I've been working on a replacement Keymap.xml file for use with the Apple TV remote, that hopefully will make it easier for everyone to use.
This includes giving context menus (like white button on Xbox remote if you are used to XBMC on Xbox) in the videos folder for scanning content, as well as OSD for when playing music.
There are 2 files, as I found that the PM3.HD skin has a 'stop' option on the OSD while playing video but the PM3 skin does not, so the PM3 version remaps the '-' button to 'stop' when playing full screen video.
For people wanting to improve these, the following are what I have found.
Apple TV Remote - XBMC label Function
--------------------------------
Menu - Menu
Play/Pause - Select or Enter
Menu (P&H) - Back
+ - Up
- - Down
Left - Left
Right - Right
And below are the current and replacement key mappings.
Full screen video
-----------------------------
Press menu to bring up player controls
Press and hold menu to bring up movie information.
Press play/pause to play/pause
Press + for forward 10 minutes
Press |<< for back 30 seconds
Press >>| for forward 30 seconds
Press - for back 10 minutes (PM3.HD keymap)
Press - for stop (PM3 keymap)
Due to PM3 (original skin) not having a stop option in full screen video, there are 2 keymap files.
KeymapPM3.xml for PM3 (maps '-' button as stop)
KeymapPM3HD.xml for PM3.HD skin (leaves '-' as back 10 mins)
(You can obviously use the KeymapPM3.xml file on the PM3.HD skin, you will just have - as stop)
Rename the Keymap file that you want to Keymap.xml and place it in /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system on the ATV
Backup the original Keymap.xml first, then delete it before copying this one over.

(note that due to this option P&H of menu will not bring up music player controls while in the videos section)
