Layout background image / Question about garlic-player HOT 6 CLOSED

Holá,

There is no support for background images, currently. One possible workaround is: you can try to use two overlapping regions and set the "background" image in the back region as infinity loop.

I implemented backgroundImage and backgroundRepeat functionality for regions yesterday, but the solution is unsatisfying so I did not commit the code.

The problem is that QWidget supports only local files as backgrounds. So background image must downloaded first. If the player starts the SMIL-File with a remote background image for the first time, the download is not completed and background will not shown.

Give me some time to find a more elegant solution. If you can live with local background files I can commit the current code.

I changed some internal calls in the lib and now garlic-player (build v0.3.0.430) support background images and background-repeat attribute as expected.
The workaround with a multi zone is not necessary anymore ;)
