So far actions (that happes when pressing <i>) are processed completely differently to context menu button clicks, and can have different results on a mixed playlist,  but the feeling is that ideally these should result in the display of the same info dialog.

That would mean <i> on a music video in the current playlist (of music or video kind) would result in the video dialog, just like the context menu button does. However are there music video users out that have taken advantage of the happy accident / historic design  (?) that means if you have added the music video file to the music database as a song then the song info dialog could be shown?

Yes, that would be the case.  Now that the video scanner can read tags in mp4 files (at least) it reduces some of the incentive to treat mp4 files as music files.  In some ways using the video library is better (you get thumbnails from frame grabs, and video/audio stream details in the library for example).  Of course you don't get the info from artist or album info with video library node.  There is a long-standing bug on music video art in that container views for videodb://musicvideos/albums/ or you drill down from artist such as videodb://musicvideos/artists/7/ you should be able to show ListItem.Art(poster) or ListItem.Icon to get the album thumb from the music library (if it exists), likewise you can get musicinfo for MV artists but not MV albums in the music library view nodes.

Something else, if you navigate music -> music videos -> titles to show music videos, using the info action opens the videoinfo window.  But if you navigate music -> music videos -> artists -> albums for artist -> titles for album or music -> music videos -> albums -> titles for album using the info action does nothing.   The context menu information option does open video info.
