Which is fair enough then remove it from the branch not the trunk, where main development should be taking place and the issues can be fixed, you would expect trunk to be unstable but have the latest features. > What's the thinking behind the plug-in in the first place?

The problem with mplayers and vlc OSDs is that they are scaled so appear at different sizes depending on the source material, not good! Xine, I think has less of a problem if you enabled the unscaled OSD but still rather rudimentary. The aim of the OSD was to provide a consistent UI and to allow additional things like menus while the player was active, so for example in the future we could add a menu to select bookmarks while the video was playing.
