Apple Remote keys mapping - pecinko - 2011-09-04

I started to use Mac mini as HTPC recently and love it so far.

I have a question about button mapping of Apple silver remote.

While playing movies, I can use play/pause to do well play/pause actions. However, this seams to be duplicated with select button short press. Is there a reason for this duplication?

I would suggest short select for OSD and long select for movie info with this reasoning:

- short press select is more intuitive for OSD
- long press select mapped to DialogFullscreenInfo.xml is maybe more logical as the same action opens up DialogVideoInfo.xml when you are in a list

Makes sense?

I think select button on silver remote shares the same code for select on white apple remote, white doesnt have play/pause button so removing it on silver will make it unusable.

Had not thought of that...

Well if we are unable to tell which one is being used, I guess we'll have to wait for the white ones to become obsolete.
