I successfully installed Lightblue using sudo /usr/bin/python setup.py install. Downloaded the ps3_remote.py file and placed it in the scripts folder of OSXBMC. Successfully paired the PS3 remote with the Mac, but I still can't control OSXBMC with the PS3 remote.
Where did I do wrong?

Basically, this is not ready for end users because need of installing dependencies, but here it is nutshell:
1. install lightBlue with sudo /usr/bin/python setup.py install
2. Download Event Clients folder
3. Launch XBMC and run ps3_remote.py from terminal
4. press start+enter
5. Done

Could you stop fooling around? Everyone here knows already it but that's not the point. We want native way to interact with XBMC trough bluetooth and so on. RemoteBuddy is cool but we need something else for this. But yes, I would suggest everyone who doesn't want to run scripts use remote buddy. I might start working with some Preference Panel -type listener which is always present in the background, pairs automatically with PS3-remote and sends buttons to xbmc through udp.. Also this could launch xbmc with ps3-button if it's not already on and so on. I'm very busy with studies atm so dont wait for this, use python scripts or Remote Buddy.

I'm working on a PS3 remote specific keymap. I'll hopefully have something ready within a week or so.

If lightblue gets added to the distribution, it could probably be added as a tickbox in the settings somewhere to activate the remote. To cause the remote to launch xbmc would have to be a pref pane or something, but I'm thinking that xbmc could be set up to hide or minimize instead of quit, and the remote being activated could be used to restore the window and fullscreen. Of course that's beyond me. I think I may have to buy a python book.
