Issue with RC2 15b, AppleScript Actors, and Minimum delay between runs

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

I have a minor issue with RC2 15b...

What I'm seeing:

- I'm using a Keyspan Front Row Remote
- I've mapped the Eject Key to run a custom action:
I'm using one Actor within the Action - an AppleScript
The Actor setting are:
Source code:
tell application "EyeTV"
activate
set current channel to "2"
set full screen to true
set playback volume to 1.0
end tell

Execute on: Button press
Minimum delay between two runs of the script: (Checked) 3 s
- The script largely works as I'd expect it to

What I expect to see instead:

- Everything works as I expect, EXCEPT that, the 'Minimum delay' attribute of the AppleScript actor resets to the default settings if RemoteBuddy is quit and relaunched. The delay settings stick while RemoteBuddy is running. They only seem to reset to {Unchecked, 0.05 s} if RemoteBuddy quits.

Final note: I love RemoteBuddy!

Configuration

How do I add a new action to a Behaviour - f.ex. an emulated key press or AppleScript? (FAQ015E0153)
1) Open the Remote Buddy Preferences via the pulldown-menu and choose "Mapping".
2) Choose the mapping you want to modify.
3) Select "Custom actions" for the button you want to map to an action of your own.
4) Create the action you need using the appearing editor.

Hardware - Apple® Remote

After uninstalling/quitting Remote Buddy, my Mac® no longer reacts to the Apple® Remote. (FAQ015E0241)
To enable you to use all capabilities of the IR Receiver of your Mac®, Remote Buddy is using its own driver. In contrast, all other applications with integrated Apple® Remote support usually use the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

As long as you're running Remote Buddy, Remote Buddy and its driver are responsible for turning the received button presses into actions. As soon as you quit Remote Buddy, this task is again handled by the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

If other applications don't use the interface to the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem correctly, this can lead to the effect that nothing happens when you press a button on your Apple® Remote. For as long as you're running Remote Buddy, issues like this are covered by Remote Buddy and it's driver and are therefore not visible to you. However, as soon as you quit Remote Buddy, the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem is back in control and any issues caused in it by other applications become visible.

Therefore Remote Buddy is neither the cause of the issue nor is it responsible for it. Instead, the cause of the issue exists independently of Remote Buddy. It's located elsewhere and can also only be solved there.

Although our products can't cause any such issues, we're regularly contacted about such issues and asked for help. In order to make locating and fixing the cause of such issues as easy and efficient as possible, we've developed a free diagnostics tool: Remote Control Diagnostics. It can locate issues with a single click and will provide you with information about the issue as well as with instructions on how you can fix it.
After updating to OS X 10.6.2, my Apple® Remote is no longer available for selection in Remote Buddy. (FAQ015E0236)
Please update your copy of Remote Buddy to version 1.15 or later.

Hardware - EyeTV Receiver

Which receivers are supported? (FAQ015E0211)
The latest info on hard- and software-requirements including info on support hardware can be found on the dedicated page for EyeTV receivers.

Please consider making use of the free Remote Buddy trial version to test your device for compatibility directly on your computer.
