Awesome! Because there is no way to disable subtitles or anything IN MOVIE (or queue, or info or assign lol)

K... incase no one else stumbled onto it.. right nowt he skip back (chapter back) button opens up the video OSD menu

Hopefully in the near future we will be able to have a correct map of hte keys Smile

You can disable subtitles in movie....you hold down the play button i believe it is. Sorry I did it last night after finding the solution on here, but I'm at work and don't remember what it was. Basiically the same as pushing "m" on the keyboard.

Ya i figured it out.. Actually the button is mapped to "skip forward" on the harmony...
I really hope it will be possible to remap a full keyboard into the AppleTV 2g that way we can remap a harmony remote to fully function.

I'm using the remote for my lcd tv to control my ATV, I had the ATV learn the play controls but they dont seem to work in xbmc.

I have the same issue, I setup the Playback buttons on ATV2 in the Learn More menu and when I try to use them in XBMC they don't seem to work, especially the Play button, this is with my satellite remote. It seems to work with the Apple silver remote.

Yes, I have the same problem. My remote is all configured and working for xbmc on osx but doesn't work on atv2. If I press play, pause, stop etc I just get a funny beep. I've gone cross-eyed looking at all the keymap guides etc without much luck.

Davilla, you mentioned it will be fixed in a future release. Any ideas when that may be so I can look out for it or put it from my mind?

p.s. I agree with the others exceptional work getting this working on atv2. This is the only reason I bought a ATV2.

jusnogood,
Download keith's latest nightly build that contain the additional button ids that us users with Harmony Remote w/ Apple TV profile can immediately take advantage of.

Has 9 additional buttons you can remap/use in joystick.AppleRemote.xml:

Code:

<!-- Additional buttons via Harmony Apple TV remote profile -->

      <!-- pageup     -->      <button id="13">PageUp</button>

      <!-- pagedown   -->      <button id="14">PageDown</button>

      <!-- pause      -->      <button id="15">Pause</button><!-- work? -->

      <!-- play2      -->      <button id="16">Play</button>

      <!-- stop       -->      <button id="17">Stop</button>

      <!-- fast fwd   -->      <button id="18">FastForward</button><!-- work? -->

      <!-- rewind     -->      <button id="19">Rewind</button>

      <!-- skip fwd   -->      <button id="20">SkipNext</button>

      <!-- skip back  -->      <button id="21">SkipPrevious</button>

Button ID 15 and 18 will not work for those who installed BTStack. Will need the latest SMFramework from tomcool with the BREvent id conflict resolved. Not sure if that has been released yet.

If you are already using a joystick.AppleRemote.xml file, make sure to update that to the latest official one that is included in the new build. You can grab a copy directly from github here: https://github.com/xbmc/atv2/blob/atv2/s...Remote.xml

At the moment my Harmony is just set up as an AppleTV remote. How do set it up in the Logitech software to take advantage of these new settings?
