Remote text input, including foreign characters, for Youtube
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:43 pm
Is there anyone working on something like this?
I would like to be able to use my laptop to enter text, including Thai script, into the youtube search box. Using the onscreen keyboard and remote on my LE55B650 is far too slow and only has English characters (Thai script becomes squares in the search results). There are 2 main problems to solve -
1 - Adding Thai script. I tried the Asian firmware (T-CHL7DEUC-2006.0) which has Thai script but is missing features like freeview digital TV and youtube.
2 - Entering characters with the pc keyboard. The Samygo pc and android remote apps only replicate the TVs remote control so no characters.
I expect each problem would need to be kept separate, so 2 apps would need to be developed. I cannot help with developing but can help with testing.
Thanks for looking.
