Original Patchwall. Minus being forced to install apps like Hotstar as it requires subscription. I only like to install which I really watch. I really miss ability to use a virtual mouse without adb bugging and taking screenshots.

If all content could be played through the built-in media player of the OS, it would be great.

Right now, we have to learn different media player interfaces of each app. Turning subtitles on/off is different for each app.

Or a remote button could be provided for turning subtitles on/off.
