Mac mini IR-Receiver und eine Harmony (1 Viewer)

[xetic]

Hi,

hat schon einer Erfahrung mit dem IR-Receiver der Mac Reihe gemacht?
Hab gelesen es soll mit einer Harmony gut funktionieren.

Wäre für jeden Tipp oder Gedanke dankbar

Soweit ich weiß gehen mit der Harmony dann aber nur die Tasten die es auch auf der Mac Remote gibt. Also nicht wirklich viele.
Oder hat sich da was geändert? (Ich hab das mal an 2010 probiert...)

I just installed MediaPortal on a Mac Mini, and actually I'm able to use almost all buttons of my Harmony remote with the IR receiver built into the Mac Mini.

I don't have access to my Mac Mini right now, but following are the global steps:

• Configure your Harmony remote with device manufacturer Plex, model Plex Player (this combines many different Apple remotes into a single Harmony configuration)
• On the Mac Mini, open Windows Device Manager, and replace the Mac IR Driver with the other compatible driver (something like generic USB HID device)
• On the Mac Mini, install EventGhost
• Configure EventGhost with generic HID plugin, choose the Apple IR receiver in the plugin configuration. You will need to enable the Raw Data checkbox; in in order to do so you need to uncheck the checkbox above it.
• Now you should see an HID event generated for every button pressed on your Harmony remote
• In EventGhost, install the MediaPortal plugin
• Press a remote button, and drag the button event from the log to the corresponding button in the MediaPortal plugin configuration
• In MediaPortal, install the MessageReceiver plugin

You should now be able to control MediaPortal using your Harmony remote!

Kind regards,
Ruud
