Yep, all video any format and all players I have tried most just show black video when I run a movie or any video and have Litestep aswell going.
some players show the video in orginal size not fullscreen or such, but fullscreen doesn't work any way. the video is black and... what do I also see? yeah all the stuff belonging to litestep is drawn ontop aswell.
There is a "and" yeah, if you place something true black "000000" the video shows in it if the player in turn just showed black picture at first.

Have had this problem for quite some time now but was just right now I thought maybe it is Litestep messing whit my video viewing. Tested turning litestep of and there was my video working fine.
At first I didn't have this problem, have had it for some time now so I don't remember anymore at which point it came around. Video and Litestep worked perfect together way back before. Would like it to do so now again

There is a bug in Windows where if something is semitransparent in location 0,0 video will not display. Who knows why but that is what it is. If you move your top bar and all of the elements down one pixel you should be fine.

hmm k, I see. I'll just move those bars then that are in 0,0

thx, finnally getting rid of this thing, been bugging me for several months :P

EDIT:
I fixed my black video now works perfect, but when in fullscreen I get my litestep stuff going ontop of the playing video, how do I fix this?
