    Switch off OSD in WMP 11.0???????
    « on: November 15, 2008, 06:02:09 AM »
    When watching a movie all of a sudden a green bunch with letters and figures showed in the eft upper corner of the WMP screen??????? Audio Track stuff...cant remmember I did something to evoke that one. So somebody told me to switch off the OSD, but where the heck do I find that option?

    Have Athlon 64, 4.2Ghz, 2gigs RAM, XP+SP3 and all the other automatic updates, IE70(up til today NO problems with it), AVG antivirus/antispyware, Sygate firewall, Spybot, Superantispyware...

      I dont know how to turn off OSD but I can suggest an alternative solution.
      Download VLC player to watch those movies. It is a very good free media player. After you use it for a while you will probably like it a lot better tham WMP.

      Sorry about the lag in response time Peter...
      It's possible no one understood the issue.
      Can you post a screenshot ? ?

        difficult to make a screenshot :o tried several times, but no pic...but I might be able to describe it better: its a bunch of green letters and figures tellin me the specifics of the audio track right in the left topcorner of my moviescreen...somebodt called it the OSD was active. It says:(in green colours)

        Audio Track
        Input description:32000hz, stereo 98kbps mp3(libmad)
        Current input bitrate:96kbps

        and I really cant find ANY reason why this info all of a sudden showed itself in my moviescreen. I t doesnt do it with VLC etc...hahahahahaha ;D but thats not the point here...

        Check under Tools/Plugins and see what's listed there...
        I see no OSD option anywhere in Tools here.
        Course i use WMP about as often as i use a crowbar...

        It may also be the way the movie was created...did you consider this ?
