Installation

1. Install pointer-event
2. Save the touch-gestures.lua into your scripts directory
3. Save the pointer-event.conf into your script-opts directory (next to the scripts directory, create if it doesn't exist)
4. (optional) Create a touch-gestures.conf in your script-opts directory to choose between seeking and changing playlist item when swiping horizontally.

horizontal_drag=seek
or
horizontal_drag=playlist

The preconfigured margin_* values in pointer-event.conf work well with the default configuration of uosc.
