I know how to activate the video screen through Bob's UI, but I don't know the process of how to make a movie show on it.


Can someone please explain this process or direct me to where a walkthrough is posted for Bob's UI video screen use?

all the video window in the UI does is create a whole in the game window and displays what ever is behind the client.. so you position the video at the same size as the window, right were the window is.. and it will show through...

did you try windowed mode?

run both the video player and game as admin?

and i dont know if windows 7 uses the same color code for the hole to apear... thats all it is.. a certain color code that creates a hole.

apparently the UI tells you how to get it to work.. i just googled..

I followed the instructions to the T and tried 3 different media players. Still nothing worked.

The bad news is, that when Microsoft screwed with the OS from Vista and Win7, they broke
the viewing of media players in an overlay.

So, right now, there is no way to do this..

If you've got a jumbo monitor, play the game in Windows mode, and then have your
media player, playing beside the game..

Ok thanks everyone. I guess Window's 7 = FAIL for the video player.

Wow that's retarded. I was excited to see the UI had this feature but to find out it's XP only pisses me off as a vista user

An update here-

I just got it to work on vista with Core Media Player. It's not listed in the "supported" ones, but it works anyway in screen 1.
