Mix
Level of transparent color. (0-255) 0=invisible.
xColor
Palette color in the BMP to make transparent. (0-255)
-1 for all pixels equally transparent according to mix
Remarks
The position (0,0) is located in the upper left corner of the video display.
There is no certain way to predict the color represented by the xColor argument. It
is determined by the method that the bitmap palette was generated. If you cannot
view the palette of the file with your graphics editor, the only way to see which
xColor value effects which color is through trial and error.
When Mix is zero, the transparent color is completely transparent. When it is 255,
the transparent color is not transparent at all. When it is a number in between, the
transparency level is also somewhere in between. Use the command
osdSetColorMixes for more advanced control over the transparency.
This command will only load the BMP, but not actually display it. To display it,
use osdShow after osdLoadBMP.
In order for the BMP to display properly, there must be an MPEG file underneath.
It need not be playing, however.
This command will also load VCC proprietary binary format BIN files.
osdShow
The osdShow command will display a previously loaded on-screen BMP.
