Oh wait, I GOT IT FULLY WORKING!
So I had set the wait frames to zero, (because I wanted the transition to be seamless) but I set it one and it works!
Sorry for being a bother, turns out my own silliness was the source!
I FIGURED IT OUT! I had to disable the CustomLogo plugin.
But, even though it's set to "Ignore" all player commands whenever I press a key or something it treats it like the video is just being played OVER the title and I can navigate the menus and such while the video is playing. I tried the other options and nothing. I think this is a bug.
