Yep and that's just it, how to issue that gesture when you're not using a touch screen? I think I can import labels somehow by the look of things so - if that can be done - then that's the way I'll go but its not a crucial issue for the Media Center App, I've used so many CD players in my life that I know the order of the basic transport layout by heart and its emulated with the transport controls in Media Center. For example on the very left you have previous track, then previous 10 seconds, play/pause, skip 10 seconds, next track, play mode and then volume.

I'm surprised at just how accessible Android on this box is and I've been able to access and use many of the features with just the remote controller though a keyboard - whether it be Bluetooth or USB - is certainly a handy adition at times particularly when it comes to entering Passwords and the like. I'm not saying that entering Passwords isn't impossible to do with the remote controller I just haven't found out how its doen yet if indeed it can be done, when on the keyboard with the remote control nothing seems to speak with Talkback so I might try Shine and see if that makes any difference. So having everything set up to my liking it was time to have a look at playing media with this box which is precisely what I bought it for and lookign round the selection of preinstalled Apps I discovered a Media Center App. The App seems to be quite a versatile one, I've not gone into it thoroughly but it would appear that you can stream from - play media to another device from the box - or stream to - take media from a server or another device and stream it to the box - using DLNA and Airplay, didn't get the Airplay functions to work but the DLNA functions were easy enough to set, I continued listening to the 26 Hours serial through the MINIX Neo X8 which was connected to my Bose Soundlink Mini via Bluetooth. Unfortunatley the buttons in the player of Media Center aren't labeled but they're arranged in a logical order so if you're familiar with the buttons on a CD player than you'll know exactly where the previous, play/pause and next buttons are so this bets the question is there any way to creat labels for Talkback to identify these buttons and import them onto the MINIX Neo X8? -- ** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
