Worked before doesn't necessarily mean anything in .24's OSD.  It has
been completely, 100% rewritten, along with much of the video player.
Just because fading worked on Xv before does not necessarily mean that
it will now.  There were performance and technical reasons for lots of
changes, particularly as relates to the way threading works in the
player.

Yes, please move your question to the users list.  I would guess (I
cannot ask the OSD dev since he is not awake at this hour) that Xv
will no longer support fade as of .24.
