It is also a bit down to what remote you use.
As a user of x360 wireless pad for xbmc, everything is already one click away in your skin.
In fullscreen video, the start button displays the standard osd (play/pause/stop/subtitles). Most used fonction is always download subtitles, and it is very nice it can be focused as default. Foward/Backward doesn't require opening OSD as it is quite intuitive it is mapped to d-pad. So goes for stop mapped to the red B button. etc...
The right shoulder button displays/hides the movie info screen. That for the family "what are you watching ?" questions ...
So having also controls in info screen would a nice have, but not sure a must have (for me)
I can also control xbmc with TV remote through cec, though I usually don't. And I do understand it is different with std remote as the ok button displays the standard osd and you have to scroll for info.
Does the change mean the "normal video" osd with only controls will disappear?

Yes normal osd would disappear.. you would always see the info together with the controls. Best thing is I make a version ready, then you can test it and share your thoughts.

Merging the two makes sense but always displaying the buttons for pause, stop etc is not necessary if you have the buttons on your remote. So an option to hide them by default would be nice.

Don't think there will be an option because that would break the design but you'll see.

Could you please disable tvtunes and tv show next aired and try again (settings -> skin -> add-ons)? I'm quite sure that either one script or both scripts running together at the same time is the problem. Not shutting down is unfortunately an annoying problem which still isn't fixed properly.

Question: Do all the movie views simply label the quality of the movie as HD or SD?

Hi
I tried a lot of different skins but i must say i always come back to Xperience i love it.
I change my hardware and i tried the skin on raspberry pi and the little black box and the skin is very slow.
I remove fanart and all the fancy options but still xperience is not responsive on those devices.
If i can help or beta test to make maybe a light version it would be much appreciate
Thanks
Cheers

The only thing is don't like is the Home in the Menu.
I wanted to hide the Home Section but haven't found a setting for this?

I won't add a setting for now. I have explained the why somewhere in this thread. Short answer: it's too complex code-wise for my taste (already too complex…). Home is the center, is the default control and if it's gone there have to be a bunch of exceptions.
I'm planning to make everything hideable in the future but it needs changes to the XBMC core so it won't happen until Gotham (XBMC 13) is ready.

I like the now OSD design so far, I can see how it will make accessing functions much quicker. Will the osd show then when a video is simply paused though? I really like the feature in certain skins to show info on pause. Also I wanted to ask if the disable scroll plot feature is broken? I have it disabled in the skin settings yet it has no effect, plots in the info dialogue still scroll and more often than not they start at the bottom of the text when first opening Info, forcing me to have to manually scroll upwards to the top.
