My keyboard works fine with the DMM image, but not with PLI images.

Is it not possible to use the Dreambox IR keyboard with PLI images?

I would like to use the keyboard when adding autotimers and when using EPG search.

DM8000, Enigma2, pli beta

The keyboard works like a remote control.

It does not work like a keyboard.

(If I press the letter keys, like R for example, nothing happens. If I press the number keys then it behaves just like the number keys on the remote control behaves - multi-press to get various letters/numbers.)

Exactly what version, did you update to today's version? I believe this
issue has been fixed some time ago.

Thanks!

Ticket (http://openpli.pli-i....org/ticket/193) created.

Is there a way I can disable the virtual keyboard? I would like to check if it works when the virtual keyboard is not used, but can't find a way to switch off the virtual one...

That's the problem then - and there's no way to NOT use the virtual keyboard?

no, it's hardcoded.
It should be possible however to support ascii keys in the virtual keyboard. We just need someone with some spare time.

I may be able to help (with a little guidance) but I have not got a compiler installed...

If it's in the python code then just tell me where to look and give me a hint on how to fix it and I'll do my best.

(details may not be correct, this is how I remember it)

If you look at config.py, several config elements handle ascii keys.
This is done with some rather ugly hack; a KEY_ASCII is sent into the system, and the handlers can query the actualy ascii value.
Similar thing should be done in the virtualkeyboard.

I had a look at it, but I am not able to make the neccessary changes. I wrote a handlekey routine, and told it to do somwthing when it received the ascii code for "g" but when I pressed key "g" the "illegal key" indicator appeared in the top right.

that probably means you need to add the ascii key to your actionmap (when a key is not in the actionmap, this indicator is shown)

I think adding "InputAsciiActions" should fix it.

Not working, that's why i get refund of Dream keyboard in webstore where i bought it(thanks to paypal), i don't have it anymore.

Only buy it again if i'm shure that Openpli beta supports every button /images/smiley/pfft.gif

How about a USB keyboard(qwerty us), is it possible that we can use usb keyboards, and can add functions to F-keys?

Dreambox Dm8000 with all hardware addons donated to OpenPli. No interests anymore in policy of CanalDigitaal / M7 group and now-a-days channel encryption (like CI+ / HD+).

Good luck Enigma2 / OpenPli, it was fun with Sky Movies and so on, collected a nice collection of movies. Now back to basic boring lineair TV with KPN iTV (VDSL2 pair bonding 219 / 63 Mbps).

The VDSL pair bonding is excellent for... torrents to NAS in higher quality then HDTV (Like Dolby-TrueHD or DTS-Master-Audio soundquality ) :D

The keyboard is working with the DMM image, and was probably working in PLi as well, until they added the VirtualKeyboard.

I tried just now to use the keyboard in a component that I think does not use the virtual keyboard (the dvd burn plugin). The keyboard doesn't work there either.
It would be helpful to know if anyone can get the keyboard to work anywhere on an enigma2 box?
It works like a remote: arrow keys, menu, ok key, exit key and number keys work fine, but that's about it. No letter keys work.
