Effective with version 0.1.4 we now have native remote support for the Apple remote.
For me this is not working, or I don't know where / how to enable it. Does anyone else have any experience with this working or now and how did you get there.
Thanks much.

Thanks for listing your version number. It should "just work" if you have a Mac with an Apple Remote.

jeremymc7,
Does your remote to open Front Row and control that? I have the same issue with my remote not working on my MBP but I figured it's my MBP since I install OSXBMC on my Mac Mini and it works fine.

Now I want to try getting the Sony Blueray remote to work. The Apple remote is cool and basic, but having to use button combinations isn't going to work for everyone else in the house.
The Keyspan express looked like a quality second choice with a few more dedicated buttons, while still being pretty simple. But overall it's a couple buttons short of full control.
The Sony remote will control everything basic in XBMC plus more. The remote may be to busy for the rest of the household though.
In the end I may just have to get the Keyspan Express and the Sony Blueray remote and just try both. If the keyspan only had a couple more buttons it would be perfect. Oh well.

Yeah, I still need to find the time to map my apple remote buttons to my Harmony 880 and Harmony 550 remotes. I'm going to attempt to learn the IR commands from my apple remote to the Harmony and see what happens.

I had quite a bit of luck getting a wireless 360 controller working last night. Still some issues but it felt GREAT.
