I choose to use the new XBMCHelper to be able to start XBMC with the menu button from OS X. This is a great new feature but there is one small problem I've encountered.
It seems like the helper steals all remote capabilities in the OS even when XBMC is not running.
I'm running EyeTV, for live TV, and when the helper is running I can't use the remote in EyeTV. I tried to kill the XBMCHelper process and after that the remote works fine in EyeTV again.
I don't know if it's possible but it would be great if you could use the remote in other apps when XBMC is not running or if you could add exceptions for apps where you want to use the remote.
