Using the Roku remote control with NextPVR can be a bit challenging as there are not as many keys as you might find on a TV remote. That seems to be the nature of all new players though and I tried to make things as usable as possible. To use the remote please review the keys and the Remote Extensions in the following link https://github.com/emveepee/Testing/wiki...dReference A long press means holding the key for a half a second.
These instructions require you to make this change in config.xml
<LeftRightBehaviour>Long Skip</LeftRightBehaviour>
In addition to the NextPVR keys there are a few other things to note.
- The Remote Home key will exit the channel but leave you in the same screen when you return, if you want to Exit completely use the Exit option on the main menu.
- A long press on the * key will provide a channel specific Options Menu, use this to select a server if you have more than one, enter a remote IP or configure things if you run V4 and V5 together or access NextPVR remotely. Also disable Direct Play if your Roku player doesn't support AC3 audio.
- Hitting * during video play will provide an option to show North American closed captioning. I tried to enable DVB subtitles but it is not clear it is possible.
In NextPVR hitting long press on OK will open a secondary dialog. There are currently two choices
- select numbers with left or right , this can be tricky RW and FW cause it number to move 10x but useful for percentage jumps in long lists and channel changing in the guide or live TV. If you hit a number in a recording then you still need to use the left or right key or navigation. If you wish you can select the number withe the play key which is the same as number followed by the right key
With the up/down key you select colours on the Recording screen
Please use this thread to ask questions of provide suggestions on ways of improving remote navigation.
