Actually I'm starting at square 1 - trying to get a Logitech universal remote working the first time. I've found lots of info on xbmc forums and elsewhere, usually contradictory and not matching what I see in my system and xbmc.
I'm currently trying to get it going with a MacBook Pro, but will be switching to a Mac Mini. Both do have IR receivers. In OSX settings, there is no paired remote.
I followed advice in this old thread to use the Logitech Plex Player profile for the remote. That's done. I did not do all the button mapping because as much as I can understand the thread, it seems all that should be handled by XBMC now. But it doesn't work. Only when I switch 'activities' on the remote does XBMC switch to some random screen or setting. Otherwise no buttons do anything.
So in XBMC, System > Settings > System > Input devices, there is a setting for Apple Remote - Standard or Disabled. In that thread it says that should be set to "Multi-Remote - no such choice. Then there is "Remote Control Sends Keyboard Presses" - yes or no. Again I just don't know what to put there.
Thanks for any advice.
