Thanks, it worked flawlessly. I just have one problem: I bought the "advanced" remote with my ATV1200, the one with keyboard on it. On XDA build some of the keys don't work (ex. lower volume button). I had the same issue on JynxBox version. On jynxbox I copied the remote.conf from first post of this thread via ssh to my ATV1200 and rebooted the device, but this didn't help. Do you have any suggestion on what to do to make all of the keys on my remote work on the XDA build? Just to mention, I don't have this issue on Geniatech XBMC build.
Thanks in advance.

Try this. If the Geniatech remote.conf worked, then copy it from the Geniatech .img or .zip file you used to install Geniatech with. The remote.conf is not in the read only .sqsh partition, but at it's usual spot in etc/xbmc. Compare the two files, but you can probably drop the Geniatech remote.conf file right into etc/xbmc and have it working with a reboot. If not, post the remote.conf here as 'code'.

Also, if you modify the etc/samba/smb.conf file like this:

Code:
[Root]
path = /
read only = no
public = yes
writable = yes
browseable = yes
force user = root
force group = root

...you will have full read/write control over the root file system. Files can be saved from 'notepad' on a Windows machine and copied or moved with Windows Explorer or Mac's Finder over the local network. It makes it easy to break things too, so beware!

The other samba folders defined in the XDA version are also read/write, so you have access and control of any USB sticks or SD card plugged into the ATV.

I tried the same thing you proposed on Jynxbox. The Geniatech Linux build has several remote conf files in /etc/xbmc folder:

Code:
atv106_remote.conf
atv1200_remote.conf
bluem3_remote.conf
gbox_remote.conf
geniatech_remote.conf
mygica-a11_remote.conf
remote.conf
remote-lirc.conf

I copied all of the to my box and rebooted, but nothing changed.

Here's the content of the remote.conf from Geniatech build:

Code:

One more thing: my box freezes if I don't turn it off and want to use it again in a day or two. It's like it freezes when it's in idle for some bigger amount of time. Is this a known issue?
