Seems to have disabled the iPad Apple ‘Remote App’ for me. I miss being able to use this. Anyone else have this happen?

The remote app seems pretty cool here. I don’t seem to be having any of the problems mentioned and audio, video and picture streaming all work with my two Gen1 AppleTV units once the plugin was installed through a terminal with SSH (both are already hacked). This is what I bought it for (Airplay on old Gen1 AppleTV units).

The really cool thing is that I can view what’s on my AppleTV’s screen. It’s not 30fps, but I’ve never seen anything else be able to remote view AppleTV (same can be done for the Mac/PC). The trackpad mode was smooth on my iPodTouch 4G. I can actually use mouse mode on XBMC with it (like having a blue tooth trackpad).

I did have a lockup using some button I wasn’t even sure what it was for (think it’s fullscreen/window button), but other than that, it seemed to work well so far. The app works in XBMC mode as well which means I can finally control XBMC on my AppleTV from my iPod Touch. The remote control app works on my old Gen1 iPod Touch as well, but Airplay doesn’t work there since iOS 3.x doesn’t support it.

I’m not crazy about the $8 price given the site for it still says it’s on sale for $4, but it was worth it to get Airplay to work on my two old Generation 1 AppleTVs. There’s even a keyboard mode for text (something Apple’s own Remote App can’t do) and it works in XBMC and AppleTV.

I should add to the question, how to uninstall the app via CLI?

I love Remote HD when I’m using it to control my Mini connected to a projector. However I tried the solution listed here for Airplay and I no longer have video to my ATV Menu. I suspect the Remote HD install might have something to do with this.

My question: How do I uninstall Remote HD from the ATV?
