yes i used my apple remote and taught my harmony one the codes. Been using that since day 1.

Now when I hold the menu button it seems to just issue several menu commands. I see it bouncing back to the step before. As the menu button should, yet holding it doesn't bring up the submenu.

perhaps your suspicsions were correct. After noticing the above from the harmony remote. I pulled out my iphone and got the xbmc remote app. Added the contextual menu to the remote, and all was OK. So the app has no issue at all carrying out my command for the menu. This is probably an error with the harmony remote and how it doesn't know what to do when I hold down a button. It only knows the base command of menu, not the secondary command of hold menu for contextual menu.

Lessone learned. Hopefully the logs will assist in other areas.

hey boasist,

while this thread is quite long it may have some insights about programming the harmony. IIRC the Harmony should be able to learn the "Hold" command from the Apple Remote.
