This is something I've noticed lately, but I'm not sure how long it's been happening as it's tricky to reproduce:
- Successfully compile XBMC from SVN
- Press Menu on the Apple remote - XBMC launches from the /release folder, but the remote wont work to navigate the interface.
- Navigate to settings/system/remote, turn Always on to OFF - XBMC crashes to desktop.
- Press Menu key on remote - nothing happens
- Launch XBMC manually - remote still not working.
- Navigate to Settings/System/Remote, toggle Always On to ON - now everything works fine.
Repeat from Step 2. Basically, if I start XBMC by pressing the Menu key on my remote (thus using XBMChelper I'm guessing) it launches fine but breaks the remote. To fix it, I have to toggle the remote's Always On property to off, which instantly crashes XBMC, then to on again (after relaunching) for the remote to resume working for navigation.
Incidentally, how the hell do I tell XBMCHelper to launch from /Applications instead of the xbmc/build/release folder?
Thanks in advance for any help.
