I’ve got the same problem
Aeon skin isn’t working with this release. I’m going one release back.

I just wondered why something was released that wasn’t in svn. Seemed odd to me, and there was talks of a fork before.

btw, that article was nice. No mention of the flamatory osxbmc name. .

Something to include in a future release?

Thanks for all your work =)

I think peete is talking about this one:

I’ll try and bump my linux revision up to the latest svn tomorrow and make sure it still replicates, then I’ll post a couple of bug reports. It seems like it’s going to be something weird and fiddly with way MKV (and possibly mp4) calculate stream lengths, but I sincerely hope it’s something easier than that.

Martin: (1) Using sequences was deemed to be an easier way to get Universal Remotes programmed. It was never intended that the key sequences be entered by humans during regular usage. We could always support a multi-Apple-Remote mode as well at some point. (2) Please point me to the patch and I’ll look into incorporating it.

Randy: Sorry, I bungled the release build, this will be fixed in the next beta.

monstar-x: I’ve never heard of that bug, please post to Trac. Do you have any broken symlinks in that directory?

bmfrosty: I can dig it.

imfloflo: Weather is fixed in the next beta.

Robert: These issues should *all* be fixed in the next release! I’m pretty sure the screensaver one was a timer I’d hacked to be 10 seconds for testing purposes.

kainen: You’ll be happy with the next beta too.

peete: Sorry mate, I’m not understanding what your problem is.

Anyway… I don’t see myself using Front Row ever again.. it was so bad that I only tried it a couple times.

OSXBMC rulezzzzz !!!!!

Ok, now I have something that every key press works about 99.9% of the time if you are aiming the remote correctly. The Macros themselves were not working great, and when I was looking at the logs, even though I was getting the correct end result, it seemed extra commands were being sent, and sometimes it didn’t work at all. Worse than that the first file I uploaded wouldn’t have worked for anyone else (it didn’t work on my other remote for instance). For you MX-900, 950 users this should just work (and I think other MX versions should be able to import this). For everyone else, this here is what I ended up doing that worked the best. I originally just had the 6 apple keys programmed into my remote, and I built macros out of these keys in the Windows editor software, tried all sorts of different timings to see what would work etc. It was very flakey. Just to test my sanity I tried “pressing the macros by hand” this seemed to work perfectly. So basically, what I did was I put one of my universal remotes in Learn mode, and using the other universal remote I sent the macro into via learning. I didn’t think it would work, but it picked up 2 and 3 discrete code macros quite easily. I basically got 70% of the commands programmed this way. There were a few buttons that just didn’t work. For anyone trying this, it was quite normal for me at least to have to try to program it 6-7 times before it took correctly, and this is including the times the software said it successfully learned what I was sending. There were just some commands I couldn’t get going (Page up, Page down, Title). I eventually decided to try to hunt down a real apple remote and try to program the “learned macros” using the apple remote. This worked much better and solved the remaining buttons I couldn’t get going. URC MX users let me know if the file below works for you. You should be able to import it in as a device.

Any questions you can contact me at first initial last name at google mail. Here is the page where I’m tracking my progress on URC remotes and where you can download the device file.

BEST THING FOR MAC USERS IN 2008 YET!!!

The screensaver starts even if I am using the wireless bluetooth keyboard at the same time. I need to press ESC to turn it off. I did a work around – changed the time from 1 minute to 3, I usually get my new movie or song playing within that timeframe

Also the date and time settings are lacking the summertime function. If in Sweden (like I am) I need to select another country for the correct time (using Swaziland right now). Not a major or urgent bug though.

Speaking of Sweden, Scandinavian letters Å, Ä, Ö, å, ä, ö are displayed as bad characters on files and folders. I use mounted discs (that are connected to my Windows computer), I did try using the straight SMB share, but that wasn’t able to display images or folder covers, so I went back to mounted discs.

I will report this in the bug area too, just curious if someone else had these problems or know a solution.

Signs of ass right here:

It may not all be checked in yet since Elan is off in the wilderness, but the OS X port has not forked. Please take this kind of conversation to a private forum before posting publicly, especially if it is nonsense.

Thanks. Let’s not let a little ass come between us.
