Been doing a lot of research on these forums lately.

I recently setup my iPad mini to airplay through my Apple TV 3. To get the full screen, I downloaded the latest nightly build of Gotham. Works well, and I have a full screen when I choose Video #2.

However, when I go full screen using video #2, my iPad brings up a touch and swipe interface that is not a mirror of what is displayed on the TV. I understand this is probably a work around to get XBMC to Airplay full screen to an Apple TV from and iPad. However, I've noticed that I can't utilize the XBMC keyboard for searches.

Is there another option to get a full screen on the Apple TV from iPad? The interface is lacking keyboard functionality, the ability to manipulate video that is in play, I have to back out. I understand Gotham is beta, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Thanks.

This is a known bug we will not be able to fix for gotham. The tvout thing is ment to be used as an appletv replacement (hdmi) - it works by accident over airplay. In any case the remote interface you see on the ipad is limited in its features and the problem with the keyboard is a bug which i don't know how to fix atm. The whole tvout stuff should be used with a remote app for beeing able to making full use of xbmc. Without an remote app you will lack keyboard support.

Thanks Memphiz. I figured as much but just wanted to confirm.

It sounds like you are making a recommendation to do something differently in there, but I wasn't quite sure what it was. Can you clarify?

Use an iphone or android smartphone and put the offical xbmc remote app on it to control your xbmc instance.

Curious, do you have any / know of any bluetooth remotes that work with the ipad (/ios xbmc)?

The only bluetooth input device other than a keyboard that I have tried is the iMpulse Controller, and it almost works, but I've had a few issues getting it to completely work.
