Hello.

I have a Logitec Dinovo Mini, and so far it works great with my Acer Revo and XBMC 9.11. However, I can't figure out how to scroll using the Dinovo. Using a regular mouse, I use the track-wheel, but the Dinovo mini doesn't has one.

Any idea how I can scroll through a movie using the Dinovo?

Thanks for your help!

I guess you can use the scrollbar, but that's not really ideal. It really depends on what the Dinovo provides in terms of the driver and so on. I'm guessing it acts similar to a track pad, so having a separate scroll zone would probably be done at the driver level.

I'm pretty sure some others here have one, so hopefully they'll be able to give some more info.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Thanks for the reply.

For some reason I can't use the scroll bar on the xbmc screen (the one that pops up down at the bottom right). When I click on it the movie just pauses and un-pauses, but doesn't move the scroll bar.

Yeah, hopefully a Dinovo Mini owner will show up with the answer. Wink In the meantime, I'll check over the software that came with the device again. Maybe I missed something there.

Apologies - I thought you were referring to the scroll bar in a list of items.

The "time elapsed" bar is actually a progress bar which is why you can't click on it. In fact, you can't interact with it in any way as it's a non-focusable control.

After Dharma I'll try and remember to make this a bit easier for those of you with mice-type devices (it'd be good for touchscreens as well).

Cheers,
Jonathan

Well for XBMC i always put my dinovo in keyboard mode so the touch pad now act as a up down left right keys wich is perfect for scrolling since xbmc have some kind of accelleration if you keep the down or up key long pressed Smile

I never use mouse mode since everything can be used with only keyboard mode and much more quickier Smile

Yeah, I find that the keyboard mode is much better too. Except when I want to right-click something to bring up a menu. But I've gotten pretty good at flipping back and forth between the two.

The best I can find to scroll is just using the >> button and running it at full throttle. That works for now. But in the future it would be cool if there was a way we could click on the scroll-bar and the picture would just jump to that point.

Anyway, this is a great program you guys have here. Thanks for all your hard work!

You never need right click Smile

There's a key for all actions. And if you need other key you can change your keymap (see wiki)

For example right click on media list is by using key C
