I'm not taking the credit, just incorporate the changes you want in the joystick.AppleRemote.xml which is located in /Volumes/frontrow/Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system/keymaps/

First check out this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=230849&postcount=4

I am using Apple Mini with XBMC version 23393. There is no file located as you describe. But a folder named: keymaps has the file. The file is located in contents\resources\xbmc\system\keymaps\joystick.AppleRemote.xml.

So I follow your direction and change the xml file. However, I still can't get it to work as the way I want. When I play movie in full screen, I press UP on the apple remote, it still have the volume up and it doesn't forward 10 mins as I want. Can you give me more direction in detail to help me to fix it? Thanks.

<!-- hold menu --> <button id="8">Rotate</button>
</joystick>
</SlideShow>
The changed lines have the comments in front BUT the real problem is that you have a Mac Mini and therefore it is a Mac and not an AppleTV.

As far as I know, In order to have different settings for different applications, you need 3rd party software like Mira or RemoteBuddy.

You are right! I just tried your fix in appleTV, it works. When play movie, press UP in apple remote, it will forward 10 mins.

It won't work in Mac Mini. Don't know how to fix it without the 3rd party software. Can we get it work that way without 3rd party software?

However, I also download the 30 days trial of RemoteBuddy. How do I set it up so I can press UP key in apple remote and get the movie forward 10 mins?

Please help! I tried so many different way and can't get it to work.

Just discovered that with the new settings, when you are on the info window, if you press Left on the remote you now get the Plot screen on top of the info.

very cool
