Good catch

Footprint, performance and stability are key differences. If the remote works with LIRC, it'll work with aTV.

bass63 Wrote:Are you using Harmony remote to emulate original 6 button remote or have you managed to install lirc or something to program all available XBMC commands? If so, I would love to know how to do this in Sam's image. Thanks in advance!
earlier reply didn't quote. you have to use atvclient bc that is what governs the ir signals into the atv (i think). i posted the instructions i used a few posts back. pm me if you need more help.

in the harmony config program on your computer set the remote up as a media center pc->plex->plex player. after that follow the instructions in the above post.
works well for me.
Just want to make sure I am following you all on the remote functionality, if I follow the above post I should theoretaically be able to make use of a logitech harmony 650 I have laying around?

pmcd Wrote:Thank you for the great explanation for this and the shutdown script. The shutdown script will also come in handy. For some odd reason I don't know how to add either as a favorite. If I try to add an addon then I can never navigate to the scripts folder ( wheer put the two files). When you say to add a favorite, do you mean "addon"?Just checked my ATV and got the following output:

Edit: Ok, I used the file manager and added it to favorites. But the script doesn't seem to work. It seems to think that atv is a command.

Sam.Nazarko Wrote:Use atv-linux (see Google Code). It is the project I worked on, gives you a beautiful Ubuntu Minimal install of ~400MB and then you can install a desktop with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. This will give you a system without XBMC/CrystalHD.
Can your image program use this image? ive had no luck trying to image it myself. It fails everytime i try it in ubuntu.

Add an echo in your script:
echo atv | sudo -S reboot

Yeah, that should make it work.
Remote - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2011-04-30
I plan on making the move to sam's image but I want to make sure that when I make the move, I have a remote that will work with it, I did some searching through the LIRC remote lists and found an entry for a GE Universal Remote, I am this one: http://www.jascoproducts.com/products/pc/GE-Universal-Remote-Control-26p208.htm just really want to make sure it will work before I move any further, also what would I have to do to enable it, or will it work out of the box? Thanks for your help guys.

From what I understand, if you want to use the internal IR receiver in the appletv then the universal remote must have a code for the Apple TV or Plex Player. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Crystalbuntu + Gmote - nchall - 2011-04-30
Could anyone point me in the right direction to get Gmote server working on Crystalbuntu? I realize it is more complicated because it must be done through terminal, not a GUI, but I assume it can be done.
Basically, I'm looking for a way to have a wireless keyboard on my Android phone for text input to XBMC.
I have installed Java, VLC and the Gmote server. When I run gmoteserver.sh I get this error message in Java: No X11 Display Variable. I think this is because I am initiating it over SSH?
Obviously, I'm not good with Linux. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
