Apple Remote Sideways Repeat
#1
Question 
I'm assuming it is a remote limitation, but is there a way to get the apple remote to repeat the right/left commands. If a list is horizontal you have to keep tapping the button.

Yes its frustratingly annoying in STARK I can tell you.

You are not alone.

The internal IR recevier does not pass right/left hold on AppleTV OS <=2.1 .

What is the version of your AppleTV OS ?

Hmm, I'm on 2.1 -- I disabled the auto update thing. Guess I'll have to figure that out to get this feature.

ssh in , nano /etc/hosts, remove the block, save file, exit, reboot, done

I have the same problem on OSX with my Harmony remote. It work's fine with Plex for hold left/right but not XBMC with the latest XBMCHelper. Any ideas?

I'm on 2.2. I'll try updating tonight to 2.3 to see if I get better results.

updating isn't needed. Launcher 3.1 should enable left/right repeat on 2.2, too. It's currently in testing and if we see no issues will be released soon.

please see this thread for avoiding the confusion next time.

cheers,
