Hi All, I'm trying to setup a Raspberry pi with a touch screen (HDMI & USB, Waveshare 15,6") for kid entertainment in my car. I'm all good on emby server and Emby Theater app, but I can't figure out why my touchscreen events stop while playing videos... I get events (and the touchscreen works) while browsing the menus etc. but as soon as I play a video, the touchscreen stops responding. As soon as i press esc to exit the video, the touchscreen is working again. This is true when running the emby theater linux app, and also when watching through a browser (chromium). I know this is not directly an Emby issue, as the same issue exists on youtube.com I verify the input events from the touchscreen using this command (I'm remote accessing though ssh) DISPLAY=:0 libinput debug-events & here's the event log: event5 TOUCH_FRAME +128.019s event5 TOUCH_MOTION +128.032s 0 (0) 84.77/67.79 (262.08/118.16mm) event5 TOUCH_MOTION +1803.834s 0 (0) 84.77/67.79 (262.08/118.16mm) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +128.032s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1803.834s event5 TOUCH_UP +128.048s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_UP +1803.850s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +128.048s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1803.850s event5 TOUCH_DOWN +1805.482s 0 (0) 13.42/58.62 (41.49/102.18mm) event5 TOUCH_DOWN +129.680s 0 (0) 13.42/58.62 (41.49/102.18mm) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1805.482s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +129.680s event5 TOUCH_MOTION +129.759s 0 (0) 13.40/58.69 (41.43/102.30mm) event5 TOUCH_MOTION +1805.561s 0 (0) 13.40/58.69 (41.43/102.30mm) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +129.759s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1805.561s event5 TOUCH_UP +1805.571s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1805.571s event5 TOUCH_UP +129.769s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +129.769s -event2 KEYBOARD_KEY +152.493s *** (-1) pressed -event2 KEYBOARD_KEY +1828.295s *** (-1) pressed event2 KEYBOARD_KEY +1828.415s *** (-1) released event2 KEYBOARD_KEY +152.613s *** (-1) released -event5 TOUCH_DOWN +1833.327s 0 (0) 75.52/59.96 (233.47/104.52mm) -event5 TOUCH_DOWN +157.525s 0 (0) 75.52/59.96 (233.47/104.52mm) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1833.327s event5 TOUCH_FRAME +157.525s event5 TOUCH_UP +157.526s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +157.526s event5 TOUCH_UP +1833.328s 0 (0) event5 TOUCH_FRAME +1833.328s event5 TOUCH_DOWN +157.527s 0 (0) 76.42/48.73 (236.26/84.94mm) Here, I'm tabing a movie and starting it, but haivng to press the ESC key on a keyboard to exit the movie and gain control with the touchscreen again... I hope some of you can help with solutions or maybe suggestions on where to look / how to proceed? Thanks!

Would love to see full touchscreen support for scrolling down the media lists especially also to be used with the theme plugins e.g: Crystal , Diamond ect.

Hi All, I have 3 feature requests so I'll just put them in this post with explanations for each. Feat 1: I would like to see support for touchscreen monitors,In other words up and down arrows for movie , music ,TV series lists ect I have a library of over 1,000 bluRay movies and use a 17" touchscreen so once the list gets to a certain amount of movies a up & down arrow appears or we could have the option to select "Use a touchscreen" (Tick the Box) to activate this feature and this would also hide the mouse. Feat 2: Dual Screen support, The ability to operate the main program on a touch screen monitor and selecting the movie or music video/TV Series would play on the second screen. I have a 56" Samsung 3D TV so MB3 would defect the Samsung TV or any external TV and would play the videos or music to that TV. Feat 3: Ability to build play lists: You could line up mixed content i.e. movies , music videos , music & TV series instead of electing content to play all the time it would be good to set and forget. I have tried a few media software and find this to be the best but just limited for touchscreen use. Regards Brett

This has been asked in the old forum and it was suggested that I use a different client but I really like how MBT is progressing so would like to raise it again... Is it possible to have navigation chevrons so that touch screens are supported in MBT?
