Hi André,
Yeah, I mean in paper. I know this will not be your priority now, no
problem, I just wanted to let you know that it could be useful
sometimes :-)
Added this to the ToDo list. Don't expect this feature still this
year, though ;-)
Ok. First, take a look at this picture:
http://token.no-ip.com:8000/~andre/rb/ps3-bd-remote.jpg
This is my remote. As you can see, I have a different order in the
buttons: Red, Green, Blue and Yellow. I am pretty sure this is a
original sony product. Maybe there are two versions out there? The
funny thing, as I wrote above, is that in some places you can think
about the button position and ignore the color, but sometimes it's
the color that matters. Please let me know what I can do to help you
map what are the exact codes sent by my remote so you can make a
config option to choose between both. Please also check if there are
any other button in different places.
Now that's funny! ;-)
We definately have two different versions then. Do you have a serial
number sticker above the batteries in their compartment? If so, would
you mind to share - I'm just curious whether this change happened
before or after I bought my BD Remote.
Do actions you mapped to the yellow button in the UI also get executed
when you press the yellow button on *your* remote (i.e. the rightmost)
- or does it only get executed when you press the blue button on your
remote (i.e. the second colored button from right)?
Have you confirmed the scan-right key problem?
Sorry if I'm too forgetful and I ask you to repeat yourself, but: what
do you mean by that?
Did you select "Hold left button" or "Left double click" for the
button? The red circle is drawn by the Mousespot feature and
indicates
that the left mouse button is currently pressed.
I'm sure I chose the "Left double click". I mapped the ENTER, X,
triangle, box and circle to be each one of (respectively): click,
scroll on/off, double-click, click-and-hold and right-click. The
only one that does not work as expected is double-click.
Ok, I'll look into it.
Yeah, I'm not surprised it is reacting to the apple remote itself.
What I find strange is it is not reacting the specific quicktime
functions, while still reacting to apple remote.
I'm not at home now, but I re-installed MacOS X on the week-end
(Intel, OS X 10.4.10 original DVDs) and aplied the offered updates.
Did not install anything expect players (mplayer/vlc/etc) and remote
buddy.
If you still need the version, I can get it later when I'm home.
I can't reproduce this on either OS X 10.4.8, 10.4.10 or 10.5. Maybe
your Launch Services database is not complete. Please try running
LSRefresh (find it in the blog) on QuickTime Player.app.
I mapped the DISPLAY key in PS3 remote to "Go Fullscreen" in all the
applications that have support for it. Mplayer and VLC both have
support for fullscreen. I tested each one separately, like this:
- press RB menu
- go to menu FILES
- navigate to the movies dir
- press enter on a movie
- choose to open it with mplayer
- mplayer opens and comes to front
- press the DISPLAY (fullscreen) key on remote
- it goes fullscreen but the menu bar stays visible
Close mplayer, repeat from start using VLC this time, the result
will be the same.
I tried with both VLC 0.8.6b and 0.8.6c under 10.4.10 and could not
reproduce this. When you select the content for playback: does any VLC
error log window pop up? It might prevent the video window from
getting the focus within VLC, which can lead to the effect you describe.
Best regards,
Felix
