Chris! Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Map a remote control button to a keyboard combination that tells the OS to start Plex. Though you will effectively lose a useable remote control button. Is the computer just being used for plex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcello Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Bumping this thread. I just got my two FLIRC dongles to use with Mac Minis. They are only used for Plex.While the Mac Mini still has a built-in receiver, the oldest of the two machines (a 2011 model) is starting to misbehave. The IR receiver will simply stop working unless I reboot the machine (I even tried reformatting the machine). Sometimes it will get back alive after a few minutes..I'm using a Beo4 which emulates an Apple Remote. This works fine once I start manually Plex Home Theater, but assigning one of the 5 buttons of the remote to a hotkey is impossible because (as you guessed) all 5 buttons are needed to properly operate Plex.Is there a way (even with additional software - Remote Buddy comes to mind but it doesn't support Flirc) to achieve a working solution to launch an app on the Mac?
