snuffwig Wrote:Dope, I've a quick question for you; I found myself in the same boat with regards to playback issues on 11b1, so attempted to run the older build (Sept 19th) that you recommended in a previous post, but upon completing the upgrade installation and attempting to launch XBMC, it crashes back to Apple TV.
I ran through the following...
-Downloaded build from Mediafire using link provided in this thread
-Copied to ATV2 using Filezilla
-Installed via Putty using command line dpkg -i filename
-Removed .deb file
-Rebooted ATV
Apologies for the vague nature of the above, but is there anything I'm doing obviously wrong? Are these the steps you ran through?
With regards to the 11b1 playback issue, from the testing I've done the first MKV I attempt to play will play almost flawlessly, from there on in however I suffer from almost constant buffering - can provide logs if necessary.
I have not had any problems with just over writing each build with the dpkg -i command. I am however on appleTV 4.3 and not the newest one. I have reinstalled each build over the previous one without any issue. You have to some times reboot the ATV device for the new build to take affect.
make sure to check what version of XBMC you have by going to system info.
can you try a hard power cycle of the ATV?
