I have an issue with flackering background video when navigating in the menu and having Show_VideoBackground enabled.
Setup
RaspberryPi 4B with XBian and Kodi Matrix
Amber Skin in the versions 3.4.11 and 3.4.32
Steps to reproduce error
Use similar setup as described above
Activate Show_VideoBackground in skin settings
navigate either to home and see a flickering video playback (error exists in 3.4.11 and persists in 3.4.32)
navigate in movies selection and see a black window/flickering video playback (error did not exist in 3.4.11)
Solution approach
I tracked down one error cause of the flickering introduced from version 3.4.11 to version 3.4.32 by try and error, replacing different files and diffing
I identified the commit 23fc52cb0bd6327d0be67a3aae38d4181e8b1669 and the file _1080i\IncludesBackgrounds.xml as
one problem cause.
If you do a diff on this commit you get two problems introduced:
I identified this one location as error cause, but there may be more sources for the flickering in the movie selection introduced in between 3.4.11 and 3.4.32. Please track them down as well
The flickering in the main menu/home screen was already introduced until 3.4.11 and is still persisting. I hope you can track down this error as well with my hints from above.
