Evinyatar, any luck this weekend? I finally managed to make linux@atv work, so I might dig into code and try to make it send remoteid+code.
zeldi Wrote:Sure,
here is the patch file,
and here is the full atvclient.cpp
I did some more testing today, and hopefully all buttons are now mapped correctly.

is there anything else I need to do to get my harmony 700 set up properly?
actually, come to think of it, I probably can't leave it in ATV device mode, right or an activity built around the ATV itself as a device?
feikenberg Wrote:I'm about to test the recently postet AppleTV Crystalbuntu (Ubuntu Linux and Crystal HD) Disk Image.
Could someone be so kind and post a step by step guide on how to get my Harmony remote with all available buttons to work with the ATV? I think I have read all the post about it, but im still kind of lost here.
zeldi Wrote:-Install Ubuntu
-Download atvclient from github
-replace atvclient.cpp with the one from my link
-compile and install atvclient as described in original atvclient README
-on harmony, add new computer->media center pc->Plex (manufactrer)->Plex player (device)
-and it should work
feikenberg Wrote:Thank you for you answer! I did all that with the USB image, but had no success. I had no error messages, had to perform a "sudo apt-get install libusb-dev" though, so I suppose I did it right, but my Harmony continues to behave like a normal ATV remote.

i set a custom button to OSD, mapped to F5 (as per http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=55660). when pressed it doesn't bring up the OSD, it instead pauses. it seems I am still working on a ATV remote button limitation. not sure what i am doing wrong here...
zeldi Wrote:Are all other buttons working as expected? Please send me the hex code which you get when you press the F5 button on your remote; how to do it-pls see my reply to feikenberg.
