Add volume buttons for tablets without hard keys for volume - muffinchen - 2010-08-26
Hi,
I'm using XBMC for a while with a standard remote control.
Today I got the Archos 7 home tablet (8GB) (for about 160 Euro here in Germany). The first program I installed was the "Android XBMC Remote" program. It works great !!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing I'm missing is a volume control of XBMC with this remote program. As the Ar7 has no hard keys to control the volume - I can't control the XBMC volume. So it would be great if there would be a solution for it.
Idea: Is it possible to read the actual volume of the android device - and set the XBMC volume to the same level ? This may work for phones and tablets.
Thanks for this fantastic programm ! XBMC is now much better than it was already before !

Yes we need volume buttons for those devices without any hardware buttons.
Plus we need a solution for the remote screen on those big screens.
Haven't found a ticket for the volume keys, please post it on our tracker: http://code.google.com/p/android-xbmcremote/issues/list
How is the volume controlled on the Archos tablet without hardware keys?

Archos 7 has a resolution of 480x800 - muffinchen - 2010-08-27

I have checked your "screenshots gallery", there are two remote_portrait.png with different sizes: 320x480 and 480x854
On the Archos 7 the small remote is displayed, maybe because the big one is slightly to big for the Archos 7 (54 pixels missing).

Yeah, those different resolutions are a mess when it comes to nicely styled graphics. We're working on a better solution, that looks good and scales nicely.
