AppleTV remote support

[vodkaMember]

Just got a CuBox and it’s a great little gizmo running GeeXbox, any chance the (current silver) AppleTV remote could be supported by GeeXbox ??

It’s a nice simple remote that is very easy to acquire but it doesn’t seem to work under GeeXbox. I think it does under Openelec on PC’s.

The XBMC wiki mentions on how to make AppleTV remote work under arch linux
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Apple_remote

Some sort of atvclient for linux and XBMC
https://github.com/Evinyatar/atvclient

Maybe those are useful, I’ve no clue one way or the other : )

So it looks like the Geexbox nightly builds for the CuBox-i dont have the IR module loaded if I’m reading that right or dont have MCE emulation enabled out of the box for some crazy reason which is why my attempts to use an MCE remote and an AppleTV remote failed.

Frustrating to say the least.

While I’m here someone managed to get the xbox one remote working, it would be useful to add that into geexbox also as it’s actually a nice remote
