I'm trying to set up Remote Buddy to work with EyeTV and my Apple Remote. I'm running the latest EyeTV beta 3.05b53.
I've set up short presses of the left and right keys to skip forward and back in the EyeTV behavior, and long press of the menu button to exit EyeTV and enter FrontRow. Short press of menu brings up the full screen menu in EyeTV.
Up key is mapped to channel up and down key is mapped to channel down (default EyeTV behavior is for these buttons to be mapped to volume up and volume down).
So far, two big problems:
1. when I do the long press of the menu button, the machine does exit EyeTV and start frontrow. However, the recording that was playing in EyeTV keeps on playing and I can hear the sound after frontrow launches.
The option to pause players on exit in the EyeTV behavior is checked.
2. In EyeTV, when I bring up the fullscreen menu with a short press of the menu button, the full screen menu is VERY slow to respond to the navigation commands. I think that both EyeTV and RB are responding to each key press on the remote. So, when I press the up key when full screen menu is displayed, RB seems to be sending a channel up and then FR responds to the request to move up one menu item from the remote.
Any way to map the up and down keys to channel up and channel down without interfering with EyeTV's menu navigation functionality?
I definitely have the RB kernel extension installed, and I'm running OS X 10.5.6 on a mac mini core duo 1.6GHZ.
