Apple remote compatible with cMP 5.1

[teiki arii]

Hello,
to use Apple Remote with IINA (the software I prefer) when watching films on cMP 5.1/SR7011/Samsung 1080p display via HDMI, I bought a USB remote smartgus to make it compatible.
I couldn't find it anywhere on MacRumors, so if it helps..
Best regards.

Nice to know that there are some more options for those old IR remotes. I had one running using a Microsoft IR receiver and https://www.iospirit.com/labs/candelair/ .

More fun is that the new Apple TV remotes can pair via Bluetooth - https://eternalstorms.at/freeware/Eternal_Storms_Software_-_Freeware_Apps_(SiriMote)/Eternal_Storms_Software_-_Freeware_Apps_(SiriMote).html

Thats kinda neat, would be cool to use my old remote with my older Macs. Will have to look into this further.

You can use it with all new Macs plug and play.
