Operate in parallel to Kodi? #112

Open DaCHack opened 1 year ago

DaCHack commented 1 year ago

Is it possible to run UxPlay in parallel to KODI in a fullscreen mode without window manager? KODI (at least on distris such as LibreELEC) is working directly on the framebuffer. How could I configure both tools so that running them in parallel would be possible?

Example of expected behavior: Usually, display shows KODI. When a connection comes in, UxPlay shows content fullscreen (eg. simply overlaying KODI). When the connection to UxPlay drops, KODI is visible fullscreen again.

I think without a window manager you will only see the current window as full screen (?). I assume this is on RPi OS "Lite" or something equivalent, with framebuffer video?. EDIT: I see it is actually LibreELEC with framebuffer

presumably you are using RPi4 with -vs kmssink option. There may be kmssink options you can use (-vs "kmssink ") See the gstreamer doc:
