%system_time% - %duration%
which, together with the progress bars, would give me an indication of about what time I can expect the movie to end when looking at the display, without opening the movie information in XBMC.
Why didn't I think of that myself? That would make some internal processes alot easier. The current implementation of the "stay idle" functionality is a bit of a hack (which is a huge understatement). Addind something like %time% to the formatting options would make it much more consistent. This will certainly make it into the next release.
