Greetings to all.
There were some problems with my setup from the start.
From Leopard and after sometimes the remote didn't work in some programs and sometimes worked fine.
After 10.7.2 and now 10.7.3 situation got worse. I can choose from the remote buddy menu either EYETV or XBMC and the moment the program runs the remote goes dead! The only thing i can do is to use my iphone with the AJAX remote or screen sharing to the mini mac from my laptop to have control.
My setup,
Mini Mac 1,83 / 2Gb Ram / SSD hard disk / eyetv DTT tuner.
No little snitch, no firewall, no other software for antivirus/firewall.
Default behaviours for Eyetv, XBMC and Dvd player.
Five programs menu, Eyetv-XBMC-Dvd player app-virtual mouse-virtual keyboard (with that order).
Remote buddy works fine with Dvd player app, play/fw/rw/eject etc.
Also works fine with virtual mouse/keyboard but only with standard programs of OSX ie Safari, if i run Eyetv or XBMC nothing works.
I have tried two different Apple white remotes and one silver, all the same result (battery's checked).
I have tried with and without candelair driver, its the same.
I have even tried without remote buddy to control XBMC, nothing. Same with Eyetv without remote buddy, no control.
I even checked/unchecked in XBMC the System option "let other programs control XBMC" nothing changed.
Please advice.
Thank you in advance.
