NTATV Remote Driver

LibUSB-based remote control and front-LED driver for the original Apple TV when running Windows NT.

Status

Reading button presses from the remote works perfectly, along with changing the LED state. The driver doesn't do anything useful with the remote output as of yet, just outputs it to the screen.

Installation

• Download the remote.exe from this GitHub repository.
• Download version 1.2.7.3 of libusb-win32.
• On the Apple TV, extract the zip, then naviate to the bin\x86 folder.
• Run install-filter-win.exe and install a filter driver for the hardware ID vid:05ac pid:8241 rev:0312 mi:00. Repeat this process for the hardware ID vid:05ac pid:8241 rev:0312.
• Copy libusb0_x86.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and rename it to libusb0.dll
• Copy libusb0.sys to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers
• Reboot
• Run remote.exe
• See the magic happen!

Credits

This driver is heavily based on atvclient by Christoph Cantillon and Peter Korsgaard. My driver removes all Kodi/XBMC components and just outputs information to the screen.

This driver uses libusb-win32, a Windows port of libusb 0.1.
