Changes:
- Added PIP video overlay so you can continue to watch video while browsing forums. Pausing video will hide the overlay.
- Added setting 'Hide Video Overlay'
On my REPO.
This adds a video overlay to the main windows when video is playing. If video is not playing, the windows are the same as before. As stated above, pausing a video will hide the overlay.
This allows watching video while browsing forums, which while useful on it's own, will be helpful in the future as I explore new post notify options (for example options to jump to the new post while you are watching a video, or pause video and ask to jump to new post while watching a video, etc.
Also, I can confirm that shutting down XBMC while Forum Browser is running no longer hangs XBMC on the Frodo final release. Hooray!
Pip video is wicked, a fantastic addition I'm really impressed with that, nice one. I like the larger window on forums, then the reduced size shifted down and right when viewing posts & threads, nice. When viewing a video and browsing forums, if you expose the hidden right menu to see the picture links the overlay shifts left, very smooth mate, I like the fact that if your playing a video then you chose a video link from within forum browser it stops the original video and starts to play the new one. What might be nice is that it starts the original video back up once you've watched the new video, maybe not possible.
When I add a forum as a favourite I get a grey confirmation window, can this be green? also if I re add the same forum as a favourite it would be nice to say "already a favourite"
That I think for me is one of the best updates so far, well done big pat on the back
