Hiyo.
I'm running Kodi 20.1 on Windows 10, using a wireless keyboard w/ mouse pad for control, and Amber skin.
There's a few things that have always been a little awkward, but I've just lived with them as they're fairly minor. One issue was, any accidental touch of the mousepad during video playback would bring up the OSD (bottom menu), so I'd have to hit Esc to hide it. However, I just found the solution for that (keymaps > NoMouseMove.xml), so 1 down!
So I figured it'd be worth asking if the other things are also fixable:
1) If I go to the TV Shows or Movies screens, there are 3 buttons on the top bar - Home, Back and Settings. On clicking the Settings button, a sidebar pops up on the left, including Misc Options > Update Library. This is how I'd usually update the library after adding new videos. The problem is, as soon as I move the mouse cursor to click the option, the sidebar auto hides. Is there a way to stop this behaviour? I can catch it if I'm quick (!) but it's just a mild annoyance.
I tend click the Settings buttons, then use up / down arrows and Enter to select, and avoid touching the mousepad. I've also added the option to the Power Menu, so I can now update from the initial menu screen, too, so it's not the end of the world if this cannot be fixed...
2) Whilst playing a video, if I pause, the top bar is displayed with showing Paused, time remaining etc. Is there a way to hide this bar? Whether after a delay or on a keypress or anything? Would just be handy occasionally, such as when text is displayed at the top of the screen in addition to the subs at the bottom.
3) Recently, when adding new movies to the library, they will show up at the top of the list without a title, so I have to manually rename them. Not sure if I've inadvertently changed a setting somehow, or if it was a bug with the last version (I see Kodi 20.2 is now available), or maybe the video files were missing some tags or something. Anyway, any reason why this might be happening / any way to fix? I'll update to the latest version soon, just in case.
Cheers.
