Request for easier access to detailed info

[Gustovier]

Currently if you are watching some content here are the steps to view the detailed info.

1. Press option button
2. Scroll down to detail info (1 long press, or 4 small presses of down direction)
3. select "detailed info"
4. Scroll down to select to Advanced Options
5. select Advanced Options
6. scroll to details
7. select Details
8. Press the right arrow directional button and now you can scroll up and down.

Proposed solution

1. Press Option Button
2. Have Detailed Info be #1, (probably should but Playback Options as #2) on the Option menu

3. Once Detailed Info is selected, have "Details" there along with "Play", and have Details already highlighted
- I see this dialog is really a heavily reused obj so there could be situations where you need the "Play" button, or have it be highlighted first. Not sure if you can make this smart enough to determine where you came from in the menu history to see if the play button should even be displayed

4. Select the Details/Summary info and then move focus automatically to the scroll bar



This same sort of logic could be also used when you are viewing information from the "Info" dialog box that popups when you press the info button. I see the "Delete" option has been put in there under "Play", But "Details" should be put there as well.. and it should be listed above the "delete" option. The delete button at least has it's own physical button on the remote.

Can't you just press enter (or right arrow) on the movie, then down twice and enter for the info. (At work so I may not be entirely correct.)

So just a few tidbits - there's actually a popup mostly ready that has the detailed information - but it's not linked to anywhere in the UI. I'll try to add that for the next release.

But step 2 - you can just press UP to get to Detailed Info - the bottom one is the second easiest to get to.

It's not shown in the Simplified UI because it's not one of the simple options Given how hard it is to get to right now, I suspect that it isn't a very heavily used part of phoenix. Most users probably don't know that it's there.
