I thought I had the latest nightly build. I went to the programme addons to find the Xbmc builds repo's and updated from there. However, it is showing the Dharma 10.1

How do I load the nightly build onto my ATV1. I downloaded it through the repos but it does not load?!

Any ideas please?

Cheers,

M

See the first post in [thread=67078]this thread[/thread].
You need to modify something to be able to see the latest builds.

Can you explain exactly how you did what you have done so far?

hi jabba 29!

First thing - for an ATV1 what nightly build do I download? I can not see the option for ATV1 in this http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/ or this http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/

Once I know I can do it I'll fill you in on the details on how to launch.

Thanks,

M

its a standard osx installation package

if you do what jabba_29 suggested it will show up in Launcher menu and you can install from there

OK...so I downloaded latest nightly within XBMC which is XBMC-20110904-a2098db-master-ios

Then I launched Advanced Launcher, in programs, found the above file selected it, screen goes blank for 1 sec and then back to the same screen.

What am I doing wrong?!

I think I am nearly there....any help please?!

what?

first, do not use XBMC-20110904-a2098db-master-ios ,it clearly says its for iOS and I said its osx standard package

second, exit xbmc, ssh in to your ATV1, do what we suggested and visit this thread, after you have done that, Launcher -> downloads in your ATV1 home menu(not Advanced Launcher addon in your xbmc ) will have the new entry that points to the latest nightly

[mikseymono]

OK,

Thanks for this.

Will attack it and report later.

Cheers,

[mikseymono]

OK,

Downloaded latest OSX, thanks for this.

However, cant seem to put the code in via SSH (terminal) or Fugu.

For the code I ssh into ATV1 and paste defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array-add http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/osx/update_urls.plist - but not working

The forum says "To get them, you'll need to add an additional update source to Launcher. Check 'defaults --help' on how to do it"

Be gentle please.......

Thanks,

M

[amet]

you need to be logged in as frontrow user and not root, is that what you did?

read through that thread, it has everything you need to get it working

[mikseymono]

thanks Amet,

I can't seem to put the code in. I am going in as frontrow user.

This is what I do:

I ssh into ATV1

Put in frontrow password

Then...I am usure on the next step.

Do I just paste in 'defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array-add http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/osx/update_urls.plist'

when I hit enter it says ' -bash-2.05b$ '

Am I any closer?!

Step by step guide. If something goes wrong I want you to tell me exactly which step you got stuck at:

1. Find out the IP address of the Apple TV 1. You can check your router for this information or open up XBMC and go to System/Settings and press right to get the submenu (I'm assuming you are using the default skin). Then select "System info". Now select "Network" and look at "IP address". It should give you a number. Write this number down.

2. Open up terminal.app (if you are on a mac) or Putty (if you are on windows) and type in this:

Code:

ssh frontrow@IP-ADDRESS-FROM-STEP-ONE

3. it will ask for a password. The password is "frontrow".

4. Now type in (or copy and paste) this into the terminal window and then press return

Code:

defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array-add http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/osx/update_urls.plist

5. Now close Terminal.app or Putty or whatever on your computer. Exit out of XBMC on the Apple TV 1 if it is still open. Go to the Launcher and then Downloads

6. There should be a new entry here for XBMC with some numbers in the name. Select that to download it. If you don't see this entry you might need to reboot the Apple TV 1 and look for the download again.

7. After the download is done then you should have the latest nightly XBMC!

Brilliant!

Thanks Ned Scott and amet for all your patience/help.

install dharma 10.1 version from downloads

would be helpful to see why nightly is not working for you, see my signature for a debug log how-to
