Hi, I followed this thread as I have been in a very similar position. Markiii very kindly helped, so I understood then that to use a keyboard emulator (Flirc + Touch Remote) I needed Jivelite. My experience was different to yours. PiCore 7 (on RPi 4) remained unresponsive with keyboard alone. I had to add an HDMI display. Adding my HDMI monitor + keyboard + mouse, I could save a display setting and then the keyboard (and Flirc) worked brilliantly. I saved via autostart, and did a PcP backup. Removed keyboard and monitor, all works great ... until a reboot! The Jivelite config is lost and the whole process has to be repeated. Incidentally (and I have seen this somewhere in another thread), on PcP 8.0.1 Jivelite wouldn't display - the Picore logo appears briefly on boot up, then disappears to a blank screen. So I can only install Jivelite using a monitor on PcP 7. If anyone has any further tips or advice as to where I am going wrong, I would be delighted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ plasticator2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115816 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
