No problem. At least we could figure it out what causes your problem and maybe someone will contribute to that section of the skin. I guess it's not that hard to implement.

What I have done in the end is map to a button on universal remote.
The info and menu buttons have a purpose on almost every screen, however I use "guide" as a context menu button, so it's mapped to "c"
but, when playing a video, that doesn't offer anything, so I mapped that to DVD menu.

xml:
<keymap>

  <FullscreenVideo>

        <keyboard>

            <backspace>Stop</backspace>

            <escape>Stop</escape>

            <c>PlayerControl(ShowVideoMenu)</c>

        </keyboard>

    </FullscreenVideo>

</keymap>

if you don't know the button, you're still stuck, however it's a lot better than nothing!
