Hello. I installed the 2.1.2 version of blackhole. but I had a big problem:
- When I press once a botton on the remote as (ok - Exit ....) the botton does its job
- But when I press the botton even two or three times the botton does not work. I have to press another botton.
results can not I enter my wifi key. for example. for the letter 'T'. must press 8 five times. but. it crashes in the first clik.
Good afternoon, could somebody tell me how to to put a progress bar on movies list, I can't figure how to do it.
I had it installed (Blackhole 2.12) on my vu+solo2 and I put back OpenPli, i'ts a light image but they have it there.Is there someone who could help, or there is no movies progress bar on Blackhole 2.12?
Thank you for replay. My problem is, that with BH image this T2 stick switches to T2 channel wery, wery long time, sometimes not at all. With Open ATV image it works without big problems.
Good evening, I think, maybe nobody knows about my question I would like very much to have my movies status progress bar, but as nobody helps me I think there is not this possibility on Blackhole .
Thankyou anyway.
I hope my English is good enough, this time and I wouldn't be corrected .
