On-screen display time

[mistress]

I would like to shorten the time the timeline (when I press play, pause, etc.) lingers on the screen. Nothing in the WMC registry section jumped out at me.

Anyone have a solution?

Thank you.

I would like to shorten the time the timeline (when I press play, pause, etc.) lingers on the screen. Nothing in the WMC registry section jumped out at me.

Looking at my notes, the following timeouts would seem to be supported in the registry; one of these may be what you are looking for:

Code: Select all

Notification Before A Recording Starts -
When you are watching TV a notification appears before the channel is changed to start a new recording. Enter the number of milliseconds to show this notification before Media Center changes the channel to begin the recording. (1 second = 1000 milliseconds)
Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoConstants
Registry value - RecorderStartWarningTimeout
Registry value data type - REG_DWORD

More Info Panel Timeout -
Enter the number of milliseconds to show the More Info panel while watching TV or DVD. (1 second = 1000 milliseconds)
Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoConstants
Registry value - InfoBarTimeout
Registry value data type - REG_DWORD

Seek Bar Timeout -
Enter the number of milliseconds to show the paused seek bar while watching TV or DVD. (1 second = 1000 milliseconds)
Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoConstants
Registry value - SeekBarTimeout
Registry value data type - REG_DWORD

Seek Bar Rewind and Fast Forward Timeout -
While watching TV or DVD pressing REW/FWD displays the seek bar. Enter the number of milliseconds to show the seek bar when transitioning from REW or FWD to normal playback while watching TV or DVD. (1 second = 1000 milliseconds)
Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoConstants
Registry value - SeekBarBriefTimeout
Registry value data type - REG_DWORD

Seek Bar Slow Motion Timeout -
Enter the number of milliseconds to show the seek bar when video is in slow motion playback while watching TV or DVD. (1 second = 1000 milliseconds)
Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoConstants
Registry value - SeekBarSloMoTimeout
Registry value data type - REG_DWORD
