[MUSIC] Pressing play on apple remote while playing does not pause the song?
#1
Hi all

Ive revently upgraded my hifi system and wanted to use XBMC as my main source for music.

However i am finding one "game breaking" issue that is really nagging me.

My problem scenario is this:

1. I find a song and press the play button on the apple remote.
2. Song plays
3. I press play a second time but instead of the song going into pause it plays the song from the beginning.

I am using XBMC eden beta2

Any ideas?

That's due to the ATV2 remote having so few buttons and the current screen that it's on. When you play a song the remote is still using Play for "select/enter". Part of the problem is that music doesn't go into "full screen mode" when you play a song.

It is possible to use a learned remote (from the native ATV2 settings) and map it as a dedicated play/pause button. I can't recall off-hand how to do it, but I'm sure someone will mention something, or search around the forums (might even be something in the FAQ, but can't remember).
