First of all let me say that I don't own a Mac Mini so my knowledge of the IR device is limited to what I've read. However, I don't believe you can use the IR receiver with other IR devices.

If the mac mini remote used the same protocol as the MCE remote then you might be able to use it, but the MCE keyboard uses a different protocol and would certainly not work with the current implementation that is included in IR Server Suite.

If someone comes up with a way to get IR Time Code data from the Mac Mini device then I would be able to add MCE remote and Keyboard support in no time at all. In fact, any device that reports or can report the IR signal as time code can have MCE remote and Keyboard support added (for example, once I get the IgorPlug support sorted out it will support the MCE remote and Keyboard).

If you do try out IR Server Suite and can't get anything out of the Mac Mini device let me know and I'll post a test app here. I'd really to get the Mac Mini support finished off (out of the "experimental" phase).

In fact I might post the test app later today anyway, cos I would like to get a list of button codes ...

Cheers,
