I am brand new to tinker board and to this forum.
I am using my tinker board as a set top box for my bedroom TV. (Tired of old version of apple tv.) I got Android from the ASUS site; it worked right away. Mostly I am using Kodi with Plex add-on.
However, there are aspects of this that are not working well for me. First, I am using a Rii keyboard/touchpad to control the TB. The touchpad acts more or less like a mouse - no possibility of touchscreen gestures, AFAIK.
The problem comes when I browse the web. I would like to be able to zoom in / out more easily, since from 3 meters away, web pages are not easily readable.
Am I using it wrong? What is the best way to navigate, change zoom level etc. with a Rii keyboard, or maybe with an IR remote (should I go that route).
If this has all been discussed in other threads, by all means point me there!
Thanks.
