Yeh, I know this is dirty hack.
Yeh, I know this is ugly.
Yeh, I know this is unfinished in all ways.
Yeh, I know this is not customizeable in any way.
Yeh, I know this might crash.
Okay, someone asked for this in blog's comments. This is about my first cocoa/obj-c apps so it is ugly and poorly made and full of things that are not implemented.
So this is small app which connects to PS3 BD remote via Bluetooth and binds buttons to keyboard presses and that way is able to control XBMC. No, keys are not rebindable yet. No, it doesnt support long presses yet.
Usage:
Start ps3remote.app
Press enter and start simoltaneously and click connect, keep pressing enter and start until connect.
If it gets connection, it should work, just start XBMC and start using it. If it didn't, try again.
UI hides itself when not in focus (click from dock to see it again)
Keys binded. Arrows, enter, back, return, play, stop, scanfwd, scanrew, stepfwd and steprew. Works with default keymap.xml.
As I said, I'm cocoa newb so development will be slow. Next goal is to get long presses working. Sourcecode will come when I have cleaned it up. Then later maybe implement this straight to XBMC but there is not
Nothing more to say, I hope this will be usefull to someone (I doubt that)
