[AppleTV] Remote control menus not working after upgrade Apple TV to XBMC 9.11

Hi a12v13,
Sorry if I was a bit misleading before. You are correct when you say you should be editing your joystick.AppleRemote.xml. I was just trying to make sure you edited the correct one (in the userdata area).

I am not having the same problems as you are, but I am also running AppleTV 2.03. I used this to get extra universal remote commands. This might be the problem you are having.

If you do decide to upgrade, please make sure you back up the Userdata folder before you start.

Cheers,
Winkie

Same problem here,unable to use "hold menu" with contextmenu.
I think hold menu doesn't work at all.
Another problem editing joystick.AppleRemote.xml: "bigstepback" using holdleft doesn't work,"bigstepforward" instead,works,strange

AppleTV 2.4 with 9.11 ,aluminium remote.

Same problem,oh well not really a problem,i prefere to shut down in this way instead of exit from XBMC and then via the AppleTV main menu.
To have back the OSD i changed the "joystick.AppleRemote.xml" list,i put the action in the minus button,lost the volume down action,but i don't need it,if i want it, i use my Pioneer Kuro main remote

Another question,without the contextmenu action,how is possible to change source settings,source preview jpg for example,i found only the source.xml list to edit and cancel sources.

I though I was going crazy with this. The option for contextmenu doesnt work with any button on the appletv in fullscreen mode. The context menu works in all the other sections but not whne you are streaming video. Is there anyway to downgrade your installation or to re-install XBMC 9.04. Thanks everyone for all the info.

Mind posting your modified xml?
you can also ssh into your ATV and watch what key-presses Launcher receives by typing

The biggest issue for me is that without being able to get to the ODS menu with the Apple remote there is no way for me to get rid of subtitles. If I had a different way I'd be ok too, but most my movies have subtitles I don't want displayed.

I have the same problem here. I have tried changing the joystick.Appleremote.xml trying to get the contextmenu to work but no matter what button I assign it still doesnt work. If I hold the center key on the remote I get the same symptom, XBMC reboots.
