[AppleTV2] Red Icon stuck in top right - Snookieboy - 2012-01-07

I don't know how, but on my ATV2 I have a red icon stuck at the top which is now following me and staying there, even when Movies and stuff are playing.

Googling let me to believe it may be a Mute Icon, but I can ensure you the audio is not muted. I've tried logging into the WebUI and increasing the volume hoping it would fix it (even though volume doesnt work on the AppleTV) but with no luck.

I'm guessing I need to manually kill wherever the volume setting XML is in XBMC to fix this? If so, anyknow know where or even another solution?

I don't even know how its possible to mute something where volume control isnt working :S

Urgently looking for a fix, please Sad

Edit: Self Fixed, Edited GUISettings.XML on this line:

<volumelevel>-6000</volumelevel>
To:
<volumelevel>0</volumelevel>

As for how XBMC managed to set it to that low on a version which doesn't even have a volume control will remain a mystery :O

I don't know how it happened but when I logged into XBMX today there was a muted icon on the right side of the screen. I do not have any sound when watching movies but do have sound when navigation through XBMC.....plz help!

Thank You! I did not see that thread.....lol

Use google to search the site rather than the built in one. It works much better.

I read the other post when it was made. It helps if you know it exists Smile

One guy had to copy the contents of the file, delete the old one, and paste the text into a new guisettings.xml file. After doing this don't forget to also fix permissions on the file:

I'm having the exact same problem. I've had it "take" once but it seems to reset itself on every startup of XBMC.

Is there any way around this? Thanks!

In the back of my mind I want to say it was an add-on that was doing this, but I can't find the post. Will keep looking.

TvTunes maybe?

it has an option to temporary lower the volume while it's running.
though it will restore the volume to the original value when the script exits.

no clue if this messes things up on the atv, since we can't control the volume there at all.

I had the exact same problem...
I solved i by going into: Start/ Network (windows)
Then rightclick on Apple Tv, and then choose to see website.
Then just use the "Remote" to adjust the volume.
Worked fine here... but it took me a while to figure out what the little red icon was Wink

I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy! Sad

I've tried editing (and replacing) the guisettings.xml file but it doesn't make any difference and changes back to -6000 on reset in any case.

@Arngothia: my ATV2 desn't appear anywhere on my Windows PC, please can you provide more information about your fix?

@g-off: the link you posted appears to be to this thread! Was that a typo or have missed something?

Any other suggestions?

Go into the xbmc network settings and turn on the web server interface.

@g-off: Genius! Thank you!

Got same silly red dot at top right corner.
Fixed it by going into "system/system/audio output"
And removing the "boost volume level on downmix".

It fixed my problem, hope it does the same for you.
