I'm on a latest revision MacBook running Leopard. I did a clean install of 0.5.0b1 after deleting the Application Support/XBMC folder. In the settings I enabled the Apple Remote ("Standard") and turned on the Always On function. The remote didn't work.
I upgraded to 0.5.0b2 and did another clean install but still no luck. I get no response from XBMC when I use the remote. When I press up/down, I can hear the volume going up and down, so the remote seems to be passing-through to OS X and XBMC isn't intercepting the commands.
Any suggestions?

From what I know the new AppleRemote is an EventClient which is called XBMCHelper, this must always be running, but I'm not using OSX so the install might take care of that setup, if that is the case then ignore me

I just checked Activity Monitor to make sure XBMCHelper is running, and it is, even when XBMC isn't. I'm so confused because this should be working.

Could you please post a debug log on http://www.pastebin.ca aswell (then we can see if there is anything wrong inbetween XBMC and XBMCHelper) it should be in /var/logs/xbmc.log IIRC.

Have you ever used RemoteBuddy ? I read something just the other day about someone not being able to get their remote to work with xbmc. They had at one time used remote buddy and didnt fully uninstall it. This gave them problems like you are describing.

Make sure your ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC/UserData/Keymap.xml has references to:
<joystick name="Apple Remote"> |

I tried your fix, reinstalling it and then uninstalling the driver via the Setup Wizard, and then uninstalling Remote Buddy via AppCleaner. Still no luck. I looked up instructions on how to manually delete the Remote Buddy driver and did that, and XBMC still doesn't work. I guess it has to be related to Remote Buddy, but I'm not sure what remnant of the software I haven't deleted that's causing the problem. |
