[FEATURE REQUEST]: Subtitle «gestures». Android TV alternatives - MX Player

I love subtitle gestures (seek to previous/next subtitle) but this feature seems to be unavailable when running on Android TV (no touch screen there). I think it should be trivial to add this functionality, at least, when using a gamepad
Thanks

We already have many keyboard shortcuts for various actions. We will discuss with our product team about the possibility for this one. Till that, You could use mouse to achieve the same.

Thank you for your reply
A gamepad has three different left/rigth controls and they are now doing the same thing (10 seconds back/forward). Programming one of this controls for subtitle navigation should be a 5 minutes effort. Android TV apps should be gamepad/remote friendly. Keyboard & mouse are not normally present in this platform so I'm not convinced with the solution you have proposed (that is Ok as a workaround). I assume that a solution for remotes is not easy (not standard/free controls available) but that's not a problem, as I said previously, with gamepads
Thanks in advance

May be, I could explain a little more. When you use any directional control keys (whether it's a Remote or Game Controller or Keyboard), android generates the same key events (i.e KEYCODE_DPAD_UP, KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN, KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT, KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT, KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER). Most of the android consoles has very simple remote with simple navigation keys. They depends on Navigation Keys for Seeking / Volume change. So, If we change right/left key it will break everything.

Streaming phone`s screen to another Android

As title says. I have two HTC Sensation`s and want to connect one of them to TV via MHL Link, and use another one, but see it`s screen wirelessly on TV. I hope I explained it right. Is there any app that lets stream one phone`s screen to another?

Nope, your best bet would be to download an Aosp rom with working MHL, then connect to the phone by Bluetooth with a Nintendo Wii controller, you'll have to use the TV as a primary screen unless you want to sit next to the phone, you'll have to download an app to allow use of the Wii controller through menus, Wiimote is good!

for example to play games on TV from Sensation wirelessly. Or to watch movies and swap between them while sitting on sofa
Hi,
I do have configured my sensation with my Gtab to do something like you want.
There are a couple of possibilities:
A) using imediashare little (free on the market) on both devices you can stream from one to the other. You can also use the DLNA of the album apk.
B) using tablet remote (free on the market) you can control one device with the other. In that way you can have an Android TV.
C) get a BT mouse and keyboard, and control your phone remotely.
Hope it help.

Bluetooth key board should work fine, the mouse would work as if its 4 directional arrow keys, going through and highlighting click able options, no cursor

found it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUzWmQymoME
in this video I can see cursor on Sense 3.6 (ARHD6.1.1). Do you think it`s fake? I`m not sure now Has anyone tried it?
edit:At 0:28 you can see cursor even in Launcher.
edit2: As in video, bluetooth mouse and keyboard works. Mouse shows cursor everywhere. The only problem is that both buttons on mouse works as click, no back button on mouse. But I have back button on keyboard, so that`s not a problem. ROM I`m using is PKMN v5.1.

I tried thaat, but it still lags too much to play game. But thanks for info, I will look at this app and wait for updates, maybe then it will be good
I believe that in order to pair the ps3 controller only root is required. So you dont have to flash aokp, dont have to lose sense for the controller option to work

Sense won't recognise half the controllers buttons and would have problems connecting, sense doesn't have a full Bluetooth stack like AOSP, so 70% of Bluetooth input is ignored
Now you can use our new app, VMLite VNC Server to do that, you run the server on phone, and open a browser on the other to view and control the phone. VNC Viewer should also work.

Works like a charm using VLC on my other phone to watch it.
Hi,
I'm on the same situation as you (OP).
I installed XBMC on the phone connected to the TV and Yatse (XBMC controller) on the phone on my hand. There are some games and good add-ons for XBMC so you can have a good all round media center.
Give it a try...

The only solution so far I got is to switch from original ROM to Christian Troy's CM10 including Zulu99's DroidMote patches.
I am still not allowed to post links, so if you're interested, PM me.
Don't know how similar but I love Splashtop 2
I do not know what "DroidMote" is, but I use Unified Remote as my Android remote control. I watch a lot of stuff on my computer, hooked up to my TV, and it lets me use my Android keyboard as my computer keyboard, and the touch screen like a laptop's touch pad. It's a little jittery due to latency, I think, but it gets the job done. From the couch, I can open VLC's Media > Open and browse my local (PC's) file system and play music or video. The free app has some limitations but is usable enough. If you know VLC's keyboard controls, the basic input remote works well. Only, I use SwiftKey Flow, and sometimes it doesn't send key presses to the system (it wants to build a word). I have a Tasker profile to open the keyboard selector when Unified Remote opens, but it's annoying, so I have it disabled presently.

Unified Remote has nothing to do with DroidMote. (I use both.)

Remote desktop with programmable buttons.

Thanks for any help. I am looking for a app with programable buttons to play pc games from my android. I had one a long time ago but I can't remember it. What I mean by programmable buttons are this, like I use to be able to put a track pad on screen to control mouse movements, with adding any button to the touch screen like mouse click wsad. Etc. Thank you for the help. What I really am doing is wanting to control my pc through my phone on the couch which is to far from my pc and I don't want a wireless keyboard .
I found one, called splashtop hd gaming, but it wasn't on the play store cause it told me it wasn't compatible with my device. I found it on a weird site and downloaded it for free and it works fine and what I wanted, but I would like to have the play store version for 9.99, any way to by pass Google's obviously bad attempt to tell people what apps will and will not work on our own devices?
I use Unified Remote. Can't remember how much i paid for it, its been a while. But it works really well, and has various styles of remotes you can use. Media player remotes, Hulu, Netflix, Simple mouse control and keyboard, etc. There is a free version as well, that lacks some of the remotes, but you can give it a try before you buy.

MX Player only supports the keyboard shortcuts at the moment. Each TV manufacturer has a different set of keys on remote for different kind of functionalities, and it makes it harder for us to support everything through the remote.

Mouse control by keyboard possible?`

I searched and also googled but couldn't find an answer. Is there a way to control the cursor/mouse on an android device via a bluetooth physical keyboard? I am trying to use buttons to control a navigation app (map) - so pan the map to right/left/up/down. This is on a motorcycle so a mouse won't work. I am using Locus Maps, Google Maps, GPX Viewer. Thanks.

How about a mini bluetooth keyboard with a built in touch trackpad? All the keyboard options and functions along with mouse functionality without having to handle a separate physical mouse.
Wont work for our application. We are using momentary buttons that we would like to have act as cursor keys (left right up down). Like on a windows pc. Not sure if thats possible on android?
