Have you tried the "backspace" action to close the OSD / info overlay?
Via the keyboard you can hit the 'i' key and it will toggle the playback info on screen (for example the movie name and playback position etc).
Is there a way via the JSONv6 API to do the same thing?
Sending a GUI.ActivateWindow with the param 'videoosd' displays the overlay, but there is no way to remotely cancel it. Which results in any further commands being queued until you use the keyboard/mouse directly on the XBMC machine.
Anyone managed to get this working?
Thanks,

No, it seems that all commands are blocked until a local user (via keyboard or mouse) closes the info overlay. Feels like a bug to me
Edit: Turns out you can do an "Input.ShowOSD", this toggles the display and doesn't lock up.
Thanks,
Matt.
