XBMC - ATV with Universal Remote
#1
Has anyone figured out how to make this work smoothly?

I understand that you can change the keymappings, but for example, how do you map the context menu command (Hold 'menu' for a few seconds) to a single menu button on your remote? I haven't seen a way to map the 'hold' part.

FWIW - I'm using a Harmony 880 remote. thx in advance.

Sorry, buddy. I'm waiting on the exact same thing. I actually returned my Apple TV and am going to wait until this feature is fixed.

If you programmed your Harmony to emulate AppleRemote, it should work out of the box. If you want to remap the buttons see http://trac.xbmc.org/browser/branches/li...p.xml#L164 for an example.
Mapping AppleRemote buttons 1-8 should work on ATV >= 2.2. Including Play_Hold and Menu_Hold. (Left and Right Hold button events were removed from ATV < 2.2, Play_Hold is not present on ATV < 2.2)

Checking (posting) your logs should give helpful information, too.
