Remote Question - cd1 - 18th Dec, 2013 12:32 AM Hello All, I am currently using the Raspberry Pi with the Xbian beta 2 release.. I wanted to see if anyone can give me some advice to which remote control kit is the best out there to use and will work well with both the raspberry pi as well as the xbian release. thanks once again RE: Remote Question - rikardo1979 - 18th Dec, 2013 12:46 AM (18th Dec, 2013 12:32 AM)cd1 Wrote: Hello All,write some more about your setup first, how you re connected, what you going to operate, if just just simple media operation etc... the info you provided is just simply not enough, cos all this people can start advice their remotes which actually not suits you. So find what you need it for what you going to do with it and rest is above -thx- RE: Remote Question - cd1 - 18th Dec, 2013 12:53 AM (18th Dec, 2013 12:46 AM)rikardo1979 Wrote:(18th Dec, 2013 12:32 AM)cd1 Wrote: Hello All,write some more about your setup first, how you re connected, what you going to operate, if just just simple media operation etc... Sorry About that.. Basically I have xbain loaded running xbmc. I have installed a few apps in there. ( filmon, Mashup and iheart radio.. I just need some kind of remote to navigate through this so I don't have to use a wireless keyboard.. I am going to be giving this to my parents who would prefer the remote better than a wireless keyboard.

RE: Remote Question - rikardo1979 - 18th Dec, 2013 02:02 AM so you dont need and extra remote as your TV it supports Anynet+™ (HDMI-CEC) you may need to turn it ON maybe somewhere in menu but than you should fully operate your XBian XBMC with the remote of your TV |
