#REMOTE BUDDY OS X MAC#
Remote Control: Turn the remote of your Apple TV into a remote for over 100+ popular Mac apps, for which Remote Buddy provides tailor-made plugins.For example, you can connect your Apple TV to a projector in your conference room and use it as a shared Mac display and remote control solution for the whole team. Remote Buddy Display lets you turn your Siri Remote into a presentation tool with mouse spot. After that you will be able to bring your Mac apps onto the big screen via high-speed screen sharing while turning your Siri Remote into a trackpad, keyboard and remote to control them.

#REMOTE BUDDY OS X INSTALL#
I keep a mouse and keyboard in the cabinet only for when I need to go under the hood and do something in OS X.In order to use Remote Buddy Display, you will need to install a companion app on your Mac. I control everything in my setup (TV, receiver, and Mac Mini with one-button pushes to launch all of my programs) with my Harmony remote. His How-To is split into 2 parts: the first part focuses on setting up the Harmony remote and Remote Buddy, the second on fine-tuning your system for EyeTV and Plex.Īgain, it takes a bit of effort, but if you've got a Mac Mini media center the investment is totally worth it. OK THIS IS APPARENTLY MY FIRST POST AND I CANNOT POST A LINK UNTIL I HAVE POSTED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. instead of using the Remote Buddy menu to switch between apps, but if you're interested this is a good place to start. I made a few tweaks to my own system to add some Apple Scripts to allow for one-button pushes to launch EyeTV, Plex, etc. This guy wrote up a great how-to that I used to set my system up. It's a little complicated to set up the first time, but once its set up you never have to touch it again. Long story short, it allows EyeTV to be controlled via the built-in IR receiver on the front of your Mac. What I did in my case was to install remote buddy and bought a Harmony 650 remote. Why oh why would they built the IR receiver into the stick, something that in most cases is going to be plugged into the back of a computer, not to mentioned possibly buried in the back of a media center.

I was frustrated, angry and disappointed in my purchase. In the beginning I was trying to use the EyeTV remote as well, doing everything I could to try to hide the EyeTV Hybrid and the connected cables and still be able to hit the built-in IR receiver. I have a Mac Mini media center using EyeTV, Plex and Apple DVD Player. Manage your schedule and recordings with a quick screen-share in to the desktop a few times during the week, either from your iPad or another Mac you have in the house, try the EyeTV remote app, basically, I think you'd be a lot less frustrated exploring some of these methods than the route you're presently on. You will be much better off integrating EyeTV content into a more full-featured front end like XBMC (or perhaps Plex) and then playing back all of your content with something very simple like 1) the Apple remote or 2) using remote apps on an iPad or other iOS device. I'd recommend putting the EyeTV remote in a drawer somewhere, forgetting about it and deploying mice and keyboards elsewhere. Then I did the Harmony remote thing for a while, it was a little better but, despite a significant investment of time, never quite got it to the point where it could control everything from the couch in a way where I enjoyed using it.Īnyway, to cut to the chase, interacting with EyeTV itself is clunky at best and horrible at worst on-screen, no matter how you do it. When I put my first Mac in the living room as an HTPC I also kept a BT mouse and keyboard on the coffee table, that lasted a few months. I've been using EyeTV for 7+ years and have never once used its physical remote. It's always interesting to find out how others do things, and there certainly isn't any one best approach.
