Show OSD - custom display

Post by reverson1 »

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place or not, but I have a question about ShowOSD.

I'm able to show the payload of an event just fine, however, I 'd like to be able to use multiple colors or at the very least be to align the text in the osd.

Example:

Code: Select all

Currently:
Line 1
Line 23333

I'd like to be able to:
  Line 1
Line 23333
Is any of this possible?

Thanks
Richard

You could always do it the old fashioned way and use spaces for indenting the second line.. but other than that, no, the ShowOSD is very simple and only displays one piece of text at a time. (which can have linebreaks in it though.)

Your best bet it just to sit and wait on it, I'm currently working on an improved OSD which will be much more versatile than ShowOSD is.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll wait for the update.

@Brett - Same one! :)
I wrote another netflix plugin for meedio and I wanted to have some sort of osd that would work over fullscreen video.

One of these days, I'll move over to MeediOS....
