User 30.10.2015 15:21:24 | New Apple TV 4 Remote working with RB | |
This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. Can or will in the future RB work with the new ATV 4 remote via BT? That would be a great option. Adrian

These entries from the FAQ may be relevant to this topic: Hardware
Using Remote Buddy Display for tvOS, you can mirror your Mac's display onto the Apple TV and then use its Siri Remote as trackpad, keyboard and remote to control your Mac.
Hardware - Apple® Remote
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.
Please update your copy of Remote Buddy to version 1.15 or later.

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. Hi Felix! You didn't answer Adrian's question. Do you planning to support the new Siri Remote from Apple through the bluetooth connection on MacOS? (Not via the AppleTV box). I would like to purchase a license as soon as RB supports that option.

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. I was also hoping for a full implementation in Remote Buddy... Any response regarding Siri Remote + Remote Buddy (Mac) - please?

User 19.11.2015 21:28:27 | Re: New Apple TV 4 Remote working with RB | |
This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. As Robert stated; not yet the answer to my question. So if I would get a second ATV4-remote (it seems I can not un-pair the existing remote), will it pair and work with RB directly? Greetings,
Adrian

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. Thanks everyone for your interest. I've seen your posts and emails and would have loved to answer them right away. What has held and still holds me back is that I'm not yet ready to spill the beans about what has been and still is brewing in the pipeline. Remote Buddy Display is an important and big step forward, but only the first step on a whole roadmap I have for the Siri Remote. Stay tuned. It will be worth the wait - and I'll spill the beans soon. P.S.: If you haven't done so already, please consider following @RemoteBuddy on Twitter and/or subscribing to the low-traffic newsletter at https://www.iospirit.com/newsletter/ to get notified.

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. Can't wait to see it Felix. Remote Buddy has been a staple in my setup for years and was the primary reason for moving to the Harmony Smart Control remote from my old Harmony 900. If you could ever find a way to integrate the Siri remote into both the Logitech Hub (control devices like TV and Sonos sound system via wifi) as well as the apple TV via bluetooth, that would be phenomenal. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned next!

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. As they say, "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans", which brought development to full stop for about the past 2-3 weeks. I'm now back to work day, night & weekends on this, though. It's just THAT good and I can't wait to complete a first version and share it with the world.

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. Still waiting on news, but I was wondering if there might be some way to work a Pulse-eight CEC adapter? |
User 26.01.2016 11:45:38 | Re: New Apple TV 4 Remote working with RB | |
This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. In the meantime you could use BetterTouchTool. It's already compatible with Siri Remote. Although certainly not as comfortable and feature rich as RB... Last edited: 26.01.2016 11:46:10

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. Any news on this? It's been months. I would love to use the new remote to control my Macmini. Maybe my tv and stereo too via cec adapter, but just the Macmini for now would be nice. |

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. Hi Felix, you've teased us back in November to "spill the beans soon"... That clearly wasn't regarding the Siri remote/Mac OS integration. Now, 6 months later there are still no news about this.
Is there really nothing you can tell us about it? At least a rough ETA? Last edited: 23.05.2016 14:27:45

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. I can't share more details about the project itself for marketing and competitive reasons, but can share so much: - I continue to work on the project and it is making good progress
- when starting the project, its scope was relatively narrow and I expected to finish it relatively quickly
- during development, as is often the case, I realized the huge potential of some of the technologies and concepts I've created for it
- the scope of this project has since expanded significantly
- in consequence, development is taking longer than originally projected, but the result will be magnitudes better and more useful Sorry for clearly teasing this too early – and thanks for your patience.

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information. Hi Felix! I know, you can't tell us anything regarding ATV4/Siri remote support... Nevertheless - can you tell us something about it's current state? ;-)
Almost three more months have passed since your last reply and i'm still eagerly waiting for any bit of news you can give. Anything?
