schmoppa Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I have a freshly built ML HTPC with an i5 3570k and Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3P motherboard. I would like to use a remote control (I have a Harmony One) with the XBMC for improved WAF. I actually have a USB-UIRT, but I can't find much information regarding Mac compatability. Anyone know if USB-UIRT is workable in Mountain Lion? Or anyone have a known-compatable IR receiver (USB?) that I could purchase and use without much trouble? Thanks!

schmoppa Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 The number one solution used to be manta by twisted melon, but I don't know if it's still available. Awesome, thanks for the quick response! It looks like Twisted Melon still sell stuff. http://twistedmelon.com/shop/ Would you recommend just the hardware (manta), or the software (Mira), or both? I would love to be able to leave the HTPC tuned into XBMC, and when it's not playing content, go to sleep after 5 minutes or so. And when I want to use XBMC, use my universal remote to wake the computer via the USB IR receiver (Manta in this case). Does this sound feasible?
