I've connected my 101 to the Tv with the hdmi cable, everything's fine except that when i enter the Video section, i can only choose to play the first videos, i cant scroll down to play the other videos. Is there a way to specifically scroll down the page and play the other videos ?
Thanks.
How do you browse videos when you connect to the Tv ?

Saku,
Scrolling is performed the same way you would without the TV connection, BUT the screen response is noticeably slower. I had the exact same confusion, so don't feel bad...
Place your finger/stylus on the lower portion of the screen, then wait a second or so for the screen to react (you'll see a scroll bar appear if you watch carefully), then slide upward to scroll your video list.
I have generally found that some of the screen manipulations on my 43 are a bit clumsy, and I have been blaming it on myself, as I was not used to the Android interface. At this point, I don't think it is me. Slow screen response and lag time just make things a bit awkward at times.
I guarantee you will select the wrong video once or twice before you get the hang of it, but it will work with a little bit of practice.

Drag your finger down the left edge of the screen. Confusing, yes.

You should touch the screen and hold for 2 seconds, then swipe as you do when dont connect to the TV

I use a wireless bluetooth keyboard/mouse combination. With firmware 2.3.20, you can use an Android phone to control your tablet. There is an app called Archos Remote Control which is installed on firmware 2.3.20 and later.

It's all described in the user guide: check it out ("21.2.1. Screen as Touchpad").Saku wrote:I've connected my 101 to the Tv with the hdmi cable, everything's fine except that when i enter the Video section, i can only choose to play the first videos, i cant scroll down to play the other videos.
