It would be nice in Serenity to be able to hit the down button during playback, like on the Plex app, to quickly see how much time is left on a video. Are there any plans to incorporate this feature?&nbsp;

How about the Menu key on the remote? &nbsp;It isn't being used for anything when a video is playing, and won't interferre with potential navigation when the OSD is showing. &nbsp; I'm planning to do a bug fix release this weekend, so should be able to get this in as well.

Updated the Wiki for Remote/Keyboard controls with the latest change. &nbsp;Should be out this weekend for Google Play, and shortly there after to Amazon once they approve it.

1.7.4-M3 is available for testing that has the feature for the Menu key to act as Info when a video is playing.

If I don't hear anything majorly crashing the app, then I'll submit to Amazon/Google app stores this weekend.
