    Description

      When you start a movie and it takes a second or so before playback is ready (e.g. due to MediaInfo.dll or network access) the VideoOverlay is still visible as it is triggered by an OnVideoChanged event.

      Playback has already been started but not a single frame has been rendered yet.

      Currently you see a black picture and no times as well as only the file name instead of the name from the database.

      Displaying the VideoOverlay should not happen until at least the first frame is ready to be rendered, meaning current position, duration, proper title are available. Or as playback happens in Fullscreen it should not be displayed at all unless playback was already in fullscreen before.

      h4. Steps to Reproduce
      Start Video playback of a small file (e.g. a TV Show) and then a large 1080p MKV. The VideoOverlay will shortly be made visible before the actual playback starts.
