[Plex] Unable to use on screen keyboard

[mike28486]

Hello,

 

I am having an issue with Flirc/Plex with using an on-screen keyboard.  When I try to pull up, say Apple Trailers" in the Video Channels selection and go to search it comes up with an on-screen keyboard when this is displayed none of the arrow keys work and neither does the enter button.  The only keys that work are the number keys and the back key (to get off of the on-screen keyboard).  Everything else in Plex/Flirc is working great and always has been, this has been my last hurdle.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Remote - Harmony One

Flirc Programming - Full Keyboard

In plex/xbmc:

Settings --> input devices --> "remote control sends keyboard presses"

Does this solve your issue?

Hey Chris,

 

Under input devices I have "Enable Mouse"  Don;t have a "remote control sends keyboard presses"

 

Using Plex on Windows 7 if that helps.

Ah damn!

I assumed Plex has the same stuff as XBMC (usually does share this kind of thing).

 

Some more google-ing; turns out it is there but you're going to have to go into the xml setting:

Does it work?

Chris....I owe you a beer!  Thank you sir, that worked perfect!

[Chris!]

Yay! Free beer! ;)

 

Don't worry, glad it solved it!

Sweetness!  I've actually had this problem as well but having a mini keyboard as a back up I always just forgot about it as soon as I was done typing in something to search!

 

Thanks Chris!!

I agree with the people in the thread I link to though. It's weird that it is in Plex but they just hid it - maybe they thought it would cause confusion?

Very strange
