Small annoyance with Apple Remote in XBMC Menu
#1
Yesterday i bought a Mac Mini(10.7.3) just to put XBMC on it, and its truly amazing. I got everything to work but one small thing annoys me.
Whenever im browsing through the menu and i have to press down, the volume goes up and down also. Does anyone know how to turn that off?
Its a small thing i know, but it annoys me for quit a bit.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. It's an awesome application!

It is a problem since 10.7.2. No real work around outer than killing the XBMCHelper process before launching XBMC.

This happens after the computer goes to sleep. Or with me whenever the screen saver activates.

Maybe this could help?

iTunes patch won't solve the issue. The has to do with OS X recapturing control of the IR receiver after wake from sleep. The solution is to use sleepwatcher: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1002261

Does anyone know, if this problem is solved in Mounatin Lion or if there's another solution?

This is still an issue in Mountain Lion. Sleepwatcher works in Mountain Lion.

I've been using Candelair with Mountain Lion and this hasn't happened yet, neither has iTunes launched.

I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 as I want the features of ML.

Can you elaborate on what sucks?

I see Candelair fixes the remote issue.... and I don't really see what other issues there are for me. Please elaborate.

Since installing Candelair OSX has taken over the remote up and down keys only once. This includes several reboots and dozens of suspends&resumes. So it's still not perfect but pretty close.
