Hi, something wrong happened in windows 64 nightlies with kodi player between...

Correct 29/03
KodiSetup-20180328-ad9770fc-master-x64


...and...

Bug 30/03 and further versions...
KodiSetup-20180329-1e4ae5e4-master-x64


From 30/03 onwards when the music player starts in the background there is a kind of 'blinking' that even affects the animations as you can see, it happens in other skins also... Until 29/03 everything worked completely fine... Thanks for any help

not sure what code you're using to start music playback?
i've tried it by mapping the PlayMedia() command to a key, but i don't spot any visual issues.

any clues in the Debug Log?

I’m using this method to play a theme.mp3 file when browsing movies and tvshows

heh.. not sure what you're doing there, seems both complicated and error prone to me...

it leads to an infinite start/stop loop on my end when a tv show does not have a theme.mp3 file.
but it can't reproduce the visual glitch you are seeing :-)

Thanks for having a look at my code and spotting that bug... All my movies and tvshows have a theme.mp3 so I wasn't aware of what happened otherwise...

My code is already fixed, but the 'blinking' remains... my videos are from Estuary Mod V2; in official Estuary is less evident, but even there is pretty obvious that when the player starts in the background there is a kind of 'blinking' in the blue strip over the focused item; that only happens in 30/03 nightly onwards...

Looks 'like' the window dialog is causing unfocus of list syndrome.
So the blue highlight is set to disappear if not the focused object.

Thanks for reporting! I already imagined that someone else had to be suffering the same issue in other situations, good to know I'm not the only one...

But it's not an issue. Emby refreshes the container listing using builtins.

Is there any news on this? I don't mean to bug anyone, it's only that I keep trying every nightly and in the end I have to revert back to 29/03 nightly. Thanks.

***Solved*** This issue was very likely related to this change...

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/13699

...to get back the old behavior you have to add an onload with a condition at the beginning of DialogBusy.xml, just after the <window> line, for instance in my case I had to add...

xml:
<window>
<onload condition="String.Contains(Player.Filenameandpath,theme.mp3)">Dialog.Close(all,true)</onload>

...to prevent DialogBusy.xml from running when I didn't want to (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=330832)
