"SVN build with a few skins available", if what you want is working in svn for XBMC for Mac, yes, otherwise no.

Are there any issues with me making an SVN build with a few skins available?

If i do go ahead with this it will be provided as is with no ongoing support....

Awesome, I would love to see this. If you put it on a tracker, I will help seed. What are the instructions for installing one of the SVN builds?
What would be needed once we have the .dmg to mount and copy this to the ATV?

Hopefully up-to-date step-by-step instructions on HOW-TO compile XBMC for Mac from source code should always be found in the wiki here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_compi...ource_code

Some additional information on compiling XBMC for Mac from source code can also be found in README.osx from the SVN, see:
http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/x...README.osx

More on XBMC for Mac development here:

Please read this other thread for instructions on that=> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=38493
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

OK Here you go guys.... SVN Build 16593 w/ Mediastream 1.0

This should work fine in Mac OSX or on the Apple TV.
Let me know if there are any major issues but i'm not guaranteeing anything as my skills are pretty limited.

This is a 95mb .DMG (OSX Disk Image)

Hi,

I was having the same question but did a short search.

We should be ok with that (Davilla previous post).

I don't have time this morning to work out the exact step by step instructions but it should be pretty simple to work out from the following...
  • You need a way to extract or mount the DMG (google)
  • SCP the XBMC.app file across to your AppleTV
  • SSH into the AppleTV and move the XBMC.app into the /Applications folder

There are some instructions included on the DMG that might help a bit more once you find a way to extract it.

Did you install from windows onto an ATV?

If so any chance you could document the process for others on here?

Yes ... achieved via Windoze (WinBlows for Davilla though Smile ).

T'was a combo of some forum info & the TXT file contained in the DMG:
- use WinSCP to move the downloaded DMG file to /Users/Frontrow
- then SSH into the ATV using PUTTY, then ...
sudo bash [enter password]
sudo hdiutil mount XBMC_SVN_16593.dmg
scp -r /Volumes/XBMC_SVN/XBMC.app /Users/Frontrow\
sudo mv /Applications/XBMC.app /Applications/XBMC_OLD.app\
sudo mv ~/XBMC.app /Applications/\
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /Volumes/XBMC_SVN
rm XBMC_SVN_16593.dmg
exit
exit

I believe that was it ... and /Applications/XBMC_OLD.app is still present on the ATV ... I was not going to chown/chgrp & nuke it until I knew all was well.

If I missed something or any other Windoze peeps has more questions, just chime in Nerd
