I was listening to music from the appletv connected on my HIFI, chsoing teh music with teh appleremote app on ipad and then decided to put it on standby.
For that i connected to the appletv using RemoteHD and found the frontrow menu frozen at the first item Movies. No way of moving around . Same of course if I put the TV on.
I checked my remote, and it is OK. That is not the problem.
I still can connect with ssh , but the menu stays frozen. I ran the diagnostics, and the Appletv is OK. I shutdown, unplugged everything, and let it rest for a day. Restart and again, menu is blocked at first item, and no icons are shown. I still can connect with ssh, but the apple remote application (from ipad) cannot find anymore my Appletv library.
I suspect one of the plugins to have run wild after last update (all updates applied) . Is there anyway I can disable plugins ? the only solution I see is a factory restore, and if I would rather not do that.
thanks but no, it does not work. Just restarted the ATV. If i click any remote button, it flashes (normal white). Unpairing does not respond.Ie shows nothing, and behaviour of the remote always the same. If I do menu and -, it shows me the screen with restart, diagnostic and restore. I ran diagnostics and all OK
It looks like a software problem, Like if frontrow crashed, frozen at:
cursor is on Movies My movies.
I only see in fact: MyMovies and Trailers, on the movies menu, nothing else. Then the usal other menu titles
On top of the menu titles there is nothing - not the usual movie artwork. void .
I have same problem, I rebooted but Apple TV 2 4.4.4 menu comes up and stay frozen. I cannot select XBMC or settings at all by using silver remote and I even try iPhone Remote and iPad remote but doesn’t work.
