I've noticed a difference when pressing X on the built-in video player for Android and ios.

On android when viewing a movie or show, pressing the X will take you back to homescreen.

On ios pressing the X takes you back to sources menu of that movie or show which is what I would prefer for Android also.

The only way to replicate this on android at the moment is to press or swipe back on your phone navigation instead of pressing the X button.

Thanks

Seems like that's device specific, doesn't happen for me goes back to source selection.
