Pressing play (on remote) during playback should show overlay UI

[Trunk 21]

HI,

One minor thing. When a video is playing and pressing play (on remote) should bring up the overlay (playback indicators aso). This is the default behavior on most video players I have tried.

This was possible before the last updates.

Emby Theatre 3.0.20.

HI, we'll take a look at this. Thanks for reporting.

The latest Emby Theatre now have a issue where pressing play on my remote (to bring up the UI) during playback actually pause the video. Hope this can be fixed so it do not pause.

I don't think the video player (MPV) has an explicit play button but a play/pause toggle which maps to keyboard and remote buttons.  The up/down arrow keys will bring up the video OSD.

Well the behavior before the new Emby Theatre in Windows Store had this.  

Now arrow up leads to putting the focus on subtitles and the position dot on the seek-bar is not present.
Now arrow down leads to info screen about the media playing and the position dot on the seek-bar is not present.

The middle ground was before hit play on the remote (standard media remote for windows) to show the HUD / overlay with the seek-bar having focus and position dot present.

The seek-bar having the dot present is the main purpose to navigate with right and left arrows optionally.

I've always used the Emby Theater legacy version (ET 3.0.21) and it never had a exclusive play only button, just the play/pause toggle.  I just use the left/right arrow keys/buttons to seek/navigate which brings up the video OSD with the focus on the dot/cursor in the playback bar.
