Set up VLC for the VLC Remote - Mac 10.4
A) Use the VLC Setup script
Free Manu has created an applescript which should automate the setup.
He has also posted detailed pictures and instructions in French for the setup here
Thanks to Free Manu for this.
NB - I can't offer support on using this script (I don't know or use 10.4!)
If that doesn't work for you, you can still use the manual setup method.
