    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.
