[QUOTE="rsenden, post: 961141, member: 24295"] 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: [LIST] [*]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 [/LIST] You should now be able to control MediaPortal using your Harmony remote! Kind regards, Ruud [/QUOTE]
