A tool for the dual-head presentation of PDF slides on Mac OS X, most likely using a laptop and a projector. The project arose out of the need to correctly project slides created with LaTeX's beamer class.

Enhancement: Support for Apple Remote #9

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Great! I finally found the only tool that supports dualhead latex beamer pdf 
presentations. There 
are only two things that would make the tool perfect. One is the already 
mentioned timer.
The second is support for the Apple Remote Control.

Oh i forgot to mention, that i could localize the app in german if it is 
desired.

Ahrg! I just saw that there is already RemoteControl support in svn. I checked 
out the current version. But it does 
not work properly.

hey i tried your program and i think it's amazing, only my remote also does not 
work. i downloaded the source code and there are indeed references to the 
remote, but i am unfamiliar with xcode/objective-c so i haven't really figured 
it out yet. 

do you think it is a snow leopard issue or is it not properly implemented yet? 
i would like to check the whole project out after my exams

Yes it is a SL issue, i fixed it, but i don't have much time to contribute the 
changes at the moment. I can send you a binary if you send me an e-mail

The Carbon API that the current code uses is still there, but doesn't work 
properly in SL (and presumably not in 64 bit). There is a way to do it directly 
with the HID control, but I haven't looked into it and it also has some issues 
in SL.

A short term fix (which has worked perfectly well for me) is Candelair - an 
extension which fixes the SL issues and restores the carbon API.

It should also fix any other apple remote supporting software which broke with 
SL.

This bug could possibly be closed because there is no IR receiver on MacBooks anymore (since 2012 or so). I recently used the bluetooth remote from a Amazon FireTV Stick successfully with spiltshow.
