[ATV] Downgrade 8.10 final to beta2

^tWiSt^ · 2008-11-17 11:19

Hi, there is a way using only ATV to downgrade from Atlantis final to beta2?

This screen calibration problem makes me nuts....

thanks

Would consider doing this as well...
Is there any place where we can grab a zip file with the ATV XBMC Beta 2 binaries which we can sftp to the box?

Does someone know, when we expect the next avalable version through the launcher / updater?

Using ATV + XBMC 8.10 as well, but not sure what the screen calibration issue is. That said, if you guys PM I can send you the beta2 DMG file if that is what you want to do

or you could go here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles..._id=631023

The problem he is referring to is setting the OVERSCAN in the 8.10 release does not retain the settings, and it worked fine in BETA 2.

My TV set requires an overscan setting of +/-60 on the sides and +/-40 on the top/bottom. I'm using the 1280x720 (Full Screen) setting.

It works until you restart XBMC, then it reverts to the default overscan settings.

I've looked at the guisettings.xml file, and when you set the overscan the file is updated properly. When you start XBMC, something sets it back to defaults. Manually updating the file before starting XBMC does not help either. Sad

Code:

<resolution>

            <description>1280x720 (Full Screen)</description>

            <id>12</id>

            <subtitles>694</subtitles>

            <pixelratio>1.000000</pixelratio>

            <overscan>

                <left>0</left>

                <top>0</top>

                <right>1280</right>

                <bottom>720</bottom>

            </overscan>

        </resolution>

.... so XBMC4Ever where I have to put the beta2 DMG file? I assume I will have to sftp it somewhere in the ATV

Not sure I am effected by this OVERSCAN bug .. either that, or it does not present an annoying issue that I am immediately aware of.

As for going back to Beta2, I would assume it is the opposite to the manual upgrade from Beta2 to 8.10 final ... extract the XBMC.app from the DMG file, scp it into /Users/frontrow/, ssh into the ATV and then sudo mv XBMC.app /Applications/

If davilla has a moment, he should be able to confirm this.

I'm not davilla, but that sounds about right.

Download and mount the DMG
scp -r /Volumes/XBMC/XBMC.app frontrow@appletv.local:
ssh frontrow@appletv.local
sudo mv /Applications/XBMC.app /Applications/XBMC_8.10.app
sudo mv ~/XBMC.app /Applications/

ssh frontrow@appletv.local

sudo mv /Applications/XBMC.app /Applications/XBMC_8.10.app

sudo mv ~/XBMC.app /Applications/

Looks correct but some home networks will not use "appletv.local" and the actual IP address will be require.

@Tarv -> Yes, that's the overscan bug. Very high on the priority list and a bug fix for the release is already in the planning stages.

I don't have a mac....is there a way to extract the dmg image "inside" the ATV or using ubuntu?

XBMC4Ever · 2008-11-17 22:33

No MAC here either .. but if one extrapolates from the ATV-USB for Windows ...

tools\7-zip\7z.exe e XBMC_for_Mac-Atlantis-Beta_2.dmg XBMC.app

then SCP the XBMC.app into /Users/Frontrow

Yes ? Eek
