If any mythgallery users out there could please give my patch a whirl,
and give some feedback, I'd appreciate it.  It is simply a  modified
version of the blend (gl) transition, that zooms/fades out the previous
picture, as the new picture fades in.  The patch file  adds the new
transition- it will be in the mythgallery settings, and is called "zoom
blend (gl)".  The patch is attached to ticket #490:
http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/490 . Any feedback would be great!


Not currently up-to-date with mythgallery or myth generally with the
latest svn versions so can't give feedback but this is the best blend
ever invented.

If you want to give it it's proper name, I think it is called the "Ken
Burns Effect"...

Probably worth editing the wiki to say MythTV will have it by v 0.19 :)

Slightly OT, but has anyone else noticed the slightly ugly step change in the background colour with glblend? If your pictures aspect ratio doesn't match your display (i.e. a 4:3 image on a 16:9 display) as the images cross fade,
the background fades - in my case - from black to a mid-grey. Then it
suddenly snaps back to black. Rather spoils the effect...

Steve-

Yes I had noticed this. I'm not sure why, but the blend routine puts a 20% grey quad behind the fading image. Attached is a diff that changes this to black, so you dont see the grey flash at all. Hope this helps. :)
