Thanks for asking.
Please provide more information on your setup:
- Mac model and CPU (Intel / PowerPC)
- OS X release in use
- Remote Buddy version in use
- Are you using a Sony BD Remote (as pictured on the Remote Buddy site's Hardware section) or a Sony Blue-Ray Remote (the latter is a universal remote)?
Also, with regards to physics:
Im stumped, BT is my only option as my media server is in a rack in my basement
- What is the distance between your Mac and your remote - and is there a wall or ceiling in-between?
- Can you reproduce the issue when you're in the same room as your Mac?
- Did you try with a fresh pair of batteries?
. a BT keyboard has no problems keeping sync'd up.
All BT devices belong to a certain class that specifies the range they can be used within. AFAIK the Sony BD Remote is a class 2 remote, which is specified for a range of 10 meters maximum (with a direct line of sight and nothing in-between that could weaken the signal). Your keyboard may be in a different class (f.ex. Class 1 is specified for a range of 100 meters).
Best regards,
Felix Schwarz
