trouble with triggers

Tue, 01/19/2010 - 13:00 — manyrobots

Hi,

Is there a trick to get the triggers to work from an apple remote?  I cant get the demo triggers to work (where it speaks the command).   When I double click the trigger listing, I can get it to speak the command.  I can see the triggers come up in the debug logging window, and I can the see the lights flash on my usb irtrans receiver.  I have the 2.2.7 drivers installed, and I am on os x 10.5.8.  I've also tried setting up triggers from an apple remote as IR Codes as well, and failed similarly.  Am I missing something obvious to get them to work?  

Thanks,

Tim

Built-in IR receiver or IRTrans?

In general, the Apple Remote triggers only work with the built-in Apple IR receiver. This device has to be present - and has to be activated in the device list on iRed's main window.

 

If you have no IR recevier built-in, ou can mimic that with the IRTrans, but then these are ordinary IR triggers. So, create a trigger in the
"Trigger/IR Codes" section using one of the learbed IR codes of the Apple Remote.

Is your Apple Remote working with other apps, like Front Row?
