No worries, I am not planning to change any order. This would cause unnecessary trouble.
I was just locally updating the help screen for the remote buttons to reflect the current working longpress functions. This also fixes some issues with the translations no-one ever complained about.

This is because I chose to keep it like this.

I personally don’t really use that bottom row of buttons much on the remote screen so I won’t be able to provide any feedback regarding this. If anything I think it might be splitting hairs when these options are a pane away on the main menu.
Regarding long presses I view them as a necessary evil. There’s limited screen real estate and this doubles the amount you can do in the same space. I agree that long presses should avoid doing something dramatically different from what a short press does.
I agree, the help screen really should be updated to reflect the undocumented features.
UlfSchmidt - I too was curious about the lack of Buschel’s lack of Team Kodi handle. Thank you for asking about that.

I take your both feedbacks as a clear NO to add long press functions which are not related enough to the button otherwise. I will then remove the non-working code from the remote button long press implementation to keep this clean. If you have a good suggestions for a long press function for Music (Music Videos?), Movies (Videos?), TV Shows and Pictures let me know.
I am not sure if I would add more buttons, e.g. another row below the current one. There is enough space for newer devices but I feel this overloads the remote and would be difficult for the smaller devices. Maybe generally moving to 5 buttons in a row is an option to look at. This would allow to add one button to the upmost and the lowest button row. I am mainly searching for a way to add PVR (Live TV and Radio) and Favourites.
This again would require an update of the help screen. What bugs me with maintaining these screens is that these are localized images which always need a lot of manual work. I really need to find a better way to set this up, maybe with a picture showing all buttons with an index. And below there is a localized text next to each index… I tried something similar a while back, with no good success. The more languages are added, the more difficult the maintenance will become.

Hi Buschel,
I confirm subtitle message is fixed.
I forgot to mention the other day I found a minor navigation bug.
If you navigate deep into the tv show art screen - the one you access by scrolling to the bottom of the show details and tap on the bottom image.
Once the fan art is in immersive mode If you try to swipe back to the previous screen it will take you to the main menu.
Tapping on the art to leave immersive mode and go back to the show details and then swiping back takes you to season listing for example.

Confirmed, but nothing I can do about it -- I can simply not find the root cause.
