Wireless remotes with OpenElec?

[Teleport]

Can anyone answer if the i8+, i12 and 125 wireless remotes will work in OpenElec, or only Android, please?

I ask as they all need a dongle to be inserted in one of the USB ports, so I'm guessing driver software comes in
somewhere.

Thanks

Rii i25 works no problem

Thanks again Droid.

I do like the look of the 125, but the lack of a stop button puts me off.

Why do you need a stop button when they will all have OSD of play stop fast forward ect, that's why it's got an air mouse. Until you just said that I hadn't even noticed it didn't have one.. Ooppss

Did you sort out getting back into Android from openelec I out an update in that thread for you.

Also try the droidbox share app it's not bad, but I love the air mouse takes a bit ok getting used to and adjust it's speed to suit you but I wouldn't be without it

Does Droidbox share work in OpenElec?
It's an android app isn't it?

Good point I've not tried it, I just thought I would mention it as an alternative while you were deciding which remote and awaiting it's delivery.

i8 and i12 work in openELEC (for future visitors), the i25 should work, but I've misplaced the USB dongle so can't test it right now.

my air mouse works with openelec to a point, at the mo i cant get the menu and return buttons to work

 

[ChrisM]

If it helps, C (on the QWERTY keyboard) is an alternative to the Menu button.
With Return, does Esc (escape) or simulated right click (depending on the remote control) work?
Also worth checking out the KeyMap Editor (within the Programs menu) in openELEC.

nice one, i tried the esc and c buttons and worked a treat, i can now put the other remote back in the box

I tried mine today and while c and esc worked fine I couldn't get the cursor working while the keyboard was face up. It always froze in the wrong place so the c button never got used. Does your cursor work when the remote is upside down?
Regads,

 

[27mark]

no, but i only use the c button when i want to bring up the addons settings which is not very often but at least i dont have to get the original remote out

Thanks Mark. So, anyone knows if the i25 working with all its buttons, including on/off, in openelec?

Regards,

The air mouse function on the VIP and i25 is supposed to cut out when you flip them over to the keyboard side. I use the Up/Down cursor keys if I'm using that side of the keyboard at the time.
Still not found my i25 dongle. I marked them all up with marker pen, but over time they've worn off.
