Description

The autokiosk system is playing audio with rather low volume. If a keyboard were connected then the arrow up/down keys could be used to adjust the volume of the video playback. Support for this is already in videofe for touchscreens. It just needs to be extended to support keyboards.

If this works then all touchscreen features can be extended to keyboards because most, if not all, of them are simply system calls to the dbuscontrol.sh script.

Note: This may already work because key presses on non-kiosk playback already handles fast-forward and next-video even though those keypress evevents are not handled by key_press() in videofe.c. Try "+" for volume up and - for volume down.
