Since the release of Snow Leopard, Apple’s latest and greatest OS, Boxee users who upgraded have found themselves with a remote that’s possessed or at least seems to be since it controls multiple programs at the same time. The wizzes over at IOSPIRIT have come to the rescue with new software called Candelair to let people use their IR remote (Apple, Logitech Harmony, etc.) to control Boxee as they did prior to upgrading.  Candelair intercepts incoming remote signals on your Apple, and routes them intelligently to different programs, including Boxee, Front Row, and others.  Kudos to Felix and the IOSPIRIT team for coming up with this elegant solution.

Of course iPhone owners can always use the Boxee app, which makes it easy to navigate Boxee using the touchscreen and input text using the iPhone’s on screen keyboard.  For those who want to control more than just Boxee, check out IOSPIRIT’s Remote Buddy app which gives you control of 100+ programs on your Mac, using your iPhone.

The upcoming version of Boxee will address these issues, but in the meantime we wanted to make sure you knew about these solutions – and we got to Photoshop stuff, which is always fun.
