Just at a glance at your code, looks like you are drawing an opaque background for the image canvas. Don't draw a background. Then anything you draw should be an overlay.

back in a few. I could use the $75. 🙂

Re: (INSTANT $75 today for help) roImageCanvas & roSlideShow

we tried to make the image go black at first... i think that is our feeble attempt...

if you add the ability to parse the title & artist of a shoutcast stream in each one, I'll make it an even $100...

Thank you so much, knowing you are fixing it is dramatically reducing our stress level over here...

looks like you replaced all the code in mediarsstoolkit with your own. did you make any other changes anywhere else in the app? if so, can you post them or pm them? tried running your code as is after replacing all the duplicate functions in mediarsstoolkit but it crashes at

085:                                            this[onselect_callback[msg.GetIndex()+2]]()


if I click on user favories poster item.

For what it's worth.. using the stock deviantart example, while crude, adding the following code to the isPlaybackPosition() block of the wait loop in DisplaySlideShow() in mediarsstoolkit.brs, may serve as a decent proof of concept... (i.e., to answer the original question, yes you can do an overlay on a slideshow)

else if msg.isPlaybackPosition() then
onscreenphoto = msg.GetIndex()
print "slideshow display: " + Stri(msg.GetIndex())

canvas = CreateObject( "roImageCanvas" )
bgRect = {
Color: "#66000000",
TargetRect: { x: 250, y: 250, w: 250, h: 250 }
}
text = {
Text: "Hello World: " + msg.GetIndex().ToStr(),
TargetRect: bgRect.TargetRect
}
canvas.SetLayer( 0, [ bgRect, text ] )
canvas.Show()
Sleep( 2000 )
canvas.Close()
else if msg.isRemoteKeyPressed() then

Re: (INSTANT $75 today for help) roImageCanvas & roSlideShow

thank you so much for chiming in Endless... works good but wont cycle the slideshow while it is active... would like to keep an active graphic and display the artist & title of a shoutcast stream.

Again, it was just meant as a proof of concept, to show that you can do a custom overlay. You'd definitely need to do some additional legwork to get it to work the way you want it to. Sounds like jbrave may be on his way to getting you something that'll work...

Do you already have the artist & title information data from the stream? I thought I had read somewhere that you already had that worked out. If not, are you streaming through shoutcast.com, or are you running your own shoutcast sever?
