XBMCbuntu on Mac mini - Tinken - 2013-07-30 Hi all, I have an old Mac mini ( around 2006-2007 ). I remove Mac OS and setup XBMCbuntu Frodo. But I have some issues:
For he remote I have no idea how fixing this... On many forums the says IR is native on XBMC (I mean no extra package) but nothing happend. For the bluetooth, the wired thing is , the magic mouse is working (BT connection) but in sys pref in XBMCbuntu bluetooth tab is grey as if there was no bluetooth package. Do I need to setup an extra thing ? Maybe after this, the keyboard should work... Thanks for your help or tips -Tinken RE: XBMCbuntu on Mac mini - Tinken - 2013-08-04 anyone can give me a clue ? Thanks a lot..

IIRC, it should support Apple remote. RE: XBMCbuntu on Mac mini - el_Salmon - 2013-12-03 (2013-12-03, 09:45)pecinko Wrote: I wonder if Openelec would support this out of the box. IIRC, it should support Apple remote.Yes, OpenElec has support for Apple remote controllers and receivers since 3.0, but it's using atvclient, not lirc. I will try it... Update: yes, atvclient works like a charm. It replaces lirc and no Lircmap.xml is needed. |
