thats where i started - removed the osd_debug & all it's children so it fell back to default OSDDebug layout. it worked even if the layout wasnt correct for the theme. I didnt get as far as digging around in osd-related commits to discover the new deint name. Seems the theming wiki could do with being ammended to atleast mention it...
I'll get round to it eventually; maybe at the weekend when i can spare some dediated uninterupted time to play around and submit a fix on github. I've also a second rpi4 due tomorrow that i'm using to test playback setup with since the deployment info for rpi4 on the wiki doesnt seem correct at all (see another recent thread from me reguarding it)
Short of rooting my Shield (rather not - have to reconfigure everything), which will give me access to the themes dir, a public fix is going to be the only way to get the videos_ui.xml file updated on it.
