Hi All,
I have 2 Apple TV's - a gen 1 and a gen 2. I also have 2 Logitech Harmony One remotes setup to control these. Everything works great and I can control XBMC using the remote as per the Apple Remote on both machines.
However, I see now that in Eden Beta 1 I can use additional buttons from the remote to perform extra commands on the ATV 2.
These are mentioned in the apple remote keymap as below :
This is an absolutely brilliant bonus and is a massive improvement over the standard apple remote.
However I notice that the same keys don't work on the Apple TV 1. (I can see that the device has received the command (light flashes) but isn't processed in XBMC.)
My question is, is this to be expected? i.e. these button IDs should in ATV2 but not ATV1? Is there some code in the iOS version that allows this to happen which isn't present in the Intel code? Or is it restricted by the hardware?
Cheers for any insight.

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>
