Remote Buddy and Justlook

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

Hi!

I've placed cover images to my movie database in every folder and I dont want to re-organize it to Movie Library because of two reasons. The first one is that we're talking about around seven hundred movies (that would take a while), and the second reason that the cover preview image in the Movie Library is too small (I'm looking it in a LCD tv).
So I looked up a free, simple image listener, with full screen slide-show, and everything. It's really great, but I can not close it through Remote buddy because the program is not supported.
Is there a chance for making support for this program in the near future? Just for the basic functions like close, full-screen, step left-right.
I apologize for my bad english.

Thanks for reply,

Daniel

These entries from the FAQ may be relevant to this topic:

Behaviours

Can I also add DivX/AVI/MOV files to the built-in movie library and not just VIDEO_TS folders? (FAQ015E0200)
Yes. All you need to do is to install VLC and organize your files in a given folder structure. It's also possible to add covers then. If, for example, you want to add the file MyMovie.avi, the folder structure should look like this:
```
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie.avi
Title of my movie/File with Cover.jpg
```
You can add movies that are split up into several files the same way. The folder structure then looks like this:
```
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 1.avi
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 2.avi
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 3.avi
Title of my movie/File with Cover.jpg
```
The names of the movie- and coverfiles are freely choosable - you only need to make sure the suffix fits the format of the file. Supported formats for cover files include JPEG, PNG and GIF.

In Remote Buddy's menu, you can then start playback of your movies complete with existing covers in the context menu of the VLC Behaviour.

Hardware - Apple® Remote

After uninstalling/quitting Remote Buddy, my Mac® no longer reacts to the Apple® Remote. (FAQ015E0241)
To enable you to use all capabilities of the IR Receiver of your Mac®, Remote Buddy is using its own driver. In contrast, all other applications with integrated Apple® Remote support usually use the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

As long as you're running Remote Buddy, Remote Buddy and its driver are responsible for turning the received button presses into actions. As soon as you quit Remote Buddy, this task is again handled by the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

If other applications don't use the interface to the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem correctly, this can lead to the effect that nothing happens when you press a button on your Apple® Remote. For as long as you're running Remote Buddy, issues like this are covered by Remote Buddy and it's driver and are therefore not visible to you. However, as soon as you quit Remote Buddy, the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem is back in control and any issues caused in it by other applications become visible.

Therefore Remote Buddy is neither the cause of the issue nor is it responsible for it. Instead, the cause of the issue exists independently of Remote Buddy. It's located elsewhere and can also only be solved there.

Although our products can't cause any such issues, we're regularly contacted about such issues and asked for help. In order to make locating and fixing the cause of such issues as easy and efficient as possible, we've developed a free diagnostics tool: Remote Control Diagnostics. It can locate issues with a single click and will provide you with information about the issue as well as with instructions on how you can fix it.

Hi Daniel,
creating a new/own behaviour is really simple with Remote Buddys "Behaviour Construktion Kit" if the application, in your case justlook, supports keyboardcommands.
just add some actions you want to execute in the "Action Factory" and assing the according keystrokes under "Implementation".
then make a new behaviour in the "Behaviour Factory".
drag the application (justlook) on the "Bundle Identifier",
rename the identifier further down under Metadata to something you like. in the next tab add the actions you created before.
in the last tab you assign the actions to the buttons of the remote.
you can also assign an "command & q" keystroke to "on deactivation", which would close the application if you switch to another behaviour on the Bemote Buddy menu.
finally you just have to compile/testdrive/install the bahiviour by clickin the little wheel icon next to "+ -".
thats it. the behaviour should now be available in Preferences.
hope that helps
