Woot! Good job thanks man.

The only thing I would suggest is rather than removing the last installed .deb file, why not give the option to keep the last .deb file in case there are issues with the latest nightly?

I highly recommend AGAINST automating a nightly download/install. I mean, come on, it's like two commands, wget to fetch and dpkg -i to install.

If you rely on a script to download/install, then you will be lost when it comes time to revert or remove a bad nightly.

Well, to be fair, there's a *little* more to it than that Smile

You have to go find the name of the last nightly too, copy/paste it into Terminal, etc. Agreed, the step-by-step process is not exactly onerous, but..... "./xbmcup.sh" is pretty simple to type in.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by saying we'll be "lost" if we've been using a script and need to revert/remove a nightly. Are you saying we won't know how?

I get the following error:

You need to change -ios in the regex with -atv2. I think the script is old and needs an update.

Cool thanks

There's one script for ATV2 and one for iPad (iOS). Check posts 1 and 2 in the thread. They are similar, but not interchangable.
