[AppleTV2]HOWTO Enable BT Keyboard support

kiwikenji · 2012-01-08 04:32

I've tried both SSH and NiTO installations I still cant get a keyboard to connect. I can pair my keyboard & BTStack is able to find it, however when I select the keyboard it gets stuck on connecting and nothing happens. I'm trying this on the following keyboards:

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 8000
Logitech diNovo Mini

What am I missing Confused

?

A cursory google search reveals this link which appears to be what ATV2 is using:
http://code.google.com/p/btstack/

Info on there will probably be able to point you in a better direction.

Looks like it is a known issue..

I can't get my norwegian apple bt keyboard to work! won't pair/detect. I guess it's because of the language.. Does anyone know how to fix this? Would appreciate it ALOT! Thanks.
