I am talking about to have the important operations to make by one
click, not all of them. There is a maximum number of buttons to make on
an interface. 7 buttons under the video to control the playing of the
videos. 2 Buttons above the video to open videos. 4 buttons above the
video to modify the playing (selection of the menus, chapter, language
and subtitles). At last, a button above the video for the full screen.
7 buttons under, 7 above, this is reasonable.
The 1 click is not the solution to all problems of usuability, but used
wisely, I found it's rend a soft more intuitive.
