I think this was a great addition but I think it introduced some regression in Music track rating while playback. While on Full screen, playing any track and bring up info OSD, you were able to press UP arrow or DOWN Arrow on remote any MCE like remote and rate the song playing by more or less stars.
Now you instead skip forward or back into track and its some huge trek by menus and clicks and excessive navigation to go to the only other place its possible to rate by track which is about as user friendly as a bag of dirty laundry inside a microwave.

From what I can see the actions "IncreaseRating" and "DecreaseRating" have been left unmapped, so to return to previous behaviour you need to create a remote.xml (if you don't already have your own user one) and add:
Code:
<Visualisation>
<remote>
<up>IncreaseRating</up>
<down>DecreaseRating</down>
</remote>
</Visualisation>
or map to different buttons if you want to keep the skip behaviour on Up & Down.
So this is a per user only possible or can this be added to master? Cause tbh makes no sense to stop all users in general from being able to do a very unique and Music only orientated function and require more hidden knobs/controls. Sorry makes very little sense to me to remove this at all in guise of aligning video/music controls, since music has unique functionality like rating a track and you cant really rate your videos and never could.
Thx for the tip though will definetly have to add it but I prefer it works OTTB for users who been doing this since stone age, like my wife, who is the reason I said something cause shes crying in my ear going, why is this skipping now... lol

Channel Up/Down ... never work for video where Live Tv is concerned, because I can hear the cries, Channel Up Channel Down is for PVR and we wont let you use them anywhere else.
Add more noise to OSD in the ways of spinner controls you have to navigate also odd imo, but hey...
Given this move I would expect functionality to be kept in some way, so lets hope theres a solution on the horizon and this doesn't get forgotten or buried, in the meanwhile will have to maintain yet another patch on my local install or add custom keymaps I never had to maintain in over 10 years of this.

Rounding issue with seekstep overrides:

Everything is displayed correctly except the 90sec. Kodi labels it as "1min"
