Hi,
The app I'm working on makes use of the Apple Remote; specifically, it
runs a helper app (daemon) so that the app can be started with a press
of the Apple Remote Menu button, and then passes key presses it
receives to the app via UDP messages.
I'm seeing two issues:
1) Even though I open the device with kIOHIDOptionsTypeSeizeDevice,
I'm seeing times where it seems to lose exclusivity. I can't pin it to
any specific event (i.e. wake from sleep, etc.), but it definitely
seems to lose it after a period of time (hours, days). After that
hitting the Menu button brings up both the application *and* Front
Row, which is not exactly optimal :-)
I read somewhere that if an application loses focus and then regains
it, it should reopen the device to assure exclusivity. I'm not sure
how this would work with a daemon that doesn't ever have focus in the
application sense.
2) I'm seeing cases where key-presses on the Apple Remote are lost. It
might be correlated with the actual application using a bit more CPU.
I'm not sure if the process doing the Apple Remote reception needs to
be run at a higher priority?
Any help you could offer would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
-elan
