[Future Enhancement]: Extra/incorrect navigation inputs in mini player

[clockwinder]

I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

Then navigating the minimized player, extra inputs into the background browser are made.

This issue can probably be ignored if issue #6 is implimented.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. From the main menu
2. Click on a podcast
3. Click Stream
4. Once the podcast is playing move left onto the "rewind" button
5. Press your "back" button
6. Alternate pressing your right and left buttons
7. The page should scroll down as non-player items are selected

I made a .gif of the issue in action, but github wont let me upload it here.

What was Expected?

Only navigation of the player.

Since we're going to close the player fully for now, I'll get back to this if/when I'm able to add the option for the user to choose:

• Allow minimized checkbox on user creation and user settings screen

or

• Default to always close player when not full screen

If you can send that gif to me so I can save it for review once I am able to get back to this, that would be great if you still have it.

Looks like a Microsoft account is needed to upload there. How about just an imgur upload?

That helps. And I know this may sound utterly insane, but that functionality is by design. I never dug too deep on doing much with the mini player, I would just jump out of the player by pressing up on d pad, removing focus from the mini player, so I could nav the app.

It leads to an unintended glitch where left/right nav is impossible in the app while the mini player is actively in focus for the buttons, apparently......Good stuff. I was doing so much just getting everything to work with the remote that refinements are clearly needed.

Thanks again for the help. I can keep this one shelved, as the "always full screen" works well for the moment until somewhere down the road.
