Video Frame position

Windows media player has a memory for minimized screen size. What I have been doing after talking with bob years ago about this problem is this:

1: set time between sequences to about 30 seconds.
2: By setting this pause I am able to shrink the media player popup window to as small as possible and move it to a corner in between songs. (Only have to do it one time, not for every song).
3) I then reset the time between sequences back to 0:
4) I made a screen saver that says Merry Christmas with my display name on it.

Now in between songs I still get a flash that shows my custom screen background, and a very small box in a corner, but at least it is not as bad as a large box in the center of the screen.

If I remember correctly this fix must be applied every time you restart your computer. I don't shut mine off and keep the LOR control panel running throughout the season. so I cant remember exactly what the deal was. I do this procedure each year though.

I have been using an Nvidia card for a few years now to output my video. The nvidia outpus full screen video to the s-video jack automatically from media player so you bypass the lor software . It has worked well even before LOR supported video. You may look for another video card and try this option.

Added video to my display this year and have noticed this very thing as well. Has there been in progress in a good solution since last year?
