add a way to see movie/tv info
eg: cast whilst watching movie i hate having to hit stop/context menu/ movieinfo/cast

You can view some info like poster, plot etc by pressing "I" while the video is running. But there's only so much space available so you can still see the movie.

You don't have to stop the movie anyway to call up the movie info as you describe, select tab instead of stop, this take you back to menus while movie continues in background. Select i for movie info then go to cast then when done select tab again to toggle back into the movie being fullscreen.

All depends on what skin you're using.

For XeeBo I added a Cast/Plot button to fullscreen info.
