Stupid question - ref on screen menu for movie playback

Garzie · June 24, 2022 at 8:42 PM

this may be a stupid question - but maybe some kind person here can set me straight

i have recently installed a kodi 19 build onto my little x96 air box that running the latest stable libreelec - and the same build on the pc based media centre in the lounge running latest LE generic - i am happy with the build in all other respects - but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video menu up when in video playback/video paused

the menu i'm looking for is the one that allows you to adjust the zoom amount, volume amplification, etc while in a video playback mode

in all the other builds and skins it defaults to that menu when you pause playback i think

i have looked in skin settings and player settings in system - but cants seem to find where to turn that feature on

what am i missing ??

Press pause and the OSD appears. There should be a cog icon on the right side, which brings up video settings. Is that what you mean?

@ Jo - thanks - i looked there and didnt see a button that brings up teh OSD i need

@ chewitt - thanks again - but when i press pause i get the video progress bar - but not the menu of symbols underneath that i am used to seeing - ie no cog icon

i want to get this menu

but i just get a progress bar like this

hope that's clearer

perhaps the feature has been turned off in the build i am using - but if so where would i look to switch it back on ?

Garzie, when I press the Enter key on my keyboard or the OK key on my remote I get a menu similar to your first *.png.

Same, using Estuary. So it's a skin thing.

Garzie · June 26, 2022 at 11:23 AM

thanks Guys - will check what skin the build is using and report back

Garzie · June 30, 2022 at 11:10 AM

OK i checked - its using Aeon Nox: SilVIO skin

i know you guys are not responsible for skin configurations and features - but can anyone point me in the direction i might go to restore the kind of menu i am used to ?

much appreciated as always

I'd asking the skin support thread in the Kodi forum. That normally reaches the author or current maintainer. I stopped using other skins ages ago as Estuary is nice/simple/reliable.

Yep - done that - but all quiet so far - thanks Chewitt
