[AppleTV] Launcher 3.2 testing

Has anyone tested external USB HDs?

Has anyone tested AFP with 3.0?

Thanks in advance.

All worked perfectly first time and XBMC is streaming media from my network perfectly.

The title says it all. It worked perfectly for me. You can get it here:

Noob here. Been following along and everything is working. Quick question though, to use an external USB HDD, do I have to use the XBMC menu system? Is there a way to access the external drive through the Apple ATV menu?

Installing NitoTV and running the Smart Installer (see my post above) will allow you to access an external USB drive from a new menu item placed on the main Apple TV menu without having to reboot the system. However I find this of limited use as the control of playback in Nito is inferior to that available in XBMC in my opinion. I am not aware of any way to access the port in the native ATV menu. I used the NitoTV install only as a simple method to enable the USB port and then uninstalled it. This is not popular with Nito but his install does effortlessly enable the port.

Sorry if this isn't the place to report this as I got my patchstick from firecore and i'm not sure what version of launcher they're using. I'm assuming it's 3.2.

I started by doing a factory restore, then updating the atv to 3.0. Then i used the patchstick

Then I added sshcs to the Plist by typing:

When attempting to use the atv to download build 24211 from sshcs the update script exits with error 255. The OTHER XBMC install (9.04) launched from the atv does work though.

So, i saved the 9.04_update.sh file, and the dmg of build 24211 and manually ran the script, which worked great. So, the build appears to be fine, and the update script appears to be fine... Launcher issue? Firecore problem?

I've never really looked into what this community thinks of firecore, but i'm really not trolling here...

I think the general consensus is that if one is using the firecore patchstick, then any questions/issues should be directed to the firecore developers/forums.

I went from OTB 1.0 to 3.0 and then did the launcher 3.2 Beta to get Launcher Menu.

I then did a manual nito install and got Nito Menu. I then did the smart installer and now have AFP server running on the ATV.

Thus I can now with finder on my MPB access all files on de ATV.

I have not succeeded in using the AFP client on de ATV to access my TimeCapsule. I always get 1069 error. (yes the mount command is valid, so is the share and pass)

funny, we haven't even released yet. Mind checking which version it is? (Launcher -> About)

Just tried and r24211 installed fine. Maybe a hickup on sshcs.com/xbmc or on your local network? Please try to copy&post console.log when this happens.

cheers,

Thanks for the heads up. I know this is the wrong forum but I get an Install Success but no new menu item for USB even after a reboot. Can someone point me to the forums that support this?
