a dissolve or opacity change when new layer plays #7

Hey, Love your project. It's working beautifully for me. Everything works great but would there be a way to make the videos appear to dissolve when the latest video is started. It would be a cool transition for the project I'm currently working on. Thanks.

Thank you very much and sorry for the late reply. The omxplayer wrapper has a function called set_alpha. So I think what could work is setting the alpha of the new video to 255 (or 0 depending on the implementation) put the new video on a layer higher than the currently playing one (using set_layer) and then setting the alpha with a for loop and a specific delay slowly to 255.

Thanks. do you know what that coding would look like? I'm working on a space throttle that when you slide the throttle forward trigger IR sensors that play videos of flying thru outer space at faster speeds. Currently the videos look as they just cut to each other and it would look more realistic if they somehow faded or dissolved into each other.
