1 Apple remote

First (white) and second (silver) generation Apple remotes.

There are two versions of the Apple remote, the first generation white one with 6 buttons, and the second generation silver one with 7 buttons. These remotes have sometimes come with Mac computers and Apple TV units, but can also be purchased separately. The white version is no longer made, but can be found on eBay. Both versions have identical functions and be used interchangeably. Currently the 'Play' button on the silver version functions the same as the middle 'select' button (with some exceptions; for instance 'Play' on a folder in files-view plays all files in the folder). The remotes can also be paired to a specific device to prevent one remote from controlling two devices at once (or vice versa).

This is how to install the Apple Remote (A1294) on a Macbook under Archlinux. The IR driver is called macmini if using a different IR device find out the driver name and replace macmini. You will need to run the irrecord step below and won't be able to use the config I posted.

Leelbox remote app

Install lirc using your packagemanager:

edit /etc/conf.d/lircd.conf NOTE: the DEVICE name can differ.

create /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

If you don't have an Apple Remote A1294 (look under the battery for the model number) you must create a file with

OR take a look in /usr/share/lirc/remotes/apple/ OR http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/apple/ if someone else already has.

start the lirc service

You can use the irw command to test if you have done everything right up until now. It will display button presses of the remote.
