is used to display the time/rss feed and weather.

What I need to ask, as I have searched for a few hours, is it possible to play the video at say 3/4 of the screen area, and still use the other areas to display content??

Basically playing a video inside the screen, but not full screen if that makes sense?

I haven't seen it done or mentioned, hence I ask!

Cheers

Code:
<control type="videowindow" id="1">

    <description>Video Preview</description>

    <posx>0</posx>

    <posy>0</posy>

    <width>960</width>

    <height>540</height>

</control>

That's make it cover 3/4 of the screen from the top left.

and to make the trailer run in the preview window (instead of fullscreen):
PlayMedia(foo,1)

mikey were you able to do it ?
