I think I'd rather see a single consistent layout of buttons (apart from ones that are not used for the type of media that is playing).
I'd agree until you look at what the button actually do. Does that level of user do anything more than pause, forward and back? Do they change video and audio setting for each file? I'd say not. No buttons on screen and just using the buttons on the remote for those functions is much simpler for your average user.
