I've been using XBMC for ATV2 pretty much since it was released but in the past few months I've been hit with a really frustrating issue. The remote can be, at times, almost completely unresponsive. I can't really tell if it is an XMBC issue or a jailbreak issue with seasonpass so I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
Basically what happens for me is I plug the ATV2 in after I have jailbroken it and installed XBMC. It will start up but it doesn't do anything when you press a button on the remote, even the light doesn't blink. What I end up having to do is repidly press the button I want and normally after several clicks it will register 1 or 2. If I just leave it sit for a while eventually it starts working normally but then when I play a video in XMBC and if I pause it then it will become unresponsive and I just have to press play for, sometimes, minutes.
I don't think it is a battery issue as even when it's not responsive I can hold the play and menu buttons to get it to reset and I've never had an issue with the remote on my macbook pro.
