Hi All
I am having some very frustrating Suspend/Sleep Issues with my Mac Mini and XBMC
Before i bore you with the details I wanted to confirm the correct action for my custom key map
Here is what I have:
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<f4>XBMC.Suspend()</f4>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>
Should XBMC.Suspend() do the job?
thanks

Thank artrafael. I have deliberately not bombarded the post with more information until I can confirm a few more things but yes the suspend from XBMC shutdown menu does work and the suspend in the keymaps also works. The problem is intermittent and I am trying to establish if its Harmony remote or XBMC/OSX related. I will report back asap after a bit more testing and a log
thanks!

Seems more like an overall suspend/sleep issue with OSX and XBMC than it does keymapping or your Harmony remote. I don't know anything about Macs, so I'll have to defer to others. In the meantime, you may want to use the SEARCH function on this subforum (Mac OS X Support) for the terms "suspend" or "sleep". There are a number of threads dealing with various Suspend/Sleep issues and there may be something there that may help you.

pull the flirc and see if suspend from the menu works reliable then. Might be the usb activity that wakes it up or prevents it from sleep at all.
Log tells me - Sleep is initialised and osx wakes up some secs later (no clue what woke it up - this is out of scope of xbmc).

Flirc sometimes records "phantom" signals from random light sources, which should show up as a key press like all Flirc input.
I would check out the
http://flirc.tv forums. They have a beta firmware that will help filter the phantom IR signals.

Thanks Ned. I had a look there this morning and noticed a few threads on phantom signals. My Flirc is right next to a LAN port on a NAS which is obviously always blinking. Also I installed the latest beta firmware on it so maybe more wise to roll back to an official release.
I will let you know.

Well it definitely looks like it its FLIRC related. I took the IR receiver out and tested suspend and everything worked fine. I then plugged in a standard keyboard and my suspend custom key map and that worked fine. then plugged FLIRC back in and the fun began again. I am going to burrow another computer to test this with just out of curiosity and report back but will also head over to the FLIRC forums too see what they say.
Thanks for your input guys
