Any idea when launcher will be updated to handle the new menus or will i have to downgrade for a while?

The new launcher was finished years ago... Davilla has it burned to a dirty CD and its sitting on top of his beer fridge in the garage. When will he release it? Beats me, you know how it is.. he goes off on the month long benders and then has to find his way back home from who-knows-were... It could be a week it could be a month... lets just hope he steers clear of the cops... not like LAST TIME...

Sorry I had to..

We should all know by know that it'll be done when its done... Davilla is juggling quite a number of XBMC centric projects and word on the street says he even has a day job that pays the bills that allow him to exist and perhaps even a personal life to live as well!

In the end I for one would not expect to see an updated patch stick appear overnight and if XBMC is you're main use on the ATV then you should follow one of the downgrade links posted above.

The good news is that when you run the patch stick on 3.0 you have SSH access again. This means Apple isn't looking to completely lock us out, if there were it would be trivial to block the patch stick method.

Looking at the new menu system it seems like a daunting fix to get the patch updated, I will play around to see if XBMC runs on 3.0 if anyone likes? I didn't think to launch it before I downgraded...

No easy way to fix problem. See this thread. For the time being it appears that you are going to have to downgrade to an earlier ATV firmware rev and re-run the patchstick. As I stated in the other thread I was able to do a factory restore to 2.3.1 and the 2.4 patchstick appears to work OK. Hopefully there will be an update that will work with 3.0 before too long. Good luck.

Just what does that do
I just did a simple factory restore and re-installed the patch stick and turned off auto updates. Took about 15 mins.

Not sure what I did, but my ATV upgraded to the latest fw. (I turned the ATV on before the AVR and must have clicked "Yes" accidentally.

Am I out of luck?

[cadeucsb]

I accidentally auto-updated (shakes fist at not knowing about disabling auto update until now). I just did the method in the link and in 5min it was back up and running on the updated apple tv...

I did a simple factory restore back to 1.0 and I cannot get it to update to the 2.4 or 3 again. Ive tried all of these options http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/OSupdate with no hope. Still on 1.0. Any suggestions?

Never mind.. forgot about the hosts file

So if we want to continue to use XBMC we can't update to 3.0 until Davilla has a look and releases a new patch stick?

Thanks for the work, hope it's soon.

Sorry, just saw this here:

Will this work and allow ATV 3.0 to run XBMC?

If you read everything, then yes the above link is instructions on how to make XBMC work with aTv 3.0.

However, you will notice that MaestroDD says this is not for public use yet, it is a beta. If you haven't upgraded to 3.0 yet then wait until such time as the developer teams says everything is good to go.

For me I use XBMC 98% of the time, so until there is a reason to update the apple software, I am going to keep using what I know works and wait for the Dev-Team to give me the big thumbs-up to upgrade.
