Hi Maestro,

im using Babylon RC1, and I thinked support for harmony is bundled but same to be not.

So,

I configure my Harmony with the Plex Player Device
I changed XBMCHelper with yours in quote (but the location for me is XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC)
I added your Keymap.xml in my userdata
I using standard for apple remote in my settings of xbmc

Code:
$ ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/XBMC/
RB        plugins        scripts        sounds        userdata
XBMCHelper.conf    screensavers    skin        system        visualisations

Code:
$ cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/XBMC/XBMCHelper.conf
--timeout 500

Code:
$ ls ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
com.apple.SafariBookmarksSyncer.plist

Code:
$ cat ls ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.xbmc.helper.plist
cat: ls: No such file or directory
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>

    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

But any key didn't work... suggestion?

1) Keymap.xml was messed up, thus the right<->left swap
2) reverted some untested changes from commit before :/

Links: Keymap.xml and XBMCHelper.

sorry for the trouble!

cheers,

Hi,

few things propably mixed up, see comments below:

not sure about this one. Where did you install XBMC to (aka, where did you drop the XBMC.app-bundle)?

Please make sure you're using RC1 (check xbmc.log from ~/Library/Logs/xbmc.log, or open the shutdown menu in PM3.HD, hit Info and check the version there)

here's something messed up, first org.xbmc.helper.plist wasn't present, later it's there?!
Anyways, don't mind the LaunchAgent file for now (btw it looks like it's again not from RC1). It's only there if you have enabled "Always On" for AppleRemote in XBMC and it starts XBMCHelper on boot, rather when you launch XBMC.


Please make sure you're running RC1 first, post xbmc.log to pastebin and link here.

cheers,

It's sorry this is the full path

Im really sure I downloaded it from here http://sourceforge.net/project/downloadi...on-RC1.dmg

And my pastebin for log is here: http://pastebin.com/m7865c5f

Quote:here's something messed up, first org.xbmc.helper.plist wasn't present, later it's there?!

Yes I enabled (sorry) after "ls" the always on options, so after do that the launcher will be created.

output looks good.

you can try to manually start the helper, and check if it sees your Harmony. Maybe something during Harmony's configuration went wrong.
In terminal do:
Code:
/Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/tools/osx/XBMCHelper -v
and hit some buttons.

ooops, forgot something. Access to IR is exclusive, so make sure no other instance of XBMCHelper/Plex's helper is running

Hi!

I installed plex for verify that my harmony work.

First problem (I suggest to insert in the main post) is that my mac have pair with only one remote apple, so in preference -> securety I need to disable it.

Now, plex work but xbmc not.

I killed XBMCHelper and PlexHelper and:

Code:
$ /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/tools/osx/XBMCHelper -v

looks good. Still nothing in XBMC?
may want to check system.log (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app -> LOG FILES -> system.log) and see if XBMCHelper starts up.
Other things:
-EventServer enabled?
-AppleRemote set to Standard?

you'll need to set AppleRemote to "Always On", then it should launch XBMC instead of FrontRow.
