Controlling car PC?
Controlling car PC?
I've got a 7" touchscreen so I don't need a keyboard and mouse, but was wondering about switching out of the DVD player back to windows? Using winDVD, I right-click and go to exit. But how to go about this without a mouse? What other options are there?

Re: Controlling car PC?
hmm good Q...
can you double-tap the screen? most media players allow you to double click on the screen to go into Full-Screen mode, and vice-versa
P.S. windows allows you to control the double-click speed in your mouse settings, you may want to slow this down a bit so that it has enough time to recognize your finger's double-tap<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small"><EM>Edited by ramborami on 05/17/04 09:28 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

Re: Controlling car PC?
Get a remote control or program your steering wheel controls or some other button to perform the key combination to switch your dvd player to windowed mode.
Re: Controlling car PC?
Well, the steering wheel controls I'm going to keep for the radio. But I've never used a remote control. Is that basically a wireless mouse in your hand? Can i sit in my driver's seat and play solitaire with that?

Re: Controlling car PC?
I don't follow you regarding frodoplayer. Is there a list of features so I can see what it has to offer as opposed to using other apps?

All about it is here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=47
It is basically a front end for WMP. It supports music playback, library database, DVD playback, external apps and more.

I hate WMP. But this seems more organized. I do prefer to use iTunes, but I'll give frodoplayer a shot. Thanks!

Re: Controlling car PC?
frodoplayer is pretty good.... it has a small share of issues, especially the slider bar. Even with the new arrows, it's not my favorite. That or mediaengine is easily the best in my opinion though.
Definately a great app considering it's free. Once I determine exactly which app I stay with, I'll be making a little donation though.

Re: Controlling car PC?
I just found out that double-tapping the screen during fullscreen mode brings up a mini remote on the bottom. Triple-tapping reduces the movie to normal mode which basically minimizes the app, so I can get to the other stuff.
I might try media car later on for a custom interface.
