Cover Art flashes on screen before/after movie or Particle
« on: June 10, 2014, 02:34:28 pm »

When starting movies, sometimes the cover art flashes on the screen before the movie and other times it doesn't. When playing movie Particles in a playlist, the cover art flashes between Particles. Sometimes a Particle's cover art flashes after the Particle is played. By flashes I mean it only shows it for a split second.

Is there a way to turn off cover art from showing when loading video?

When loading takes a certain time, it'll start showing the Display View with a loading background, which includes the cover art of the current video file.
However, it cannot really know beforehand how long it'll take for the file to finish opening, which means its certainly possible that it only shows for a brief flash until the file starts playing.

As such, its more of a feature than a bug.

At the end of the movie, it shouldn't really happen, as its supposed to switch back to the the navigation instead.
Maybe I get lucky and can reproduce this, but it sounds like a odd timing thing, its not like we intentionally do that.
