Hi,
I have been having a weird problem lately with the Apple Remote: it does not work at all with XBMC (it does not even start when I press the "Menu" button and if I start XBMC with the mouse it still does not respond to commands). The only way I have found to make it work again is to disable it in the "Input devices" section in the settings, then exit XBMC and finally start it again and re-enable the remote. But obviously this is not a good work-around as it requires using the mouse or the keyboard and restarting XBMC every time.
This all leads me to think there's a glitch in one of the configuration files - it just does not seem to remember the pairing with the remote. I've tried reinstalling XBMC and using a different skin, but that didn´t solve anything.
I am using OS X Lion, XBMC 10.1.
Does anyone have any idea how this can be fixed? Thanks in advance.
Edit: When XBMC does not respond to remote key presses, the usual key mappings for the remote are active - global volume up/down, play/pause in iTunes, etc.
