Yes, I have that exact setup as I bought the atv2 and am having the issue that when I use the new remote with the atv2, it also controls my Crystalbuntu atv..

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I do miss the apple tv functionally thou so i think im going to buy an atv2 and use them together.

So is there any way to pair a remote under the ubuntu image like you can with the atv os so i can use them together?

I found this link that talks about pairing under Linux XBMC...

It states:

Quote:atvclient supports pairing. When an AppleTV is paired to a remote that means the AppleTV will only respond to that particular remote control. To pair your AppleTV to your remote hold down the menu and right/fast forward buttons at the same time for about 6 seconds. You should receive a notification in XBMC confirming the pairing.
To unpair your AppleTV, hold down the menu and left buttons at the same time for about 6 seconds. You can do this using any remote, even one that has not been paired to your AppleTV.

I have not tried it yet - since I am not home.. but will do so first chance I get.

Yep that works Smile

I knew you could do that under osx and didn't realize that the functionality was added to the linux build


Boot without USB stick - ^tWiSt^ - 2010-10-08

Hi,

I've followed the procedure at: HOW-TO install a Miminal Ubuntu and XBMC with sound over HDMI on the AppleTV

everything works except this final part (the only difference in my setup is that I've removed the original internal HDD and replaced with an old 120GB spare and I've installed ubuntu in /dev/sda1):

What next?

If you don't want to have to plug/unplug the USB stick to boot into Linux/AppleTV OS, check: http://wiki.github.com/Evinyatar/atvclient/appletvlinux-bootmenu
I don't really like to put a password in clear text in a script... I removed the password from the script, and added the script to the sudoers file instead:
sudo visudo
Add:
xbmc ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/bootAppleTV.sh
Same can be done on the AppleTV OS side



Anyone out there was able to configure the apple tv to boot directly from the internal drive with linux on it?

Thanks in advance

Just wanted to post a quick message letting everyone know that I just received my crystalHD card, installed it and can now play 720p/1080p content perfectly. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

Now if I can just solve the remote volume up/down issue I posted here, everything would be perfect.

Same here, been trying to update XBMC to a newer SVN for the past hour without any luck.

I'm having issues with the Subtitle downloader script. I'd like to show the creator of the script the log, but I'm unaware how to transfer this log to my Mac. Any help?
