[AppleTV] Custom URL possible for XBMCLauncher ?
#1
All this chatter about upgrading, downgrading, custom SVN builds ...
obviously XBMCLauncher dictates where the DMG source is dowloaded from.
If XBMCLauncher cannot be modified directly, can the dev's mod XBMCLauncher to pull the URL from an external text file versus hard coded ?

i.e.
"Joe" may want to install beta2 from a share on his laptop
"Bill" might want to upgrade to Atlantis from a share on his desktop system
And someone else might want to install their custom SVN build from a server share, etc

So if this were made possible, each person could simply modify the contents of their external URL file on the ATV, allowing the automated installation process to get any DMG versus just the latest public release coded into XBMCLauncher.

Yes ? Nod

Getting closer ... but ...

Anyway ... so I found this in my travels :

http://code.google.com/p/atv-xbmc-launch...BMCUpdater

which references this file:

http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/...urls.plist

containing goodies like this :

<dict>
<key>UpdateScript</key>
<string>http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/svn/tags/xbmc-info/scripts/xbmc-8.10.b1_update.sh</string>
<key>URL</key>
<string>http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xbmc/XBMC_for_Mac-Atlantis-Beta_1.dmg</string>
<key>Type</key>
<string>Application</string>
<key>MD5</key>
<string>f18de725a61eadab19cc57a997f76c4f</string>
<key>Name</key>
<string>XBMC Atlantis Beta1</string>
</dict>

But I cannot blippin'-dee-blip find where update_urls.plist goes once it hits the ATV ....
