I tried to use the logitech software and set it to both Mac Mini and Macbook Pro, but the button presses do not work. The only button that seems to work is the menu button which launches XBMC.

Is there any way to get the Harmony Remote to act like the Apple Remote? Does the Apple Remote still work in programs like Mplayer OSX Extended? I know frontrow is gone, which got rid of a lot of the apple remote's functionality.

Is getting an Apple Remote necessary? I will if I need to, even if it is just to pair the apple remote ID to the Mac Mini and then to teach the harmony remote its code. I only want to buy it though if it is necessary and will work with Mplayer OSX Extended and other programs.
