Re: Remote Buddy does not control Plex correctly after EyeTV restart

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
 
1) Which versions of EyeTV and Plex are you using?

 
EyeTV 3.5.3 (Build 6747) 
Plex 0.9.3.4

2) What do you mean with "Remote Buddy no longer sends commands correctly to Plex.". Please describe in this form: 
a) Actions you take

 
pressing the down arrow

b) The result you expect

 
cursor moves down the list in Plex

c) The result you actually get

 
system volume decreases

3) The Apple Remote (as well as any button presses emulated by the Virtual Remote) is a global resource - and its input will - in the case of EyeTV and Plex - be received by the app that currently has focus / is the active one. Which app receives such events lies within the responsibility of the apps involved - Remote Buddy has no mechanism to influence this. So if your problem is about which app receives Virtual Remote events, I'm afraid there's nothing Remote Buddy can do about it.

 
I am changing to Plex via the Remote Buddy change behaviour command (mapped to a remote control button). Is there something I should check to ensure that this is working correctly?

You may, however, be able to get Plex to receive all input from the Apple Remote / Virtual Remote by setting Plex > Preferences >"Input Devices" > "Always Running" to "On".

 
I'm pretty sure that changing that setting will prevent Remote Buddy from being able to receive EyeTV commands... is that the case?

Just a small thing which may help, I just checked and it drops out when EyeTV is *closed*.
