Hello everyone,

I've an issue to make my Harmony 1100 works with Camelot. I'm using a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I've properly choosed Multi remote (Harmony) from XBMC but, still, it refuses to work.

In the log, each time I strike a button on my remote (properly configured with the "PlexPlayer" profile), I've this :

ERROR: ES: Could not map MCUR : Down to a key

"Down" is because I use the down button.

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help ! XBMC is the best one, definitely ;-)

More information: previously, I had PLEX installed on my system. Can it be possible that I've now this strange behavior because I had PLEX installed before ? I've uninstalled it by placing the icon in the trash... but maybe there is more to clean in order not to interfere with XBMC ?

I'm quite lost... and hope I'll not have to reinstall a clean system ! I've tried some other things on my iMac and I've exactly the same situation... Either the remote is not took into consideration, or I've this error message.

Can someone help me ? I really don't want to go back to plex :-(

Thanks a lot,

Alexandre

if plexhelper is running, it will confuse everything. also running plex will kill xbmchelper, bad, bad plex.

Of course, that is why I completely uninstalled PLEX, no plexhelper is running.

Still, I don't know why the remote is not properly handled.

sounds like a Harmony keymap problem, there's a few other threads about Harmony keymap issues.

"Down" is because I use the down button.

Hm, this pretty much sounds like PlexHelper is still running (XBMCHelper does not send "Down" events, we're still stuck with button IDs).

open up a terminal and do:

Code:

ps aux | grep -i plex

might want to post the output here.
If there's PlexHelper running even after reboot, you'll need to find the plist that launches it.

You are good Man, even if I had no doubt at all ;-)))

This f*****g process is still there !!! Since I was in my past a Windows guy, I'm not yet quite used to all tips & tricks under OSX. What is the best way to find this plist and modify it ?

Thanks again... Maybe I'll finally be able to solve my issue after all !

quick googling for plexhelper and plist brought ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.plexapp.helper.plist up, so

Code:

rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.plexapp.helper.plist

should remove it from autostart.
