I keep my Mini on, so I can't speak to powering up or down.
But I have been able to achieve both "Watch Plex" and "Watch iTunes" activities... The key is to map all the PS3 buttons, as shown in the walk through for Remote Buddy.
The breakthrough for me was selecting the corresponding PS3 controller buttons (the triangle, for instance) then mapping that to a button on the Harmony.. Then setting up that button as a global activity for starting Plex.
I know how you feel; I just went through this same experience. I'm not at home to check all of my settings, but I can offer more insight when I am.
Mapping an actual PS3 controller button to a Harmony button was the part that I was missing.

Hi Felix,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Can I clarify these issues.
- Does remote buddy need to be set to start-up at login, likewise PLEX / XBMC
- The set up link you directed me to doesnt include how PLEX or XBMC can be incoporated..
My remote has bluetooth and infrared capabilities.
Crucially what I am after is
Press an ACTIVITY on my universal remote e.g (watch movies) which then opens PLEX or XBMC automatically.
Will my MAC MINI have to be on 24/7..as I was hoping my remote will power on MAC MINI and PLEX/XBMC only when needed.
Any idea please.
