As I got my Hand on an MK808 and trying XBMC for Android I wonder if aMPdroid wouldn'b be a better alternative to this? As it comes with all the interfaces needed to connect to MP only a sufficiant surface is missing for use on a the TV - and maybe some tweaks in the way items are selected (well - if looking at the xbmcinterface I see nothing what could't be done via aMPDroid)

I'm not sure how they do it, but most Android media players (MX Player, Mobo Player, Netflix, etc) will "hide" the ICS navigation soft buttons while playing a video. This reduces them to dark grey dots, that do not distract from the video.

On tablets, this also hides the system clock and the notification bar, which can be very bright relative to the video. 

I would love for the integrated video player to also hide/dim the soft keys in the same way.

This post on StackOverflow looks relevant:

It would be a nice feature if you could have your favorite series highlighted in EPG list. This would help you to record your favorite programs and lowers the risk to miss a recording.

Are there any plans to make this available on the Ipad and not just Android tablets?
