Snow Leopard + Apple Remote.
#1
Evening,

- Platform: Mac OS X. Built on Apr 3 2009 (SVN:19197M) -

I've checked the forums trying to find a way to get my apple remote to work with snow leopard without much luck. The information that I've found seems to be outdates (at least as paths is concerned).

I've tried multiple steps already, ran XBMCHelper --verbose with the following result
Code:
XBOX360: Registering for notifications.

As you can see after the "universal mode off" it is actually registering the keys. I am not sure why it is saying "uninitializing apple remote"

Following the instructions on http://xbmc.org/davilla/2009/10/23/ir-re...w-leopard/ I installed Calendair without any luck.

I found multiple posts refering to Keymap.xml in the UserData directory. I know OSX is case sensitive and I do not have UserData.

Code:
madrid:XBMC telmo$ pwd

I also found references to joystick.AppleRemote.xml that is to be in the system/keymaps directory, which doesn't exists for me all I have is a Keymaps.xml in /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system/
I went and downloaded the joystick.AppleRemote.xml as Keymaps.xml in my userdata directory but that didn't work. I got the file from http://trac.xbmc.org/browser/trunk/syste...Remote.xml

There are no errors in xbmc.log refering to the keymaps or the remote.
Code:
madrid:Logs telmo$ grep -i keymap xbmc.log

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Sure would be nice to know which version of 10.6 your are having problems under. See Calendair, something about compatibility mode for 10.6.3

Mac OS X Server - 10.6.3.

I'll check the compatibility issues you are referring to.

enabling the compatibility mode in Calendair fixed the issue, thanks a lot for the pointer.
