I'm stuck. There's no Launcher in my ATV menu.

I was using the v3.2.1 Launcher on a fresh 3.0.1 ATV.

That log looks definitely like Launcher 3.1.
Please make sure you're using Launcher 3.2.1. Maybe just redo the installation?

I am using Launcher 3.1 now, but i do not see 3.2 in the downloads list at all. Any benefits to upgrade to 3.2 over 3.1? I am using ATV OS 2.x and xbmc 9.11b2 at the moment.

Should I stick to 3.1 or upgrade to 3.2?

I'd say stick with 3.1.
Launcher 3.2.1 is only a compatibility release for newer ATVs (>=3.0). It should work on < 3.0 ATVs, too, but as we haven't got much feedback from ATV 2.x users, we didn't make the update available in Launcher's downloads.

Is this the correct current instructions using the current non-beta launcher files from googlecode? I copied the instructions from the other post and changed the file name/location:

Step 1. If you have not let your Apple TV update to 3.0.1 and want to try it you need to turn the updates back on and let it update. If you did a factory restore you need to have it update to 3.0, or if you are already at 3.0.1 read on.

Step 2. After it has updated to 3.0.1 apply your patchstick as normal, this is done to get SSH capability back.

Step 3. Log into your Apple TV via SSH using a tool like putty.exe, download link is here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s.../download.html

Step 4. Then type (no quotes) "wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/files/Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run"

Step 5. Then type (no quotes)"chmod +x Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run"

Step 6. Then type (no quotes)"./ Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run" and enter the appropriate password (like it says, usually "frontrow") and answer "y" when it asks to restart the finder.

Go back to your ATV now, there should be a "Launcher" option. Download XBMC and install as usual. At this time it does not fix Boxee.

However DO NOT update Launcher as it will install version 3.1 and you will lose the "Launcher" options...yeah I learned that the hard way! ;-)

Code:
Here we go:
1) "patchstick" the 3.0 ATV
2) ssh into it and download Launcher-3.2.beta3-debug.run
3) install Launcher chmod +x Launcher.. ; ./Launcher-3.2...
4) install XBMC with Launcher or just re-symlink your old install (ln -s /Users/frontrow/Applications/XBMC.app /Applications/XBMC.app)
5) test

I'm sorry, but step 2 and 3 are total gibberish to me... :-( I can "ssh into it", but then how did I download the launcher, using wget maybe? And what is the exact command to install the launcher after downloaded?


- jpf55 - 2010-01-01

After you ssh into frontrow,

Code:
wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/858897/XBMC/Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run

chmod +x Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run

./Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run

I have followed the instructions multiple times. I was able to ssh into the apple tv and to download beta3. However, I am having trouble with the permission and running the program. Here is the code from terminal.

-bash-2.05b$ wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/files/Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run

I am assuming the 1 after "run.1" is because it was the 2nd time I downloaded the file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's "./Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run", Not "/ Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run", see the period and slash are right next to the name.

Have a great night!

Hi, I've read the whole Thread and saw most of the people are here because they got an unwanted atv update to either 3 or 3.0.1.

I am actually using an ATV 2.3 with Launcher 3.1 and XBMC 9.04.1 R20677. I was willing to test the new XBMC 9.11 directly downloaded from the launcher downloads.

Should I update to ATV 3.x, Launcher 3.2.1 for this or should I stay as I am and just update XBMC and Boxee? Is there any benefit to update the ATV from 2.x to 3.x?

Thanks and good job with XBMC Smile

If its working ok for you then dont update, no real benefits with ATV 3.0.1 over 2.3.

Camelot 9.11 runs on ATV 2.x -> 3.x and Launcher > 3.1.


- lorenvazquez - 2010-01-07

Thank you very much Amet for your advice, I'll check XBMC 9.11 tonight Smile

New user to XBMC. Currently running it on my Mac and am loving it so far. I intend to update my ATV using the information from this thread. Thank you to the Devs for all of your hard work on this and for sharing it with the rest of us. I noticed early in the thread (yes I read nearly all 18 pages) that the composite wasn't working and haven't seen much mention of it since. Does 3.2.1 support composite or should I grab myself an HDMI cable?
