i was thinking the BT option would be a good crossover for the smartphone, as typing on a touchphone is a PITA.

this little keyboard goes to sleep after a while, you have to hit a key on it to wake it up. It also has a power switch on the side so you can fully shut it off for long term disuse.

the laser pointer is good for playing with cats.

Dude, that rocks! Kudos! :goodpost:

Just sat here and entered a bunch of these. Only about half of them work, but of the ones I added, several I was already using with PlayOn. Still some gems, though. like Funny or Die and the Onion.

I installed HGTV and Food Network for the wife, which added properly. Then, when attempting to demo, I was greeted with "The owner of this content has asked that it be removed." It does work on PlayOn, though.

I saw over on the Roku forums where HGTV asked that it's content be removed. Right now it's a bug fustercluck between the broadcasters and all these little companies trying to stream their content. What you see today is probably not what you'll see tomorrow.

That's what happened when I started on Boxee Box. If it did all the stuff they promised, and all the stuff it was capable of, it's be hands down he device. Greed rules.

I sometimes like to turn captions on. Roku only supports captions if you have an external .srt file which are easy enough to find. But I've yet to find one that syncs properly with voices of the movie. Most of them are off by 5 to 10 seconds. Anyone know of an easy way to sync them?

there's no offset adjustment in what you're using to play it?

If anyone is serious about buying one, I'm serious about pimping them.

Just playing them from the USB drive hooked to the Roku. I don't see anything in there about changing the sync rate.

I can get subtitles to play in stand alone Plex but they show up as garbled text playing a movie on the Roku via the Plex channel.

Quote from: Joe on February 29, 2012, 11:45:29 AMI just went ahead and pulled the trigger on this. FAVI Entertainment Wireless Keyboard (Built-in TouchPad/Laser Pointer) - Black

I got this bad boy on Saturday. Works well. No drivers to install. It just works. I don't have a usb port on the front of the box so the receiver is plugged into the back of the PC. Still works. Takes some practice to get used to but so far it is an awesome little tool. The only little complaint I have is with the backlit keys, there are a few that are not as bright as most of them.
