Full Version: Hid Keyboard and mouse Problem in xbmc
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello,

I installed xbmc Frodo on my Galaxy S2.
It Works very well, but I have a Problem with my bluetooth hid elive Micro Keyboard/touchpad.
First Big Problem is that when I connect my Keyboard and xbmc is already open, xbmc is automatically closed and I have to reopen it manually. (Keyboard Works well)
Same Thing Happen if I disconnect the Keyboard.
The Most Bad Thing is that the Keyboard automatically goes in standby After about 15min, so when I watch a Movie, xbmc will close After 15 min.

Second Problem is that I cant move the mouse Cursor in xbmc, its just freezed at the Position where it was Last in android home Window.
Outside xbmc I can move the mouse Cursor well.

I can live with the mouse Cursor Problem by Not using the touchpad, so the Cursor wont popup.
But I Need a Solution why xbmc is always automatically be closed After connecting Or disconnecting my Keyboard.

Maybe someone can help me?

Thanks in advance






For the mouse have you held down the up right left down buttons to move it around the screen?
Hi,

I am seeing the exact same thing:

I have an Odroid U2 (Samsung Exynos 4, quad, 2Gb Ram), and I connected a bluetooth keyboard/mouse device to it.
The device works well, XBMC works great, but as the thread starter mentioned: after about 15 minutes, I am being kicked out of XBMC.
This seems to be the moment that the bluetooth keyboard goes to sleep, as after xbmc is stopped, and I touch the keyboard, it seems to reconnect/reactivate. After this, I can start XBMC again.
Isn't there some way/setting to make xbmc indifferent to this?

To answer 50% of the question of the topic poster, and my own, I just found this:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/2435

These discussions lead to this patch, and they seem closely related to the issue observed:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewto...1&start=25

http://forum.xbian.org/thread-549-post-7...ml#pid7046

in short: this has to do with the way that xbmc supports bluetooth hid devices. the patch should solve the issue on suspend.
Let's hope this will be in the next build.
