TvOut on the Archos 101

---

Picked up an HDMI cable to try tvout. When I tap on the tvout widget the video and sound gets piped out to the tv fine. A dialog pops asking to hit ok or cancel with a 15 second countdown. A mouse pointer appears on the screen when touching the screen but I unable to double click to keep it from resetting. How do I double click when in tvout mode?
Thanks in advance.

Double tap the screen? i assume the screen on the archos works as a large laptop trackpad when video is being output to a tv screen

Tried that. No go. Quick update: Read a post on the Archos Fan forum and people reported the same issue. They basically said you have to do it very carefully. I'll give it another try tonight.

okay please share with us your results , i did encounter a bug whilst testing this on the archos 43 with the latest firmware, i plugged it into my tv via hdmi and it timed out like you said, so i went to system monitor and ended all tasks plugged it in again and my archos displayed the french flag on my screen (no kidding!) at this point i was very confused, i removed the hdmi and plugged it in again and this time it worked and it didnt prompt me to click ok (no timeout) any ideas why my archos decided to do any of these things? not that it matters but i just found it rather odd, thanks oh and sorry for using your thread friend

I was able to get it to work after reading the same post. Your Archos becomes a giant trackpad that is in sync with your TV so you have to touch it in the right place to represent the button on the screen to okay the TV out. It worked for me but the trackpad usage sucks.

Better connect usb mouse and keyboard... still not optimal (clone view would be best), but much better use than guessing where to tap on the archos screen.
