[AppleTV2] Logitech Harmony support for ATV2?

You shouldn't do. I thought it came with xbmc? You can always make it yourself if not? Can't see any harm being done in that...

Thanks. It worked. Just to confirm you can work only with button ids that are mapped to remote. Basically find the one which is not used and map to the function you want. In this case I mapped button id 1(which was originally mapped to volume up, not really useful) to do this. I see this one in the keymap file

<!-- Enter --> <button id="78">ShowVideoMenu</button>

but my harmony remote does not send any signal on pressing enter. Is there a way to learn it?

That's normal. There's a copy within the XBMC app/frapp itself that serves as a master that you can copy from, but it's typically just easier to download a fresh .xml from github using the link on the Keyboard.xml wiki page: https://raw.github.com/xbmc/xbmc/master/...Remote.xml

ShowSubtitles Toggles whether subtitles are shown or not.
NextSubtitle Change to the next subtitle language, if there is more than one.

So it would be (same buttons example as before)

Code:

<button id="18">ShowSubtitles</button>

or

Code:

<button id="18">NextSubtitle</button>

Hi-
This did not work for me. For some reason it is ignoring it. I decided I could live without it once I realized I could hold down the "OK" button to access all the language stuff. Which leaves me with one last question. I noticed that there is an option for customizing the "pageup" and "pagedown" buttons. Are there already physical buttons on the Harmony One remote which trigger these buttons? I was using those options to trigger the subtitles, but they don't seem to do anything.
Thanks again though - my ATV2 w/XBMC is the best thing ever. If only it would play 1080p files, it'd be perfect.

It might not be button 18. I was just using it as an example. If you turn debugging on and then keep pressing the button you want it to be, when you read the log it will tell you what button number that is.

Sorry to sound like a numpty but can someone please explain how I enter this code and where exactly?

I'm familiar with "ssh" to upfate and fix a few things if that's a useful starting point? Thanks.

Using your SSH program (I use SSH Secure File Transfer) - work your way to /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/keymaps . Password is usually "alpine" unless you changed it. Then you need to edit the file joystick.AppleRemote.xml. If it doesn't exist then download from https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...Remote.xml . Use whatever text editor you want to edit it. You will want to change one of the following:

As far as I could tell, there aren't many you can live without. Me I decided I didn't need SkipNext. I couldn't get pageup or pagedown to work. Then you save the file and put it back in the same place.

You may need to create a button using the Logitech Harmony software to match the button you created above if your remote doesn't have a physical button.

Thanks. I use Win SCP. When I ket to keymaps, there's nothing there. I double click on keymaps and just get a "..". Any idea what I should do from there?

Which remote are you guys talking about?
I assume the Harmony One, but I have an unopened 600.
Can I use this or should I return it?
