I replaced it and chmod it 775 (same as the old file), started up atv, went to xbmc settings turned off the IR. still nothing.

Not quite, try;

/Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/XBMCHelper

and "chmod +x" to make it executable.

the file is 140kb the old one was 128kb

i checked to see if the permissions match the old one and they are both exactly the same, still no go with the remote not working

davilla i think i know why its not working, when i dl the file it dls as a text file and not a unix executable. I am in OS X, is there a way you can zip the file up instead?

davilla sorry about that 1st post, i did put it in the exact location all along... at the time when i posted that i didnt remember the exact location so i just typed that. But it's always been in the correct location

this is what i have when i do a directory list in terminal

-rwxr-xr-x 1 frontrow admin 143076 Oct 4 02:30 XBMCHelper

is that right?

Sad 
First I transfer the XBMCHelper to my AppleTV via SFTP and I change the user code to 775 and then I run
Code:
rm rm XBMCHelper
and I get the answer
Code:
No such file or directory

When I first check with ls -l after transfering the file to the AppleTV, the file shows up. But after the command previously witten I disappers. What am I'm doing wrong?

Code:
bash-2.05b# ls -l
total 288

That will switch IR control from Launcher to XBMCHelper
