Hi Jeff, Thanks for looking into the keyboard support. Paul mentioned that there's a gpio-keys driver in 'post #14 of this thread' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109686-controlling-jivelite-with-piCorePlayer-with-bash-script&p=925222&viewfull=1#post925222). Which could remove the need for a keyboard device. I just haven't had time to investigate it. The original keyboard code in framebuffer-vncserver doesn't support all key events so it still needs to be updated.

The keyboard support still doesn't work very well but the touch and mouse inputs have been fine, however the mouse wheel can't be used with jivelite.

I could make use of seeing what's on the RPi monitor using VNCviewer and using mouse clicks if needed. Configuration work and input would be done via the web interface. Thanks.

[slim] VNC for piCoreplayer?
I'm putting together a piCoreplayer system on a RPi 3B+ with the Pi 7 inch screen for my parents who live 500 miles away. I've got them set-up with VNC for remote support and this will let me use a browser for piCoreplayer and LMS control, but is there any way to see what's on the piCoreplayer screen? VNC or any other way to share the RPi screen? This would be great for when they pressed something and don't understand what happened.
