you need launcher 0.8 for appletv os r2.3+
I spent a good deal of time trying to get this to work using atv-win-1.0.b11, but would always end up with 0.6 and couldn't update. Finally i looked as the bat files were running and it appears the one without ssh has 0.8, but the other still has 0.6. Wish I had looked earlier!!

I noticed that in the bat files as well but it's only in the comments section. Is this just a typo or do I actually need to use the one without the ssh to get the 0.8 launcher?

IT Geek, but Patchstick newbie here!

Created by following instructions here: Using: atv-win-1.0.b11
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/comments...entsanchor

Stick: 1GB Cruzer
ATV: Updated with current firmware, but not wiped.


Created patchstick ok,..powered ATV off, stick in, and booted. Tux logo appears and patching seems to run okay, but then stops at a login. Cuts off to the left side of the screen (Pioneer 50"), but can make out what looks to be "UNTU Login:___"and flashing curser. After a little while the screen goes black and then nothing. Left it for hrs last night after trying a second time and the same.

Booted up the ATV and nothing has changed,..clearly the update hasen't gone through.

Does the ATV need to be wiped first?
Does it matter that I used Vista and not XP? The stick seemed to create just fine.

Cheers

Any errors seen above the penbuntu login prompt?

Any errors seen above the penbuntu login prompt?

Thanks for the superfast response!

Yes it was the Penbuntu login,..no errors that I could make out. I did actually run through what i could see on the screen. It just looks like its running perfectly, then stops at that login.

what other text can you read, there should be info about what was installed.

Sorry,..currently @ work, but i'll have to run through the process @ home and manually type out some of the data.

Is it worth maybe re-formatting the stick, or trying another? What would you recommend I format to?

Sorry guys, a little bit off topic here, but wanted to know after installing xbmc/boxee on apple tv, would i need to install any additional codecs on apple tv to play xvids/divx files..

no, xbmc for mac contains all the codecs it needs internally and does not use external codecs.

Hello,

I just upgraded atv to 2.4 then I recreated the patchstick via "atv-win-1.0.b8.zip" as described at http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=40446

The patch was fine but the embedded launcher is too old and refuse to update itself to 3.0/3.1. In order to overcome this I had to manually download latest launcher (3.1), push it to atv and execute it.

May I suggest to update the "atv-win-1.0.b8.zip" to embedded more recent launcher ?

Thx!

Hello folks, I've got myself in quite the pickle. I haven't used my ATV in about a month and when I turned it on the other day, it asked me if I wanted to update and by accident I did.

It erased everything including boxee and xbmc. I tried to remember how I created a patchstick and found my atv-win-1.0.b11 folder. I tried to use the USB tool to copy either mk-atv-xbmc-ssh.bat or atv-xbmc-ssh.7z I couldn't remember which one but I tried both. I switched from volume to device mode and hit the restore button but they never copied to the patchstick no matter what. What am I doing wrong ?

[ianfrommontreal]

Can't anybody help me with this problem ? I just learned that you can play MLB.TV on boxee now, i'm freaking out !

[ianfrommontreal]

I put the kids upstairs and locked myself in the basement until I got it right. I'm sorry for the stupid questions and hope you understand that computers and myself don't quite get along !
