Hi,

With the emergence of all android box and their simple remote (d-pad, ok and return button only), I'm wondering how more efficient navigation in playback menu would be with a circular menu.

As example, when I want to download subtitles of my new tv show episode, I have to press "ok" button, then multiple "Direction-Right", then "ok", then "Direction-Up" and finally "ok".
Same for changing audio or subtitle track.
It's not a big deal, but after many years using logitech remotes (so direct access to my favourite functions), I'd like to improve my user exeprience on android box.

During video playback, if I long press "ok", it could display a circular menu with predefined (or even better customizable) function or sub-circular-menu.
As example, Audio sub-menu on left, Subtitle sub-menu on top, Video sub-menu on right, and Codec-Info on bottom (as "ok" long press will be used to displayed the circular menu now)

Do you think it could be done via skinning?

Yes, as all OSD buttons have unique IDs. You can put them where you want.

And check kodi default keyboard.xml for controls on longpress etc.

Code:

<play_pause>PlayPause</play_pause>
<play_pause mod="longpress">Info</play_pause>
