Apple remote Mac-mini

[musictalks 2]

Hi all.

Has anybody been successful in using Apples IR remote with a Mac mini?

I'm using a Mac mini as my main server as there has been too many recorded tv problems on my old WMC. 

The wife needs a simple (read tv style remote) to operate.

 

Any suggestions would help.

 

Thanks

Hi, does it send regular key codes, do you know?

Thanks for the reply.

The Apple remote is an infra-red device and the same device used for the Apple TV which is integrated directly with the OS.

 

Up key:     EE 87 0A 68

Down key:   EE 87 0C 68
Left key:   EE 87 09 68
Right key:  EE 87 06 68
Center key: EE 87 5C 68 followed by EE 87 05 68
Menu key:   EE 87 03 68
Play key:   EE 87 5F 68 followed by EE 87 05 68

 I'm not sure if they are regular or not.

 

Cheers
