can't login: keyboard doesn't take any input other than arrow keys #152

I just installed the latest beta on XBMC 13.2 / Ubuntu 14.04 / i386.

After a restart I tried logging in, which didn't work, because the only input that pop-up takes are: arrow keys and enter. That's not very helpful to typing the username / password ;)

Hi,

Are you referring to the keyboard dialogs that pop up after pressing enter on the username / password fields?

igalic commented 10 years ago

Oh. No, I probably don't mean those. I didn't actually try pressing enter in those fields.

mazkolain-zz commented 10 years ago

Ok.

That's indeed a limitation of the XBMC's GUI engine, which renders edit controls (classic text boxes) unusable from python code. Spotimc's login popup fields are actually a quirk (those fields are buttons).

Anyway, thanks for reporting that issue. I'll check again the XBMC docs to see if the GUI engine issues with edit controls are fixed now.
