Post subject:  Can i disable the OSD during playback?
I've noticed that XVMC is very stable when used with xine. I've also noticed that xine never attempts to display an OSD when XVMC is enabled. I am wondering if XVMC with mythtv would be more stable if the OSD were disabled during playback. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Finally found an answer -- posting here in case anyone else wants to do this. I am doing this to see if it will improve stability when using XVMC. So far, it seems to solve the problem, but I need to try it some more before I would say it definely solves the XVMC/OSD stability problem when playing back high resolution recordings (720p/1080i). In any event, under R5A30.2 the answer is to edit the file /usr/share/mythtv/themes/<your OSD theme name>/osd.xml
and delete the defintion for the "status" container, ie:

Code:
  <container name="status" priority="10" fademovement="0,-6">
    <image name="background">
      <filename>osd-small.png</filename>
      <position>0,20</position>
    </image>
    <textarea name="status">
      <area>410,30,200,27</area>
      <font>infofont</font>
    </textarea>
    <slider name="statusslider" type="fill">
      <area>410,80,200,20</area>
      <filename>fill-blue.png</filename>
    </slider>
    <textarea name="slidertext">
      <area>410,55,200,45</area>
      <font>infofont</font>
      <multiline>yes</multiline>
    </textarea>
  </container>
