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?
