Hello Bart, I use your Amber skin on an Nvidia Shield Pro with a remote control.

Currently, the playback controls are divided in two activation methods...and a little confusing (especially for the kids & seniors in my family).

The remote has standard play/pause/forward/rewind buttons.
But these only bring up a limited seek bar with no actual buttons.

To get the full playback controls...you have to use an "OK" style button at the top of the remote.
These include the Stop, Bookmark, Info, & Settings buttons...along with the seek bar (with bottom positioning from skin options),

As I said earlier, folks at my house don't really like it.
Navigating between these two methods is physically awkward for the thumb, and a little mentally confusing.

Would it be possible to get a full playback control panel at the bottom (all GUI buttons & seek bar) when using the standard play/pause/forward/rewind buttons?
To my mind, the old Windows Media Player had pretty good looking implementation of such an idea (but obviously, design is at your discretion)...



If folks prefer the current method, then perhaps my suggestion could be added as an option in the skin settings?

Sorry I'm not able to edit my posts, but forgot to mention this earlier.
Another confusing thing is when pressing "Back" button on the Shield remote (to return to the Kodi menu), the video does not actually "Stop".
It seems to be active in the background with a graphical representation at the top of the screen.

The only way to stop the video is the activate the full playback menu ("OK" on the Shield remote) and then you have to physically hit the "Stop" button.
 
I tried setting "Now Playing" in the skin settings to disabled, but that didn't work.

Would it also be possible to add a setting to fully stop the video when backing out the the menu?
Sorry for the barrage of stuff, btw!

@FamShoppa , I am not sure how this can be done, I will do some research.

Regards,

Bart


EDIT: @FamShoppa, I have not found a way to do this from the skin side of things.  You can certainly change the Kodi keymap to indicate that in Full Screen video, you want the back key to perform the Stop action.  You can look in this page for ways of doing this: https://kodi.wiki/view/Keymap
