How to remap Apple TV 2 remote buttons

Asked By coury timmons 20 points N/A Posted on - 06/30/2014

I have an Apple TV 2 and I want to remap the remote buttons in XBMC. Is this actually possible? How can I make the up and down buttons to skip chapters and not the volume keys? Can I use Cyberduck to make an SFTP connection to my TV? Please help.

HELLO

 

 

It will same as on the pc. Please use cyber duck for connection in SFTp to ATV'2 by entering username and password.

 

To make your apple remote up/down control for next chapter or last chapter.

Copy and paste this code and save as joystick.appleremote.xml.
