VNC Access to ATV2 and XMBC - Spidermaus - 2011-03-12

Hi,

when I access my ATV2 via VNC I can fully control the ATV2 and all it's applications. But when I enter XBMC on ATV2 I just see a black screen in my VNC client.

Does somebody know how to solve this? Or is XBMC running in a kind of "sandbox" so that I can not see it in VNC?

Best Regards,
Andre

VNC clients with xbmc on ATV2 don't work. OpenGLES does not share an IOSurface.

Hello, 2 days ago I installed VNC server onto ATV2 and was abble to get access to the XBMC interface via a VNC client, this without any problem !

So VNC with XBMC on ATV2 was working perfectly, ... I write "was" because, for any reason that I don't understand, now I can't reach anymore XBMC via VNC, ... I can control perfectly ATV2, but as soon as I launch XBMC then, indeed a black screen.

I think I've been playing at bit with installing/unistalling several NitoTV add-on and this corrupted somehow the VNC setup which was working perfectly before.
