ToggleFullscreenOnDoubleClick

[sub]

I found with a UI client with touch this wasn't happening but that could be because double tap is slow.

I'm actually wondering if what you're describing is something client side because I just checked it here, and a "dblclick=" event from nlite was enough to select and open guide items. (I commented out the sending of "click=" events in nlite)

Seriously? The right click option is hardly hidden and double click to toggle screen isn't a universal standard either.

Also sorry for hijacking your thread.

Sorry, english is not my native language, and I may have not expressed it properly.
You need 2 clicks to go there, 1 to open the context menu and 1 to press to toggle.
If there was a button in OSD you need only 1 click, the OSD when you touch the mouse shows automatically.
It's not hidden indeed, you just don't see it immediately.
It's just more convenient to be in the OSD, you immediately see it when you touch the mouse.

The OSD is only visible while playing video, so that's not a good option.

What about handling special mouse actions for the corners of the screen in v6.  Uses could add a section to config.xml and designate a keystroke for each corner.  The code would just do that keystroke.  So doing a "{RIGHT}" on the main menu would do nothing.  

The OP for this thread could set one of them to {ALT}{ENTER}.  Someone else might want something like this:

Code:

<MouseCorners>
<Enable>true</Enable>
<TopLeft>{UP}</TopLeft>
<TopRight>{RIGHT}</TopRight>
<BottomRight>{DOWN}</BottomRight>
<BottomLeft>{LEFT}</BottomLeft>
</MouseCorners>

Others might do:

Code:

<MouseCorners>
<Enable>true</Enable>
<TopLeft>{CTRL}{LEFT}</TopLeft>
<TopRight>{CTRL}F</TopRight>
<BottomRight>{CTRL}{RIGHT}</BottomRight>
<BottomLeft>{CTRL}R</BottomLeft>
</MouseCorners>

That way, people that really want to use their mouse could skip around when watching a video, even though it isn't recommended.

I still think the existing right click is simpler.

You are right. I remember how Windows Media Center solved this issue in its days.
They had added special small minimize/maximize/close buttons when it was fullscreen in the right top area and didn't show them in a window, they showed the normal min/max/close buttons there.
It's super easy to go to fullscreen from window, you just click on the maximize button, adding something like what WMC did in fullscreen would make it easier for going from fullscreen to window.

NextPVR is great with a remote as a true PVR, with a large TV especially a full remote with number keys etc. It has a better user interface then any commercial STB I have seen. The mouse is for desktop users, using it or an air-mouse from a distance is really awkward.

I agree on everything, mouse is for desktop users.
NextPVR covers any kind of usage, I am using it since yesterday in my desktop, I didn't know about it, and it is awesome.
Nothing comes even close to it.
I am using it in my dekstop, I could add a remote to my desktop, they are really cheap, but I think it's awkward using a remote in desktop.
NextPVR works perfectly with a mouse.
Tweaking it a little for better desktop/mouse usage doesn't mean it doesn't already work great with a mouse.
As far as I understand there was an option for toggling fullscreen with double click, but it had to be removed before it was causing issues, not because it wasn't something useful for desktop NextPVR users.
I mentioned WMC because this is how it handled the toggle fullscreen scenario.

You can already switch to fullscreen by clicking the maximize button on the window frame. For the next release I've added a small button that appears when you move the mouse to the corner of the screen, allowing you to leave fullscreen.
