Ok I've installed everything except for the startup files that you have included, I'm not really sure as to what they do exactly. BTW my harmony 550 works beautifully :D. Now I just need to be able to update to nightlies without XBMC crashing and I'll be uber excited. I've got everything working

The 4x repeat is normal and isn't causing your delay. The delay you're seeing is normal for harmony remotes and has to do with the various timings between key presses, etc. If you look around you'll likely find something telling you which timings you can tweak on the logitech configuration side to

OK, Done and done. I've installed atvtool 0.2 and got it to kill the led in front. Unfortunately no led is my only option. When Ubuntu starts with the tool loaded the LED is white and lirc is completely broken. I have to SSH in an run atvtool -r to give control back, and that also turns led

Awesome, Since there is that problem we found with the svn builds, how would you propose getting the crystalhd support into a build I can use. I am loving the maasive performance increase in the UI already. When I get everything down I may do it again from scratch to clean up the system from

PS... if you install XBMC SVN, I found that I had to delete the .xbmc folder that the new XBMC created in the xbmc user's home directory. Otherwise I had problems with SQLite db's that it created when going back to the stable version (they weren't compatible). As always, let me know if that

Really? I did an install of Ubuntu loosely based on this: http://wiki.eple.us/appletv_ubuntu_9.10_xbmc And my system works fine, although I don't use the svn nightlies... but that's just a matter of using the SVN PPA for XBMC. It's not XBMCLive. Whoever wrote it got a number of the commands
