[vlc] Using vout_OSDMessage in modules/control/rc.c

[Bernhard Rosenkraenzer]

Hi,
I'm toying with modules/control/rc.c, trying to add a command to display 
something on the OSD (e.g. for instant messaging -- to allow me to display 
"Go to bed" on my nephew's screen when he's watching a video ;) ).

From looking at the rest of the code, I'd think the patch I'm attaching should 
do it, but it doesn't -- it shows no error message, claims everything is OK, 
but the message is never displayed. [I've switched from vout_OSDMessage to 
vout_ShowTextRelative because the latter has a return value; tried both with 
identical results otherwise].

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
bero
