He's referring to the little event client (SDL app) that Topfs2 wrote that sends XBMCk keyboard events. Davilla and some others have been using it as a keyboard emulator for Apple TV.
loonix, currently, I don't think anyone has compiled it on Windows, so you might be out of luck. However it's quite easy to do. Also, know that XBMC has a built in web server which you can enable and use to control it (by just pointing your browser to the Apple TV's IP address). Settings->Network->Web Server

I'm pretty excited about XBMC running on my AppleTV already, but I'd like to see if anyone has some straightforward answers for a couple of deceptive questions I have. I'm a seasoned Machead and an iPhone hackery extraordinaire, but I'm having trouble entering into the XBMC "realm" with AppleTV.
1. How does one enable SSH to the AppleTV? Is a hardmod required, or would my patchstick from Boxee have enabled it?
2. Once SSH is enabled, is it possible to connect to the AppleTV via an SSH-combatible Mac FTP client such as Transmit? If so, what can I expect to place in the server, username, password, port, and initial path columns?
3. Would SSH allow me to change skins? Place media on XBMC?
4. What is the most common way to get your media (music, movies, TV shows, all non-DRM) onto XBMC on AppleTV?
Thanks to everyone in advance. If anyone needs help with the iPhone, you know who to call.

Its still possible to stream content to the ATV right? Im looking at buying one of these, but I want to make sure that it can do everything I want it to.
