If you are a dev: https://github.com/Memphiz/xbmc/commits/edenios51 <- last 3 commits
If not - you won't understand ...

Well, I'm QA on an iOS dev team, and I've picked up a little coding here and there, so I might be able to understand. Thanks for posting the gitthub link, I'll have a look.

Where have i gone wrong?

---

ahh the 1 is now a 2 in the command..

hi there,

i'vd try to upgrade but i'd received an error. what am i'm doing wrong ?

http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/2847/tyydm5vn_png.htm

Had a typo in the install instructions (fixed) ... the filename changed from 11.0-1 to 11.0-2 ... so just change that in your instructions. Please stop quoting the download link - in case that dropbox goes locked again (should not happen this time) i have to remove those!

I have a 52" panasonic TV and I had to adjust the zoom to -6% to see it on the screen if that helps at all?

Thats normal for some TVs. It would be a bug, when the window is not centered or when its rotated 90 degrees. The normal overscan (your 6%) is some setting of the TV (mostly you have a setting in the TV itself - something like "scan&pan" or "overscan") for fixing it without zooming.

thanks for your amazing work. I really appreciate this.
Unfortunately I get an error on my fresh installation:

AppleTV:~ root# dpkg -i org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-2_iphoneos-arm.deb

so what is missing?

I do have the folder: /Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances
and there's a link in it: XBMC.frappliance -> /Applications/XBMC.frappliance
but /Applications/XBMC.frappliance doesn't exist.

I think you missed on running:

before installing.

sorry, I edited my post afterwards, I made this folder in advance, but the aim is missing

You missed the apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 after creating that folder? (for installing the previous cydia version and its deps). Muh that installation issues suck. Just mkdir all dirs he is complaining about
