BsPlayer (android) more remote control friendly

[masteripper]

Hello to everybody....
I am one of the many that have an Android TV Box....
With XBMC normally i wouldn't be here but .... it seems that XBMC carries all the bells and whistles to play my movie collection except from a small tiny detail.....the quality sucks and when i say sucks it sucks a LOT...
Playing an HQ mkv 720p at night scenes reveals a rather unpleasant experience with actors accompanied by at least half a dozen ghosts....yes i have a lot of ghosting making the viewing experience ....to say unpleasant....
SO i searched to find what i could to replace XBMC for HQ movies and i found that BS fits the bill with Great Qualitu and full Audio/Subs capabilities...but
I am afraid there is always a but....
It is not remote friendly...i can manage volume and moving forward-backward...but that all...and i can get to the menu while playing....but i can't access the player controls and the most important being....Pause...
Maybe i am missing something in the configuration thats why i ask here for ur support...is there some tweak or i have to buy a wireless keyboard/mouse?

Pause should be assigned to Space.

I don't have space just 4 arrows ,back key and numeric keypad on my remote....i think is time to get a mini wireless keyboard

What is the remote model?

Hi everybody,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Arwon and this is my first post in this forum.

I'm suffering the same issue than masteripper. I own a Mibox (xiaomi android device), and the remote control only has 3 bottoms, therefore I can not assign any bottom to show the control bar (play/pause), and when I press the central bottom nothing happens.

I like this video player (I've tried a lot), I think is one of the best, but this issue is really annoying when you have to stop the video.

Is there any way to solve it?.

Thanks for your help.

Just adding that a Kogan Smart TV model KALED473DSMTZA with remote has this issue as well. Running Android 4.2.1

I have arrow keys, volume+-, menu, back button, mute, and would be nice to map the enter button to pause/play.

Thanks

EDIT: See the next post re long presses on remote control buttons

I will try the 1.22.176 build when the TV is not in use and see if there is a difference and report back.

Thanks

I've tested this in the 1.22.176 Android release and what I realised is that the long button presses for Menu and Back do not do anything.

Can someone please confirm that they work in a remote control situation when you change the Gestures settings to alter the long press function on these keys?

Thanks
