Apple Remote not working

Post by 1A_Freewill »

I'm trying to use DVDpedia with my Apple remote to play movies on my hard drive (because using Front Row under Snow Leopard results in jerky playback). I'm unable to control DVDpedia, or even get the program to recognize the remote.

I hold down the "menu" button to launch full screen, and nothing happens. If I enter full screen using the "view" command, DVDpedia won't recognize the remote to switch between movies or launch them.
It works fine if I use the keyboard, but that defeats the purpose of using a remote full-screen.

The remote works fine in launching Front Row.
Any tips or advice?

Thanks.

Under Snow Leopard DVDpedia needs the CandleAir driver. It should have prompted automatically for the option to install it when going to full screen. However here is the direct link. Also please download the beta version of DVDpedia as I made a few changes for better Remote support under Snow Leopard.
