[Solved] How to switch to "Full screen" while playing a stream
#1
Hi everybody, I recently started using Kodi and while learning to customize it, I installed Aeon Nox skin but I noticed that in the hidden left menu (the one where you can change the view mode and sort elements in a window) the option to return to "Full Screen" that was on the default skin isn't there anymore, does anybody knows how to add it back? I'm using Kodi with my Amazon's Fire TV Stick so that option was really useful, now when I click "back" in the remote control I have to leave all the menus and close everything if I want to return to watch a video that was playing before clicking "back" the first time

I hope someone can help me! Tongue thanks

PD: I'm using Kodi 14.0 Helix and Aeon Nox 5

I think you are asking 2 sepearte questions here
1- How to switch to full screen mode = Backslash on keyboard or ALT + ENTER ( i dont know how to using just a remote maybe call the keyboard menu & then use these options)
2- whilst playing a video you have pressed back and are now on the previous menu / home screen, All you have to do is press back once again or if using a mouse /keyboard just click onto the playing video part of the screen to go back to that particular screen.
As I do not use Kodi on Any other OS then Windows hence my answers might not be particular to yourself. But still hope it helps !

Thanks for the reply

As I said before, I'm using Amazon's Fire TV so it don't have a keyboard attached to it I can only manipulate it with a remote control, and yes, clicking multiple times the back button returns me to the point that I wanted to but I have to close all the sub-menus I had open before getting to watch the video again without any obstructions. The option I was telling (the "fullscreen" option, the one that removed all the sub-menus at once) was on the default skin but it isn't on Aeon Nox, I was asking if there was a way of modding it, so I could put it there again.

I will look for the code from the default skin, to see if I can do the mod myself.

Well I hope this image helps to understand my problem.

When I use Confluence skin (the default one) and I'm playing the a video in the menu where the white rectangle is, there is an option called "Fullscreen" (it isn't there because I cound't find any screenshot of that panel with a video in the background) when you click that option there it closes all windows, so you can return to watch whatever you were whatching. That option is the one I'm looking for in Aeon Nox

I solved everything by adding some code to the file MyVideoNav.xml and also I create a new entry for the label text

Code:
                <control type="button" id="911">
                    <description>Go to fullscreen Playback</description>
                    <include>ButtonCommonValues</include>
                    <label>41911</label>
                    <onclick>fullscreen</onclick>
                    <visible>Player.HasMedia</visible>
                </control>

I have the Aeon Nox 5.8.6 .... I have been looking through the .kodi foldler and the Add-on folder for the skin and I can't find this MyVideoNav.xml file. I would like to have the movie controls just like they are in Confluence Mod V4. I was used to that and its great. I would like the controls in the side panel and maybe the main window. Can someone please help out.

Thanks
