   canvas = CreateObject("roImageCanvas")
   'port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
   canvas.SetMessagePort(port)
   'Set opaque background

    screen.SetContent(episode)
    screen.SetMessagePort(port)
    screen.Show()

    canvas.Show() 
   
   
    while true
       msg = wait(0, port)
         index = msg.GetIndex()
       if type(msg) = "roVideoScreenEvent" then
           print "showVideoScreen | Playback position = "; msg.isPlaybackPosition() " | index = "; msg.GetIndex()
           if msg.isScreenClosed()
               print "Screen closed"
               exit while
            else if msg.isStatusMessage()
                  print "status message: "; msg.GetMessage()
            else if msg.isPlaybackPosition()
                  print "playback position: "; msg.GetIndex()
            
					
            else if msg.isStreamSegmentInfo()
                  print "playback info"
                  print msg.GetMessage()
                  exit while

The imagecanvas is layered. If you want something on top generally you would put it at a higher layer. Layer 0 is generally for background, < 0 is to hide layers and >0 for items that ride over everything else. So instead of putting everything in layer 0 define what goes where and then setlayer accordingly

You can't use roImageCanvas with roVideoScreen. You need to use it with roVideoPlayer, and you'll need to implement all of the video controls yourself. Unfortunately, there is no way to customize the video player without implementing all functionality in code.

Thanks TheEndless did not pick up that he was using rovideoscreen
