Changing settings for theater screen overlays

DESCRIPTION:

Describes how to change the settings for the playback bar and program information overlays that appear when starting video playback.

ARTICLE:

You can change the settings for the theater (playback) screen in the playback interface by editing the Settings file.

Note: These instructions change settings for the machine on which they are performed only. If you are running SnapStream software in a client/server environment, these changes should be made on the client machine, not the server.
  1. Shut down the software

  2. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SnapStream\Beyond TV

  3. Open the file Settings.xml in a text or XML editor

  4. Locate the following text:

    TransparentGuideTimeout30
    This value defines the timeout for the title/program guide box in seconds. To disable, set this value to -1.

    TheaterHUDTimeout5
    This value defines the timeout for the playback bar in seconds (if it is less than the above setting, it defines both). The playback bar overlay can effectively be disabled by setting this option to 0.

  5. Once you've edited these settings to your satisfaction, save Settings.xml and restart the software.
