Configure IR Apple remote for Amarra volume?

[Opusover21]

A follow on from the Weiss vs Amarra vol control. Apart from using a a VNC is there any way of configuring the Amarra to use with the IR remote that comes with the Mac mini

this is a looooong shot, but you might google for IR remote enabled scripting?

 

I have no other idea on how it might possibly work, short of Amarra integrating the IR remote, e.g. via Front Row.

Have a look at Remote Buddy or Controllermate

 

Edit: sorry, that was a bit cryptic. I did intend to go into a bit more detail.

 

Remote Buddy

It's a very highly regarded, very powerful system add-on which lets you make almost any remote do almost anything.

 

ControllerMate

http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/

A utility that lets you assign behaviours to keyboard / mouse / joystick buttons that OSX doesn't recognise. Good (for example) for making the rather nice Logitech keyboards and mice play a lot better on a mac than is possible with Logitech's own software.

 

Having said that, I'm not convinced that either of these will do what you want, at least not without a fair bit of tinkering. I think you'd also need some access to the inner workings of Amarra as well, which is probably a deal breaker. Perhaps some kind person with the power to make such things happen will be listening?
