Stop movie playback automatically
The standard behaviour of XBMC is that the movie keeps playing when you leave the full screen mode and enter the menus. You can disable that the movie is displayed in the background, but then it still keeps playing and you hear the audio.
Unfortunately it's not very smooth and very annoying.

Two work-arounds:
1. You first press P to pause the movie and then go back to the menus.
2. You press X to stop the movie.

My final method:

1. Open "/home/xbian/.xbmc/addons/<your skin folder>/1080p or 720p"
2. Open "VideoFullScreen.xml"
3. Insert the following code in the second line:
Code:
<onunload condition="!Player.Paused">PlayerControl(Play)</onunload>
4. Save it and restart XBMC

When you now leave the fullscreen mode via the backspace button, the movie will pause automatically and you will not have any stuttering in the background.


Example:
/home/xbian/.xbmc/addons/skin.realaskadark.0.9.6.git/720p/VideoFullScreen.xml
Code:
<window id="2005">
<onunload condition="!Player.Paused">PlayerControl(Play)</onunload>
    <defaultcontrol>-</defaultcontrol>
    <controls>
