quick question on event clients and PPAs
#1
I was just wondering what is the proper way of running XBMC with the WiiRemote event client from a fresh PPA install? What I've been doing was compiling WiiRemote.cpp from the last SVN I downloaded and running that in a terminal and then launching XBMC. This works fine, but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some way of launching the client without compiling since I did install the xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote (not sure if thats the exact name) and I would like to avoid any conflicts.

thanks

if you use
Code:
sudo apt-get install xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote
then you can run that eventclient from xbmc-wiiremote (it is currently the exact same as the one on svn but the one on svn might update more often)

So all in all they don't interfere with eachother but for endusers the one on PPA is best. I'll probably update the readme soon for these changes
