Video Behind Menus

I've recently upgraded to the current version of Sage (6.4.something) and SageMC (can't recall version number). In Sage's regular UI, and in the older version of SageMC, I could have the video appear behind menus. Now the video only appears in a little preview box in the corner of the screen. Is there any way to have the video appear, full screen, behind menus?

TIA

- Jeff

Select Detailed Setup from the Settings screen. Then select Multimedia and on the right side select "Video Menu Options". Under Video Menu Style, select Background instead of Window.

I havn't tested this as my custom menu layout does not have a preview window showing... so another thing to be aware of, is if you are using a custom menu layout, ensure the layout has the preview enabled (again, I am not sure this option works as I have not tried it myself).

Good luck.

That's the setting I have now, but I'm getting a preview window. I'm not sure what changed on the upgrade.

Then it's likely because of the menu customization add in a recent version of SageMC. Go into the menu customization panel (ESC or right click on the main menu and select "Customize Screen Layout") and scoll down to Preview Panel. Press ENTER and then follow the on screen directions to scale and locate the panel to the full size of the screen.

Again, I have not tried this myself as I don't have this enabled.

Good luck.

Oh, well. Tried to expand the preview box to the whole screen, but it didn't really work.

Anyone else have any ideas?

No I don't think so. I think this behavior was changed in one of the SageMC versions because it really didn't work well with it.
