There is definitely a labeling function within TalkBack but unfortunately, I 
can't remember what the gesture was. Try and find the latest docs for TalkBack 
with a Google search and I'm certain you will find tha that gesture along with 
several other useful ones. I don't use Android enough to have any of these 
memorized.



Best regards,

Subject: Set Top Box MINIX Neo X8 Further Progress

Okay, I received the box 2 days ago, had a very short play with the box 
Yesterday morning and a longer exploration a few hours ago.

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?
