Wireless keyboard?   

Postby RVD26 » Sun Apr 22, 2012 11:59 am

I'm tired of having to enter characters on the screen with my remote when viewing YouTube clips. It takes forever.
Is there anyway I can get a wireless keyboard to work with my player so I can just type out the characters on the keyboard instead?
I am using version 1.05.04 0.5.1.1

Yes. As long as the wireless keyboard has a USB dongle that can be connected to the wdtv, it should work.

Thanks. Can it be just a regular Windows/Mac compatible keyboard or does it have to be a special kind of keyboard in anyway?

Also, is there an Android app that could do the same thing?

Anything that registers as a standard USB keyboard will do. Most wireless keyboards do this already and can be used on windows/mac/linux without special drivers.

There is an on-screen keyboard app in the webend that can be used from a smartphone. It's possible that android apps for wdtv also provide an onscreen keyboard, but I haven't tried any of them.

Is there any noticeable input delay when using a wireless keyboard compared to a wired usb?
