XBMC Nightly Build on ATV2
#1
So I just recently upgraded my mac to osx Lion in order to take advantage of the features of iCloud for my new iPhone. Little did I know that Lion got rid of support for SMB which is how I streamed my movie and tv show collection to my Apple TV. I love how well it worked and now I am at a loss. I have tried using MediaMaster Server, but it doesn't work as well as I like, and I have seen that there is a way to change the shared folders to AFP. I'd much rather use this way, but in order to do that, from what I understand, I need to have the XBMC nightly build installed on my ATV. At this point I am not able to install the nightly build and I am not sure why. I am running it through terminal and here is the code that it spits out when I do the steps:

any help would be greatly appreciated, I am also worried about rejailbreaking because I don't want to get the newest version of the OS to make my jailbreak not work any more. thanks for the help!

You have not followed the instructions properly.
Open http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/ in your browser. wget the link address of the build you want from that page.

Have a look at this thread. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=108142 It will setup a script on your atv2 to do the update to the latest version for you.

For example, if you wanted last night's build (the latest at the time I write this) you would type in:

wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/xbmc-20111018-832ca62-master-atv2.deb

dpkg -i xbmc-20111018-832ca62-master-atv2.deb

rm xbmc-20111018-832ca62-master-atv2.deb
