i plugged in a wired keyboard and that works.
Are wireless keyboards not supported?
Most wireless keyboards work fine, provided they work like normal USB keyboards with standard RF 'dongles'.
I have used several different USB keyboards, both wired and wireless, and none of these fail to work with RasPlex.
But of course it's still possible for some USB keyboard brand to be incompatible...
Bluetooth keyboards are more difficult as they require a 'pairing' procedure only possible after complete install.
This means that you must use some other remote/keyboard to reach the bluetooth configuration submenu...
Mice on the other hand are not normally supported by any PHT implementation, even on normal PC systems.
The use of a mouse in the PHT interface can only be enabled by editing a "guisettings.xml" file.
There you can change the value of the XML variable "enablemouse" from the default "false" to "true".
The full pathname of that XML file is "/storage/.plexht/userdata/guisettings.xml"
NB: I do not suggest doing this on a traditional RPi1 unit, as it decreases the GUI responsiveness.
It's different with an RPi2, which has CPU power to spare in GUI operations.
If you do enable mouse, do not expect it to work well with PHT, which was not designed for it.
Without changes to another script file you can not activate any main menu entries with mouse anyway.
That file has the pathname "/storage/.plexht/userdata/keymaps/mouse.xml".
The content of my own "mouse.xml" as used on a PC is:
Select
ContextMenu
back
doubleclick
wheeldown
wheelup
mousedrag
mousemove
Stop
Stop
Pause
PreviousMenu
PreviousPicture
NextPicture
This allows the mouse to be used effectively in all menus, but you still won't see any mouse pointer in the standard skin, nor will you be able to select main menu entries effectively even by highlight, since the main menu of the default skin was designed such that menu entries run away from the mouse most of the time, making entry selection VERY difficult. (Not so in other menus though.)
Some very few custom skins support display of a mouse pointer, and most of these can't be used on a traditional RPi1 unit as they require too much CPU power and RAM usage. But for the RPi2 you can try the "Night" skin, which is one of the few with good mouse support. (Use the 'simple menu' setting to make main menu entries stop 'running away' from the mouse pointer.)
Btw: Make sure the mouse is placed in a stable location during playback, as mouse movement will bring up the OSD popup menu, which is rather disturbing when you didn't intend it and just want to enjoy the movie.
