Sam thanks for this image, would it be possible to include airplay support ?
A person here has outlined instructions on getting it working under XBMC Live, hopefully it wouldn't take much more to get it working on your setup. I tried it myself but I couldn't make any progress with it. Airplay even only for video and photos working out of the box so to speak would be great.

i double on this.. hopefully this could be integrated or at least someone would be kind and show the commands needed in order to get it working
i see that it requires python 2.6 and as i see sams image is only 2.5.2?

I have 2 atvs that are running the pin87a (updated to latest xbmc/chd) image off the internal hard drive. would there be any advantages to going with this image instead? Has anyone migrated from pin87 to this that can attest to increases in performance?
also, I have 1 bcmxx12 card and 1 bcmxx15 card. i'm running 174 on the 15 and something else (i forgot) on the 12 - something to do with DMA buffers, honestly it was a while back. Is this addressed or is it a non-issue at this point?

Already answered this a couple of times. Unlikely to happen on Hardy

This image is far more refined, includes auto updates. The DMA buffers is now 8 again, which is optimum for aTV
404 installer/.sh not found - tfittsy - 2011-04-10 20:29
Are you doing work on the installer script? I'm trying to run the install image and it errors our right at the beginning of the script when it tries to download the .sh install script from your site. Network is working as I was able to get the .crystalshd.sh but that one gives me a bunch of other errors.
- Sam.Nazarko - 2011-04-10 20:46
No I'm not doing any active work. I finalised some changes earlier. There is no file called installer.sh. It's supposed to be installer/.distrochoice.sh. Did you restore the image using the UI tool or did you just restore it yourself -- because using dd or restoring it yourself does not inject the Ubuntu distro choice, which is why your error exists

This is the error before asking for a login:

As I said, I tried downloading .crystalhd.sh but when I run that one I get:
crystalhd.sh: line 1: zenity: command not found
crystalhd.sh: line 2: zenity: command not found
crystalhd.sh: line 3: zenity: command not found
crystalhd.sh: line 4: zenity: command not found
This is from booting the installer USB image.

nevermind, I guessed it was ubuntu even though the /.distro it was trying to cat didn't exist. Seems to be working now.

I have made it work
You do need to update python to 2.6 -> http://www.lysium.de/blog/index.php?/archives/229-Installing-Python-2.6-on-Ubuntu-8.04.html
and the DNS updater from the install readme.

Sam,
A slight modification to the linux installer would be nice. I decided to play with Ubuntu and VMware. Wouldn't you know, no parted installed. So, after waiting for the download, the script bonks due to no parted. I apt-get it, and then the script begins again. It gets really mad at me this time because /dev/sdb wasn't available due to operator error. Begin again...
If there's a way to have it check and see if there's a current image downloaded, that might save some of us donkeys at least 15 minutes... (Yes, smarter souls would just read the script and start wherever it cut out, but it would have been much cooler if dd had done its thing while I was getting the boys sorted for school).
Just a thought.
