Is there a way to have an image overlay during video playback? Besides the one used for the player controls?
I'd like to create a scanlines or CRT-mask overlay that displays on top of video while it is playing for older TV shows.
Thanks in advance.

You can add the code to VideoFullScreen.xml. So in your case you could have an image display if the video resolution is less than 720.

Well, I gave up trying to add my modified Confluence skin to the skin list by editing xml files. I just zipped the "skin.confluence2" folder I had and installed it from zip.
I will probably play around with different overlay files but I think I will end up returning to the "scanlines.png" you made.
Thanks again!

You'll need to rename the skin in the addon.xml as well. If I had the Python skills it would make a nice addon.

I added a similar feature to the upcoming PseudoTV Live v.0.9.x
Each channel can have its own overlay. Anyone that knows of a good collection of images, please point me in the direction. THX

Is there any way to make it so that this only appears on fullscreen videos and does not display above the regular skin's interface?
