You don't need to modify anything any more.

Simply Update launcher to 3.2.1 & in the launcher 'settings' menu, you can change the direct boot order.

Choose XBMC, then reboot the xbmc.

Worth to mention... in case of autoboot, you loose the "learned" remote keys.

thanks for info.
but how can i change this then back again?

edit:
i don´t have an option under setting within the launcher menu (this is where i can star xbmc or boxee, correct?) to change boot order. allready using 3.2.1

exit XBMC, enter the same Settings menu on Launcher and change it to AppleTV

under settings of the launcher menu i have only two points:

- use univesal mode
- atv os update enabled

nothing more.
the launcher is version 3.2.1

any ideas?

ssh into your atv and make command:

defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCExpertMode 1

you should have the hidden menu visible

You should have

-universal remote
-os update
- Multifinder This is what you want to turn on.

Monty, is it possible to undo this change afterwards? I guess I mean if you quit xbmc do you quit to finder?

cheers

Hello,

I just enabled the Multifinder and choose XBMC as my default app. However when I reboot I just get a black screen. I can ssh the ATV.

Read something about checking if xbmchelper is running and it seem to be:

Code:

-bash-2.05b$ ps -axww |grep xbmchelper
  156  ??  Ss     0:00.18 /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/XBMCLauncher.frappliance/Contents/Resources/MultiFinder.app/Contents/Resources/xbmchelper -v -u
  169  p0  U+     0:00.00 grep xbmchelper

Now I can't get back to Finder to reset this. How do I revert the change from the console? XBMC was working when I started it manually from Launcher.

Running XBMC svn r28256

Removed:
* xbmc.log: /Users/frontrow/Library/Logs/xbmc.log
* Console log: /Library/Logs/Console/501/console.log
to get clean versions when I booted up but new log files are not created.

Crashreporter log: /Users/frontrow/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/CrashReporter.log
Not existing either.

Hoping to avoid another factory reset

Thanks!

sudo rm -rf /Applications/MultiFinder.app

For some reason /Applications/MultiFinder.app did not exist.
However delete the entry and reboot did the trick!

Thank you for the help!
