Hi guys. Really love the Kodi app! One thing I have always found annoying on the android version is that the nav-bar stays up during playback. Now I realize it's possible to deal with this in one of 2 ways.
1.Have android 4.4 (I'm only on 4.2)
2.Have a rooted device (no known root methods are known for my device)
Up until now I have thought there is not much you guys could do about it (on an un-rooted device anyway) that was until I played a video on Sopcast and after a few seconds the nav-bar went away (yes on my un-rooted 4.2 device!) when i touched the screen it comes back, then goes away after a few seconds.
Such a feature on Kodi would be gold for somebody in my position, I'm just wondering if it would be possible to implement.

EDIT: okay so I know it's not "real" immersive mode but it's effectively just as good as, the nav-bar get's hidden which is great..
EDIT2: Okay so i noticed vlc do something similar :/, the nav bar vanishes after a while.
