[mythtv-users] AppleTV with Linux

[Ben Firshman]

My progress for HDMI audio:

and
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2008-March/006595.html

.. and I seem to have hit a brick wall. It all appears to be working  
from alsa, but there's probably some special switch/register on the  
Apple TV that needs flipping. Or maybe the 1390 chip in the Apple TV  
is slightly different somehow to the 1392 which already has ALSA  
support.

Another thing - are you sure it's the 1930 chip in the Apple TV? The  
model shows up as 1390 to ALSA.

Also, the IR receiver only appears to pick up signals from some  
remotes. I have yet to find a remote to record which has enough  
buttons though!
