robl45 it should

h8buffers the problem is that http api is being deprecated and typing json command will be quite complicated
![Smile Smile](https://forum.kodi.tv/images/smilies/smile.png)
(Not to mention that json is limited on commands).
Some other commands can still be send via Event Server.
The only way i see would be to implement a list of command that can be bind to buttons.
But I'm not sure this will covers all needs, that I must admit have no idea of what they can be since I'm a quite simple Xbmc user.

Well, well, well Nice try
The main problem about that is if I put a finger in that users will always want much more
And all those functions are the goal of the full app for tablets
![Smile Smile](https://forum.kodi.tv/images/smilies/smile.png)
There is so much things that can be done on tablet that will be limited on phone, and since I don't have time to support all and own a tablet well ....
So for the apps I write I'll be :
Phones = full featured and optimized remote and widget that fits perfect on phone.
Tablets (ICS + ) = full feature remote with browsing juke box playlist party mode and more .

i don't know if its possible given lack of key mappings, but buttons or a toggle to switch between video modes on mpc-hc would be excellent. for instance, a lot of movies i watch with touch window from inside video setting, but then most 3d sbs, i have to use pan and scan scale to 16:9 to fit my screen(yea i know it screws the aspect ratio up). anyway, if there was a way to go between those without having to get out of the remote and go to another remote to right click and select, that would be great.
i dont think there is a key mapping to pan and scan 16:9 though. but the settings that make up the pan and scan scale to 16:9 do have button settings so it would have to be a macro type thing to get it to change to that setting each time unless mpc-hc will code in a button for it. unless someone else knows another way to do it. about my only issue right now with my HTPC.

h8buffers : Toggle OSD is already there (it's home button ) but it will be easier to use in V1. For the other commands if only those they are in Json rpc and can easily be added. And i must admit they would allow me to do less clicks so I'll surely find a way to add them
@robl45: Can you check in MPC settings the key Next AR Preset, (Virtkey 859) and add a key to it and test if it does what you want ?
There's already an aspect ratio button in V1 that is mapped to this.

unfortunately no, the toggle AR preset does not do it.

Well so I don't really have a solution
I see that you post on Mpc trac about the ticket #335, perhaps you can reopen it or open a new one asking for a virtkey to do a rotation between the configured pan&scans.

Yes no way to update a directly installed apk to a market one
What do you mean by yucky ? the skin was tested on a few phones and it was always rendering OK.
Witch part Widget / Remote / Now playing ? What phone, what luminosity settings ?

Well I got other bad comments about the new Skin.
Can more people give their opinion on this ?
I'll perhaps put back the black theme in the free version if too much complains and no one like the new one.
