direct boot into xbmc on atv

MontyAus Wrote:You don't need to modify anything any more.

Simply Update launcher to 3.2.1 & in the launcher 'settings' menu, you can change the direct boot order.

Choose XBMC, then reboot the xbmc.

HTH's.

Monty, is it possible to undo this change afterwards? I guess I mean if you quit xbmc do you quit to finder?

cheers

Hello,

I just enabled the Multifinder and choose XBMC as my default app. However when I reboot I just get a black screen. I can ssh the ATV.

Read something about checking if xbmchelper is running and it seem to be:

Now I can't get back to Finder to reset this. How do I revert the change from the console? XBMC was working when I started it manually from Launcher.

Running XBMC svn r28256

Removed:
* xbmc.log: /Users/frontrow/Library/Logs/xbmc.log
* Console log: /Library/Logs/Console/501/console.log
to get clean versions when I booted up but new log files are not created.

Crashreporter log: /Users/frontrow/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/CrashReporter.log
Not existing either.

Hoping to avoid another factory reset

Thanks!

see http://code.google.com/p/atv-xbmc-launch...wngrade.sh

important bits:

sudo rm -rf /Applications/MultiFinder.app
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow Finder
sudo reboot

For some reason /Applications/MultiFinder.app did not exist.
However delete the entry and reboot did the trick!

Thank you for the help!

might be in /User/frontrow/Applications/MultiFinder.app

It was the same for me too - black screen after enabling MultiFinder and choosing XBMC. In fact, it's been quite a while since this bug appeared, and so far I've not seen any solution.

So does that mean that there's no way to boot directly into XBMC anymore?

I haven't found it in that path, but even if I copy it to the expected folder, it still doesn't work.

Has anyone found any solution to this issue?

We didn't get any confirmation, but this was fixed a while ago:

unfortunately nightly builds are still disabled, so either take the 9.11 release version or build from svn.

Ok thanks then, I'll wait till it is included in the nightly builds.

Its very easy and described here:

http://iluvatv.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/...into-xbmc/

However:

You loose your "Learned remote" commands

You loose any tunnelblick connections

And theres some problems with Xbmc obtaining network via Wireless (But anyhow, it will connect)



-Tunnelblick/VPN connections can easyli be re-initiated by exiting XBMC and starting XBMC again. (However the idea about booting into XBMC is somehow lost)

My question:

Can anything be done, so that "Learned" remotekeys and TunnelblickVPN connections are activated even though you are booting into XBMC ?
