[APPLE TV] Apple Remote stops working on the Apple TV

[juamps]

Hi -
I love XBMC on my aTV.

The problem I'm having is that after some time of inactivity or after a few minutes of watching a movie, the remote stops controlling XBMC. I hear the usual "clics" from the aTV but doesn't control XBMC and I have to ssh and reboot my aTV or unplug to get back to business.

I've looked at the other apple remote threads and don't seem to be the same problem. I updated the XBMCHelper file and kepmap.xml. Also tried unpairing/pairing without success.

Any thoughts?

The current fix seem to be to disable the screensaver under frontrow (not XBMC). Some interaction going on.
