Hi All. Computer geek in Denver, CO looking for some clarification on which set of instructions to use...
I'm looking to go from an old version of xbmc running on ios on ATV1... TO: xbmc running on linux (Crystalbuntu)
I found the below guides, which seem like they may be incomplete (especially the openelec part).
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...)#OpenELEC
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...Apple_TV_1
Also, I didn't find instructions on how to (or if I should bother) backing up the current install.
I understand that the components are:
1) "you will want to make sure that your ATV1 has been updated to the original ATV OS 3.0.2 at least once in order to flash the HDMI controller firmware. You also want to change the original ATV OS settings to "RGB High" in the AV settings"
2) install Crystalbuntu
3) do something pertaining to OpenELEC, which I understand is a portable linux install. I'm not clear if this is only if I want openelec instead of CrystalBuntu?
I am a pretty seasoned computer geek with experience with several UNIX distros. I just want to make sure I have a good set of instructions because I don't want to tear my hair out on this install. I have a ton of other geeky projects right now and want to avoid accruing another time consuming one.
I am hoping this post also serves as constructive feedback on the existing wiki articles, and perhaps food for updating them. Thank you so much for your help!!
