I've managed to get the ATV back up-and-running by disconnecting the LAN cable and streaming via Wi-Fi, thus not being controlled from Crestron. I could then access the Maintenance menu again, ext. I then reconnected the LAN cable to test again and found the following:
1) Song title not displayed correctly, ex: should be: (Don't Go Back To) Rockville is showing as: (Don't Go Back To) Rockville
I had the same issue with 'o Solo Mia
2) Scrolling up/down a list of media requires double presses
3) Sometimes the title (name$) doesn't update, but the artist, album and album art did.
4) Selecting a movie after listening to music doesn't clear the artist and album text fields. Would also be great if the album art would clear if there was no album art, like it displays "Nothing playing" when nothing is playing. It then clears the fields.
5) Ffwd and rew works perfectly when watching movies.
The aTV Flash (black) 2.0 Media Player also has metadata fetching enabled and it will start displaying pictures from the current playing artist, ext. I wonder it this doesn't put my crappy network under stress. However with it disabled the album art doesn't update.

Hi,
I tested your module this morning and it works great. The only thing I found was that ffwd and rew didn't properly work while listening to music and scrolling up and down required multiple presses, or delays between presses to move up/down through the list of albums, ext. I'm not sure if it is your module, but since I've installed AirControl the ATV2 seems temperamental in that it keeps freezing, doesn't want to show the Maintenance/Install Extras menu any more, ext.
Some notes on my setup:
1) ATV2 with software 4.4.4
2) aTV Flash (black) 2.0
3) Only installed the Media Player and AirControl(beta) from the Maintenance menu
4) ATV and NAS with media connected via cables to the network
5) Crestron QM-RMC with Xpanel exe
Thank you for sharing!

HTTP is port 80
The format is as follows:
GET /remoteAction=1\x20HTTP/1.0\nHost:192.168.1.100\n\n

I'm working on a module to control the Apple TV over AirControl, when done will upload.

If your AppleTV has a serial port on it, then it's not an AppleTV. Try again.
If it is a first generation AppleTV (hint: it's silver and hot!) then yes, there is an IP module availble from Autonomic Controls. [].
If it is an AppleTV 2 or 3 (black and small) then IR is your best bet. If you can jailbreak it and ensure that it will remain jailbroken there is the possibilty of IP control [].
