Loving my Apple TV, however it would be fun to have this fixed.


I have a bunch of remotes, and i dont like i dont have the option to change the volume with the remote. Many songs have different volume levels, and its a hassle changing remote all the time.

Dunno why, as this should be a easy fix.

Second.

Would be fun to have a "stretch to fill screen" button. Like quicktime player x has.

got alot of old family guy/american dad, and yes i know it gets stretched, but it just looks dumb in 4:3 format.
 
1) Grab a universal remote, or have the Apple TV "learn" a bunch of buttons from the STB mode of your TV remote, or the TV mode of your STB remote. Then you'd have volume control on the same remote as Apple TV control. Yay! (unless you use an iPhone/iPad)

2) It'll come soon, I'd bet. The iPad/iPhone have it. Apple are busy figuring out which esoteric button combination to assign it to. (well, zooming anyway)

I don't tend to agree with stretching/scaling, though, ends up looking awful!

You should be able to do this already. I know you can for music on ATV mk1
 
My Harmony One remote is working fine with my ATV2 and previously with my original ATV. On a side note, can't you just turn the Sound Check feature on with your ATV? I thought that setting was supposed to make sure that all the songs in your library played automatically at basically the same sound level so that you didn't have to keep adjusting the level manually on every different song. Cheers!
