Hi,
Ignore that message - we have worked on the script some more and arre now getting just one error message
"name of element is missing"
Please could you advise
Here is the script so far:
<text targetleft>
/ items = (" : ")
/ position = (50%, 40%)
</text>
<text targetright>
/ items = (" .. ")
/ position = (50%, 60%)
</text>
<text focuspoint>
/ items = (" + ")
</text>
