The new AppleTV Launcher 2.2 with "Multifinder" has been released.
This version replaces booting into the standard Finder.app (frontrow) with a new Multifinder that handles application switching between Boxee and Frontrow. The only side effect is going back to Frontrow takes longer than previous as Frontrow is starting up from scratch.
1) Left side menu is renamed from "XBMC/Boxee" to "Launcher".
2) Fixes failure to get into the frontscreen when launching XBMC (black screen on launch).
3) Fixes IR problems under Launcher 2.1 with pre-2.3 ATV OS.
4) Fixes HDMI disconnect issues.
How to Install:
1) Check the Launcher update menu entry and update or 2) download from http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com and manually install.
Known Issues: Learned IR remotes under r2.3 are not supported under XBMC in this version.
For the thrill seekers: ssh in and
then into XBMC and back to frontrow. Launcher will now have an additional menu entry in settings. This toggles the default boot application... Now you can boot directly into XBMC. Quitting XBMC in this mode will return back to frontrow.
Enjoy.
