10.4: Easily use Front Row on a second monitor (TV)
Is it possible to use the keyspan remote with Front Row in lieu of Apple's remote? I've been tinkering with Front Row on a G4 installed in my home theatre primarily as a music server- would love to use my keyspan remote to control it.

Yeah, and it's pretty easy: Open up Script Editor (/Applications/AppleScript) and type or paste this code, which is basically the same as what's in the hint here: tell application "System Events"
Save that in your /Users/yourname/Library/Scripts folder (as a script, not an application), then open up your KeyspanDMR app and set one of the buttons to run that script. I use the "Cycle" button in the bottom left, cuz I don't use it for anything else. You might need to tweak the button commands for the Front Row app (in the DMR config), so that the arrow buttons do the right things; I think I had to change them from being Command-left-arrow to just left-arrow, for example. I think. Maybe not. :) Anyway, that should be it. Once you're in Front Row, pressing the Cycle button will take you back up a menu level, and pressing the Stop button will exit FR completely. Oh, and also: If you want to have FR activate without actually showing up in your Dock, you can do this: Right/Control-click on the FR application, and pick Show Package Contents. In the Contents folder, open up the file "Info.plist" and change the value for the LSUIElement entry from "0" to "1"; save changes, and that should do the trick. |
