Using Apple Remote (silver) with Kodi

Having Kodi installed on Mac mini and trying to use Apple Remote?

You do not need lircd, the remote behaves like a keyboard and sends VolumeUp, VolumeDown, Back, Forward, Enter, Menu and PlayPause when a buton is pressed. Thus, we need to change the key mapping if we want the behavior of moving left, right, up, down and back.

1. Place the file apple.remote.xml (below) in KODI_DATA_DIR/userdata/keymaps.
2. Restart Kodi.

Install Arch Linux on Mac mini

We will be creating dual boot for OS X and Linux with no special boot loader. For other setup, refer to [1]. We will keep all data on an external hard drive, so we do not need huge amount of space for the linux system. We will install from an USB thumb drive (will need at least 1GB in size), newer Minis do not have CD roms.

Prepare the disk in Mac OS X (El Capitan)
