Right now I have to control the volume of my ATV using my TV’s remote. I see nitoTV and Boxee have volume control, but Sapphire does not.

If I am missing a configuration setting or something, please let me know.

Thanks to the Sapphire team for a most excellent plug-in!

I have a simple question, does anyone know if (or something similiar) is available for a standard Mac? I use a MacMini in my living room and use Front Row to play my AVIs but would much prefer a Sapphire-like application with show info etc.

Thanks

Ferg

“mkv support is mainly a problem because the appletv doesn’t have the cpu power to handle higher bitrate encodes that are frequently in mkv containers if apple did care about hd and in the future offered true hd programs from itunes, you can be sure they’d release an appletv with a better processor to run them. but at this point they probably looked at their available library and said “1GHz ought to be enough”.

If that worked, the appleTV would be my media center of choice 🙁

I’m really looking forward to the next update, looks quite promising…
