Re: RemoteBuddy Active from Sleep

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Hi Felix. Yes I have everything updated. I just went into RemoteBuddy and checked for updates and it states:

"Your installation is up-to-date. No new or updated components were found."

I am running the latest version of Leopard (10.5.8). I have NOT updated to Snow Leopard. I have also NOT downloaded and installed the Candelair driver. Do I need to download and install that even though I am not on Snow Leopard?

In addition, I was just able to reproduce this problem without putting the Mini to sleep. The only application that is open is EyeTV. After I checked for updates just now, I clicked the red circle X to close the RemoteBuddy dialog. At this point, EyeTV shows as the active application. Yet when I press a button on the remote, the white circle pops up and nothing happens. If I either Apple Key + Tab to EyeTV, or with a mouse select EyeTV and press a button on the remote, the appropriate action takes place. It appears RemoteBuddy is not releasing control back to EyeTV until you physically select the application.

This is the same behavior I experience when waking the Mini from sleep.

One more thing to note. I tried working around this by creating the following AppleScript to work around this issue and execute it first:

tell application "EyeTV" to activate

This has not resolved this issue.

I don't have RemoteBuddy set up to ever bring up the RemoteBuddy menu. I only use my Harmony or RemoteBuddy for that matter to control EyeTV. All other application I use a mouse and keyboard for. So I never programmed the Harmony to access the RemoteBuddy menu.
