Hi all,
Today I got Openelec.tv, a fast booting and small embedded XBMC distribution (< 90MB), to work on the ATV! (For more information about openelec.tv see http://www.openelec.tv)
I used the OpenELEC.tv - generic - 32bit snapshot and tested it using the atv-bootloader. It worked directly, currently we (Stephan from Openelec.tv) are busy making and testing a dedicated ATV image. So all the ATV stuff (like remote, Crystal HD etc) is included and all stuff which is not necessary is excluded.
Now (without the Crystal HD) the menu works great and some 720P movies i tested play oke. Let's wait for the crystal HD support.
CPU usage in GUI +/- 11%:
From the second kernel boot it boots in 10-15 sec. We are trying to skip the double boot.
When we made some more progress and a dedicated ATV image i will make a howto.
Regards,
Mark
