Aha looks like PlexHelper was still running and was hogging the IR device. Killed that and got control back....

Would be nice not to have to copy this back in every day when I update builds.

MaestroDD Wrote:Hi Justin,
current svn has XBMCHelper included. You should see something like MultiRemote (Harmony) in Setting->System->AppleRemote. So no, the version posted here is only for 9.04.x.

BDPNA Wrote:Anyone else having an issue where the Fast Forward and the Chapter Skip buttons are both doing the same thing (a chapter skip?) Is there a fix to get the regular rewind and ff buttons to just do that function? I am using the latest keymap.xml and latest helper from this thread and the latest SVN on OSX.

By the way, I did learn that some of the buttons were actually unmapped and I could map extra buttons to the function keys and then match them up in the Harmony remote setup for the Plex player. Here's what I used, in case anyone finds it useful. (Note the function keys actually used are totally arbitrary, just line them up in the Harmony configuration to get them to work):
[snipped additional mappings]
ctawn Wrote:Also, can we expect the next official release of XBMC to include the functional helper app so we don't need to mod both the XBMC package contents and make that plist file read-only?It's in svn for quite a while already. So, yes, it'll be included in next release.
ctawn Wrote:[...]and the xbmc manual were updated to recommend setting up a harmony with the Plex config, possibly with screen shots, as when I added the Plex, the Harmony setup system didn't automatically assign the buttons.
