Hello

I am looking for some help, I currently link my Beosystem 3 and BV 4 into a Mini Mac, from this I mainly run Plex using the B&O provided Apple Remote option on the Beo 5. Like many others I would like to run it as a seamless system.

Could someone tell me how I can program the characters C and X into my remote as this will allow me to use the Beo5 in isolation rather than in conjuction with an apple keyboard.

On a wider note, is there a way that I can call up specific programs on the Mac from the Beo 5 so that I could switch for instance between Plex and another program.

Regards

Pete

You would need a Beoport however to use this.

Yes, I know that; however the requirements are unclear so I am trying to understand whether the OP is seeking a media-centre solution or whether they are seeking a more generic, computer-style capability.
