Apple Alu, RemoteBuddy, EyeTV rewind zurückspulen problem?

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

Hello,

I own
- the Apple Alu-Remote (14 Tasten)
- MacMini OS X 10.6.5
- RemoteBuddy 1.16.4
- EyeTV 3.4.3 with hybrid cable

My Problem: it is impossible to rewind a movie (EyeTv recorded movie or timeshift). I have to press and hold the left button on the remote some times to get the rewind action started at all. But this rewind action stops after one or two seconds again, so it is nearly impossible to rewind some minutes of a movie.
I changed the battery of the alu remote also.

Does anybody know this behaviour? Can I adjust some sensitivity or something like that?

Thank you for your help,
Alex

Hallo,

ich habe
- die Alu-FB (14 Tasten)
- MacMini OS X 10.6.5
- RemoteBuddy 1.16.4
- EyeTV 3.4.3 mit Hybrid Kabel

Mein Problem ist, dass ein Zurückspulen (Aufnahme oder Timeshift) so gut wie nicht möglich ist. Ich muss auf der Alu mehrmals nach links drücken (und halten), damit das Zurückspulen ausgelöst wird. Allerdings bricht das Zurückspulen nach sehr kurzer Zeit wieder ab. Manchmal kann ich 2 Sek. zurückspulen, manchmal nur eine Sekunde, oft muss ich mehrmals drücken, damit ein Zurückspulen überhaupt losgeht. Dann aber nur wieder sehr kurze Zeit.
Ich habe auch schon die Batterie der Alu getauscht.

Kennt das jemand? Kann man z.B. die Empfindlichkeit irgendwie erhöhen oder so etwas?

Danke für Hilfe,
Alex

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

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.
After updating to OS X 10.6.2, my Apple® Remote is no longer available for selection in Remote Buddy. (FAQ015E0236)
Please update your copy of Remote Buddy to version 1.15 or later.

Hardware - EyeTV Receiver

Which receivers are supported? (FAQ015E0211)
The latest info on hard- and software-requirements including info on support hardware can be found on the dedicated page for EyeTV receivers.

Please consider making use of the free Remote Buddy trial version to test your device for compatibility directly on your computer.
