Sorry guys. Still trying to get things working here. I've got a Harmony 520. Followed the instructions on the first page (skipping parts B and C, as I've got XBMC 9.11 Camelot installed)
If I go to System Prefs -> Security, I do not have an Unpair button, so that leads me to believe that there are no paired remotes with the Mac, but if I run XBMC, the Harmony does Mac volume, and starts/stops iTunes music.
So I did the Plex for the Harmony device, set all the buttons according to the first post. In XBMC, I have Apple Remote set to Multi Remote (Harmony), but nothing I do on the Harmony controls XBMC.
Any ideas?
Never mind. All of a sudden it started magically working. Thanks!

Ive got this working and its awesome, thanks guys. The only issue I am having is sometimes when I press 'down' it just keeps going down (equivalent of about 20 presses, and occasionally indefinitely until another button is pressed). The same thing happens if I press to the left occasionally. Up and right have no issues, nor do any of the other buttons.
Anyone else having that problem?

So what exactly is preventing the AppleTV from being able to use the full 63 button command set when using the ATV OS as opposed to Linux?

I just set up a new Mac Mini (HDMI) with XBMC. It seemed to work reasonably well with my Harmony Remote set to the default "Media Center PC" settings, but a few buttons were missing. I just went through the Harmony setup guide on the first page of this thread, and now, every button only sends the "play" or "stop" command.
I Apologize f this has already been addressed, but I could not find a solution by searching.

I just realized that I still had Remote Buddy running. Once I closed that, everything worked perfectly.

Hey guys, let's see if someone can help me out here. I've just set up my first Harmony remote, a 650 (which can control up to 5 devices). I've setup my activities and devices an everything runs perfectly fine (TV, AV Receiver, Cable box, DVD player and Apple TV).
I noticed that Dharma beta 1 has a Harmony profile for the remote, but I can't seem to figure out how to use it. I've set up the Watch Movie activity to use the Apple TV, so I can use XBMC. But obviously, I only have the Apple TV remote buttons available. How can I configure XBMC? I can't add another device as I already have 5 set up, so I would have to eliminate the Apple TV and replace it with a Plex profile, is that how's suppose to be done? I'm kinda lost here...

So I've been avoiding doing this forever because I'm a Linux noob, and building git checkouts with patches seemed over my head.
I finally dove in and I'm happy to say that this kicks ass. Paired with the latest keymap, it's an absolute massive improvement over the default operation.
Thanks guys!

Is it possible to have an ATV (linux pim87 build) listen for both plex and appletv remote signals?
I set the plex remote up which works really well with my Harmony One (thanks to the various posters for all the instructions). Problem I have is that my ATV is hooked up to a slingbox pro so I can access my media when on the road. Try as I might I cannot get the slingbox to work with Plex remote controls. It does have a built in ATV remote control though.
Since I updated to the plex controls though XBMC will not respond to the old apple tv remote.
If this is not possible I guess my follow on question is how to downgrade from the plex remote back to the apple. Sure would miss going from 63 buttons back to 6.

Hi ctawn, i'm a moderator of xbmcspain.com and i liked to use your tutorial (translated of course) in my section of Mac in xbmcspain.
I tried contact with you by PM but you haven't this option in your profile.
Regards.
