If I update to the latest firmware and install the latest nightly, I am curious if my current skin in Dharma will work. I'm using Aeon MQ2. I'm a bit attached to it. Has anyone tried this?

error unpacking latest nightly - bogman - 2011-06-05

Hi folks,
Long time reader / first time poster so apologies in advance if this is not the right place to ask this..

I just tried upgrading to the latest nightly using the usual commands for keiths build and get an error on the dpkg step:

I had been running the latest nightly on 4.1.1 but I just upgraded to the latest apple tv firmware 4.2.2(2203) with seasonpass and installed the latest official xbmc via nito before attempting to install the nightly as recommended. I have blocked the apple urls in my hosts file, and i have installed updatebegone, other than that it is a clean system.

Any help much appreciated

It looks like you have downloaded 5 copies of latest_atv2.deb and the latest being latest_atv2.deb.5. The latest_atv2.deb is probably bad - maybe you cancelled the download before it was finished.

Try dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb.5

Freeze on Startup

I upgraded AppleTV to 4.3 and installed May 16 build. Good work guys.. Except few add-on issues.. it's awesome. I'm happy that i'm able to play mms streams.
I have issue from yesterday. When the app starts it freezes.. only way to use it is to reboot Apple TV.

Platform AppleTV2
Version of iOS 4.2.2
Build version number and date compiled 16 May 2011
Install Method apt-get and copied over XBMC/userdata and xbmc/addons folder from last official build

Skin Name : AEON

Problem:
App freezes after startup.. But not always, i'm able to use it once in 2nd or 3rd attempt.

Any help will be appreciated.

I had the same issue with Aeon MQ2. I switched to another skin and it works fine. I was lucky in the sense that the freezing would only start after a few seconds, time enough tor me to go to settings>appearance and switch skins. Took me a few attempts, but I got it in the end.

Hi,

Can someone confirm to me, please, if nightlies for the ATV2 are published daily? If they are not, I'm sorry to ask, but in that case I know I should not keeping looking for a more updated one (I'm starting to go mad by now).

Is there a shedule for the publications? Or are they just published when ready?

Thanks very much!

Published when keith has time... best bet is to check his download URL to see what the date is on the latest .deb file.

Thanks. That worked.

Sorry guys, I have been having problems with my build, plus catching back up to work since vacation.
(Ok, I admit it, WWDC week is happening in my neighborhood so I've been out entirely too late all week)

Right now my build is crashing on remote library. I hope to get a chance to debug it more tomorrow. If not, I will still release the build to a few folks to see if they have the problem, if they don't I will release the build. (and redo my own setup)

Expect great things with the new build! Horizontal skin is awesome, props to Jezz_X.

Please, I need an help.
Where is the menu to disable the subtitles? In the official release it's appear during the playback with a long menu pressure.

It's a long Select press, actually.
