I am using XBMC Atlantis 8.1 BF1 on an Intel Mac Mini (1.83GHz) as well as the latest version on an Apple TV. The Apple TV version works great and its remote is functioning perfectly. Unfortunately the version on the Mini has problems with the Apple Remote (I've tried several Apple remotes so it's not a defective remote or low battery issue).
The main problem is that XBMC won't start from the remote (by pressing menu). The helper is running and there are no other helpers running for remote operations. It just doesn't do anything. In fact, Front Row will start though not always. I have the running always going so it should work. It did a while back but I've been away from xbmc on the mini for a bit (prefer the Apple TV but perhaps that was a novelty!).
Anyway, is there something obvious I might be overlooking? I thought this issue was sorted out quite some time ago.
A minor issue is that + on the Apple TV version increases the volume while on the Mini version is skips ahead in the video. Isthere a simple way to get the remotes working the same on both (I prefer +/- handling the volume).
Thank's,
