I have set up my Harmony One according to the instructions at the beginning of this thread and all is fine, thank you, except...
When I select the XBMC activity on the Harmony, my TV switches on but Front Row is launched on it instead of XBMC. I would prefer that no application is launched and I started XBMC from my Mac and quit from within the program.
Is this possible please?

I think you can achieve what you want using the Plex setup. Also, in XBMC settings I believe that there is something that allows you to launch XBMC from the remote(not sure)

I assume there is some little setting I have wrong but this is driving me round the bend! I have played with all the settings I can find both in XBMC and Harmony but it still insists on launching Front Row.
I have set the Harmony to leave Plex on all the time, yet it still insists I tell it which button I use to turn it on and off!
Any other suggestions gratefully received.

Depending on how long you've had your remote, you can get phone help from Harmony, maybe they can create a macro for you. They have helped me a lot in the past.

Hi guys,
Great thread - but I'm at a loss! I have a Harmony 525, OSX 10.6 and XBMC 10.1. I've attempted to follow the instructions, but it insists on starting front row and the up/down buttons control the volume. Here's how I have it:
- unpaired the apple remote
- set XBMC set to Multi Remote (Harmony) & Remote control send keyboard presses set to false
- set up Plex player on the 525
Any ideas?
Cheers.
PS I'm a bit of a Mac noob.

Aha! Did a software update on the Mac and it's sweet now. Love XMBC!

On an OSX Mini running 10.6.8 and XBMC 10.1 I followed the original instructions and the Harmony remote generating plex IR codes only partially works, most buttons repeated navigation commands. I double checked Keycode.xml files, etc.
After going through the rest of the details and trying a few things I installed Candelair and things started working perfectly. Thanks!
