Hi guys, new user here. Just installed Atlantis Beta 1 and my Apple Remote still doesn't work properly with this beta i.e. play/pause, stop etc during fileplay. Am I missing something or is this still a bug?

Actually, I should clarify my situation. I'm using a Logitech Harmony universal remote that has an Apple Remote programmed into it. Is there a better remote setup to use with XBMC and my Mac?

I'll try to explain a little better:
I have a Harmony 785 but don't have an Apple Remote. However, my Harmony has been set up to mimic the Apple Remote. I've also followed all the instructions to set up an XBMC activity for the Harmony with sequences etc based on the Apple Remote functions.
My problem is that regardless of what I do, my Harmony will either activate Front Row or not operate in XBMC. However, I did notice that when I execute the XBMC app, there's a comment in terminal that says "Apple Infrared Remote not found". I'm new to Macs but am very computer literate so I'm a quick learner......however, this remote business is baffling me.
I've paired the Logitech (mimicing the Apple Remote) with my MacBook so I'd have thought that all should be good. I'm wondering if my problem has something to do with the XBMC helper thingy?

Ok, just installed Plex and the remote works perfectly. I also checked the Activity Monitor and PlexHelper is running in the background. I then ran XBMC and the XBMCHelper doesn't run at all. So I executed the XBMCHelper on its own and below are the terminal results:
/Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/XBMCHelper ; exit;
XBOX360: Registering for notifications.
Apple Infrared Remote not found.
logout

Does the issue persist if PlexHelper is not running? Only one application can hold an exclusive lock on the IR controller.

/Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/XBMCHelper -v
for debug info
only one (XBMCHelper or PlexHelper) can be running at the same time.

Was just making another attempt to get Sofa Control running to start XBMC.
1) Unfortunately, I dont get it to run. (it appears to only support Plex)
2) And (even worse) when Sofa Control is installed, the remote support of XBMC doesnt work either.
Any thoughts?! Thanks!!!

Thought I'd also post the terminal data for when I start XBMC......some interesting messages there......
