[Apple TV] Aeon Auriga unofficial 'Lite' version for the ATV

I am using an Apple TV and would like to try this skin.

I copied the _MACOSX version of the files into my skin folder
on the ATV. It shows up in my skins list but when I choose it, it says it
is an incompatible version and that it must be version 2.0 or greater to
use....

I am running Babylon version of XBMC.

Where did I go wrong?

Please make sure that u copied the correct files accross.. check the other skins for the folder structure..

This error happens if u missed some files or copied it incorrectly..

I like this a lot.

But quitting XBMC with an apple remote?

Ut oh.

The menu to quit is disabled by default on Aeon. You have to enable it under the skin options

Thanks!
I copied the wrong folder over....
I am using the Apple TV remote and find I can not do much. Is anyone else using this remote and is there any way around not being able to use the 'S'
button?
Lastly, the screen to enable many of the graphics is grayed out. I have tried many buttons on the remote but for some reason can not get to these settings.

I all,

I planed to by an appleTV but I would like to know if it runs the amazing aeon stark,thx to DJH !!! ( i assume so due to this thread ) and if it runs 1080p movie.

Thx all

I installed this version of the skin last night on my Apple TV (Launcher 3.0 and the latest beta) and it works quite well. On par w/ the latest Mediastream that I was using before.

Thank you!

I0ghan: As far as 1080p and Apple TV you can "output (i.e. upscape 720p and below content to 1080p)" 1080p to the display. But, generally speaking it cannot playback native 1080p files. 720P content is the most it is capable of doing smoothly. I've heard some people say it can do 1080p but only at very low data rates 5MB/s. If you're using XBMC mainly as a DVD library (480p), you will have very smooth playback of video.

For playback of 1080p/i (blu-ray or TV HD), the mac mini or pc running linux XBMC will be a better option.

I'm considering a Mac Mini for the future -- I think you can do the standard audio out and convert it to Toslink audio with a cable, and do the DVI to HDMI - Not the one cable solution of the ATV tho. And I think it uses the same remote as the ATV so that's no issue there (though I guess you at least would need mouse/KB to set it up like you say).

I do like the simplicity of the ATV, just wish it had more horsepower for playing HD content.

The Mac mini has a audio port that doubles as BOTH a standard headphone jack and optical/TOSLINK jack.

You can use a cable like this for stereo audio:

OR use a special optical cable miniplug to toslink like this:

The optical cable supports all surround sound formats that a normal optical supports namely Dolby Digital and DTS. As for the new blu-ray high def sound formats, optical is not capable of that type of bandwidth. They only come through HDMI. As audio via HDMI on the mac is not supported yet(as far as I know), mac users SOL on that front.

The newly release mac mini has MUCH better graphics performance than it's predecessor. It uses the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M which is a big improvement over the earlier chipset with hardware support for a dual monitor or in my case monitor and TV setup.
* NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 128MB or 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory2
* Extended desktop and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports up to 1920 by 1200 pixels on a DVI or VGA display; up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on a dual-link DVI display using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
* Mini-DVI port
* DVI output using Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter (included)
* VGA output using Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
* Mini DisplayPort output
My current setup is a DVI computer monitor for my main display and using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and outputing 1080p to my JVC 1080p tv. Works like a charm.

The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter can be found here:
