A small thing: If you delete all folders named "build" before compressing and uploading the source code, version 0.2 is only 36kb large instead of >1mb. These folders are created by Xcode as part of the build process and are not necessary.

waiting for the version with the control panel:p
Well I am using .2 (just tried this for the 1st time yesterday) so I never had anything other that v0.2... I dunno maybe I should try and reboot again but since I'm knee-deep in the middle of transcoding stuff to h.264 I'll have to hold that off till Monday (at the earliest).
Oh the pains we go thru for having immediate access to our movie collections. :lol:
I've got three machines running different sets of tv-series and/or movie conversions in batch mode... I wrote my own script to make things as hands off as possible. Chugging along very well... but its filling my 400 GB drives like gangbusters.

dunno why but IrRemoteEmulator 0.2 doesnt work on my sony vaio :(
ctrl + ESC doesnt run FRontrow, meanwhile running the irkeyboard terminal application works and can control sound volume....
Any chance of being able to change the sensitivity of VirtualIRCommand to accept one click instead of 50 when holding it?
@kramer2k: the keyboard reader(VirtualIRCommand) is get invoked every time it receives a make/break-code from a usb-hid keyboard and pass exactly one command per a make/break-code. therefore, the sensitivity problem is caused by the keyboard you are using, in fact. i think your keyboard generate too many make/break-code when holding on a button for a while. accoding to my experience, i have the same problem with yours, so i changed my usb keyboard to another one and it's ok now. :)
you have only a few options for this issue, i think:
- hardware solution: change your keyboad (the best solution but needs cost. :( )
or, modify firmware inside your keyboard (only the keyboard vendor can do it??)
- software solution: tune the keyboard reader to fit with your keyboard (by dropping out some make/break-codes or so). but it cannot be as much accurate as you want. so it is not a solution but a workaround for this issue and
may have another side effects...
thanks,

imho, the emulator works well on your system since it can control sound volume with your keyboard up/down anyhow. i think, your aTV Front Row itself may have any problem, or...
can you launch aTV Front Row direclty in a terminal, by running:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front\ Row.app/Contents/MacOS/Front\ Row
- if yes: your Front Row works fine. and the problem lies on another cause (e.g.: simply ctrl+ESC wasn't mapped to Front Row?? :o ), i don't know. :confused:
- if no: might missed some important parts for your Front Row to work well. as far as i know,
Front Row checks physical Apple IR Controller, but it can be completely mimicked by FrontRowPass.kext or IRKeyboardEmu.kext.. so, if you installed IRKeyboardEmu v0.2 properly, it is surely enough to pass Apple IR Controller check by Front Row. then... what else missing?
Front Row also requires /private/etc/mach_init_per_user.d/RemoteUI.plist to run...
deserves to be checked. good luck! :)
best regards,
david
thanx worked reinstalling FR 1.3 from apple :)
Hey Everyone!
I'd like to introduce my final (probably :) ) release of IRKeyboardEmu. Version 0.3 is comes in a DMG disk image and is packaged as an installer. The installer will install the following:
-IRKeyboardEmu.kext:
The actual kernel extension that makes the magic happen.
-Remote Emulation Preference Pane:
The all new preference pane which can load and unload the kext, stop and start the daemon (IREmuHelper), and setup keymapping.
-IREmuHelper:
Keymapping daemon which loads the keymaps setup by the preference pane and maps keys to apple remote events via the kext.
After installing, reboot. After the reboot the kext and daemon should autoload by default. That can be changed with the preference pane. The preference pane should come up in System Preferences as "Remote Emulation" under the Other category. After modifying any keymaps or autload settings you should restart the daemon for changes to take effect. This can be done by stopping and starting the IREmu Daemon.
Well another version, another 2 weeks! lol. It's been a learning experience as I wasn't very familiar with cocoa. Hope you guys like it! Get at it here:
