Touchscreen not working during playback on Acer W500

Hi have Eden installed on windows 8 and the touchscreen works great until something is playing im unable to pause or go back or do anything for that matter. Is there a way to fix this problem? Thanks in advance

I am having the EXACT same issue with the exact same tablet, exact same XBMC version and operating system. Anyone find a solution for this?

nobody of the devs has an windows touch screen device. Don't expect a fix.

that is quite rediculous that they would offer a windows pc version, but not support all aspects of it. kinda a killer for me since we windows tablet users are segregated from the rest.

Well most of us won't buy any crappy windows touch hardware. So even if someone sticks one up my ass - i would need to be in a really good mood to work on that. Take it or leave it dude - we are doing this for our fun - not for yours.

I would agree that up until recently, windows touch hardware has not been very good. But now that win8 is coming, old hardware has new drivers and can do more. I'm running a dell inspiron duo and it performs sooooo much better now with win8. I would appreciate it if devs would continue to support pc's with touch. I am not an apple or android fan, seem either to simple (apple) or to busy (android).

I think it's only a matter of time before we have a Windows dev that wants to work on the feature and an affordable development device.

If I get a free touch screen computer out of it, I'll gladly pretend to know how to program :D

Hi all,

I have an identical problem on an Acer W700. For some reason it stop accepting touch input during video playback. You can touch the screen to open the interface and when you touch a button, you can see a rings-in-the-water indication of the click being registered, but nothing happens. If you give a single click on an attached mouse, it reacts at the previous location of the mouse cursor. I have tried several different video file formats to see if it was a codec causing the problem, but all with the same result. I noticed that if you (using a mouse) go back to navigating around XBMC, the touch interface works fine, even though the video is still playing in the background. As soon as you click the "Full screen" button, touch stops reacting.

Everything works fine during audio playback and for all other purposes. I have tried the standard skin, the Touched skin and the re-Touched skin. I think it works really well using the re-touched skin, except for the video playback issue.

I am aware that you guys cannot be in possession of all devices available on the market and that many of you have a deep felt aversion towards OS' not named after cats or cakes
I am however convinced that all of you are equipped with a great deal of curiosity and insight into the inner workings of XBMC. With the info of the issue only occurring during full screen video playback, I do hope that you can figure out what might trigger the lack of response in this single area of XBMC ...and hopefully you can come up with a fix.

Thx for a great piece of software, which has been the preferred interface on my HTPC since Eden came out. I would get significant WAF-credits if it could also work on the Acer W700 tablet!
