It hides the widgets etc.@shedrock, the Now Playing shouldn't show if the widgets are showing, and you don't need to go to the submenu to see a preview. There must be something weird going on with what I uploaded to Github. In my development system using Windows it is working fine.

Anyway, I look forward to your next update.@shedrock , could you please test with the latest from GitHub, Leia branch? I have coded the Now Playing also for the vertical menu, and I have tested the code under Windows, Android and LibreELEC. These following screenshots are from LE (which I am running in a Virtual Machine under Windows 10):
Thanks,

I am providing pics to show what's happening on my end. All the pics shown were taken while the same movie is playing. The widgets are in the forefront. Also, the only time I can see the video in the small box is when I am on a main menu item that has no widgets.

This is something that I need to look further into, to see if I can find an easy way to accomplish it without touching the widget code, which is very complex as it is.Yes, I would prefer that.

Thanks.I have tried the other options, although not in detail. I just wanted the minimize screen of the video like it functions in Aeon MQ7 (Latt's mod). I am not too picky.

Now the widgets will not show if the Now Playing is visible, if you enable the new option "Hide Shelves when Now Playing is Visible". The new setting is here:(2020-12-03, 20:39)bsoriano Wrote: I understand you would prefer that, if Now Playing is enabled, to have the widgets hide automatically (until you stop the media from playing, I guess?).

Please excuse the background audio. That is the Aeon MQ7 skin. Also, I noticed that you don't see the description of an TV episode when it's minimized.@shedrock , thanks for the feedback. I am not sure how much of that I can accomplish, so no promises. I will take a look at adding some lines of the plot when having a video preview.

Much appreciated.
(2020-12-03, 22:34)shedrock Wrote:@shedrock , thanks! I have changed the layout of the Now Playing to include the plot when there is a video preview. Please try the latest from GitHub. I will see if I can manage to have, only for the horizontal menu, a larger video preview after a few seconds, but not taking over the whole screen; just a lot of the right side of it. Hopefully it will turn out all right. Thanks.(2020-12-03, 22:31)bsoriano Wrote: @shedrock , thanks for the feedback. I am not sure how much of that I can accomplish, so no promises.

It makes sense to have info other than the genre on top of the plot; I will work on that. I will think also on how to make sure the fanart stays put even though the widgets are hidden. I think it's doable. I am making progress also on the video preview taking over the right side of the screen after a few seconds. Hopefully I will finish it tomorrow.
