IR (infrared) remote control support under Mac OS X?

I've just started reading up on xbmc, originally looking at the linux port, but then I saw the mac port info and that it will run on a mini.....

The mini is mall, and pretty and the WAF might be survivable Though to make it so, I'd have to have a 'remote' support.

So my question is, what kind of ir remote suport does XBMC have? and what do I need to get it to work?

from what I can tell, I could use a Microsoft XBOX remote, but I would also need something like this (Cable_W0QQitemZ130194077591QQihZ003QQcategoryZ122517QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem) correct?

Are there any other remotes/ir receivers that you recommend? The TV or TVs I'd be hooking these up to are both SD for now..... HD set is already being fed by an htpc running MCE and Media Portal (just working on getting that all going too)...

Thanks for any pointers/suggestions.

Apparently, I can't add a link properly

Apple remote is perfect to me guess it will work "soon"

The MCE2005 Remote works nicely and it comes with a standard usb connector on it's reciver

Does an ATI 'BOB' remote work? forgot I have one of those lieing around somewhere...

You are saying this is working natively in XBMC right now?

Remote Buddy can be used to map Apple remote (and others) button presses to keystrokes.

It's not free but there is a 30 day free trial.

Affini: Yes on Linux and Win32. I don't have a mac so I cant test there unfortunally

I'd love to know if it works on OSX.

And anyone have a USB UIRT (http://www.usbuirt.com) -- It would be great if there were drivers for this under OSX.

Well anyone who has a Keyspan Express, I just ported it for XBMC.

Works awesome.
