Usage

Keys:

Q - run 1/4 screen in X11 window

M - main menu

S - search (edit existing txt)

N - new search

J - (uppercase) test joystick (useful for configuring JS) 

j - (lowercase) joystick/keyboard/mouse menu (input menu)

cursor down - next record

cursor up - prev record

cursor right- get next # results

cursor left- get prev # results

ESC - exit screen/program

The following are also available from the menu:

C - category menu

F - set youtube-dl format
	
G - GUI Menu 

P - toggle between OMXPlayer and MPlayer 

H - toggle between HDMI/Local audio output

j - joystick/keyboard/mouse menu (input menu)

I - more information on selected record

X - toggle between software (libjpeg) and hardware (OMX) jpeg decoding.

Notes

	* OMX-jpg & gfx data broken out into seperate static libs (see updated compile instructions)
	
	* you need 64MB VRAM to run this program.

	* MPlayer if you switch to windowed mode.  

	* Added mouse support.

	* Added support to run in X11 window!

This application can now run in a X11 window. The app is not really

running in X11 window, but it is a clever illusion. How I accomplish

this is I create a dummy X11 window, track the movement of that window

on the desktop then uses "vc_dispmanx_element_change_attributes" of

the VC output to match. This has the added benefit of being able to

take input focus and capture X11 input such as mouse move/enter events

and keypresses. Apparently it is very expensive to call XGetWindowAttributes

and XGetGeometry (that is actually how MC Hammer went broke), so I only

do so periodically which is why you'll notice a slight lag when you move

the window (before the VC window catches up). This is also why the window

is always front-most. To switch to XWindows mode, There is an invisible

"button" on right-topmost position to toggle on the screen or the "q"

key (for quarter-screen). Repeat to return.
