[AppleTV] Broadcom Crystal HD Decoder Apple TV step-by-step installation guide
#1
Thumbs Up 
After following the procedures and getting everything working, even as a noob in modding the apple tv, i thought a full guide, will images for both software and hardware installation would be helpful to the community, and i would like to give something back.

So here is my start to finished hardware then software installation guide for the broadcom on the atv. i really hope this helps someone.

http://www.blogythefox.co.uk/2010/01/09/...tallation/

Full credit obviously needs to go to Davilla, XBMC Team, Turbo Team, Matt for the guide i used and have adapted, the original writer and photographer of the hardware installation and of course you for using this guide.

i hope this helps, any comments or feedback would be great.

Great guide, thanks
But, please put another background on the page, almost impossible to read....

Thanks a lot for this!
One question that really answers itself - but if I don't see the Crystal card in Video setting it's not installed the right way or it's not working, right?

Thanks for the guide, just running through it now....
Typo on Step 7 number 5 - one too many 'lib' in there....
e.g. line reads....
5. Enter in to putty: chmod 755 /usr/lib/libcrystalhd.dylib
should be
5. Enter in to putty: chmod 755 /usr/lib/crystalhd.dylib

had me confused for a bit.

Step 8 is not working here....
Trying to work out why, in my Launcher - Downloads I currently have
XBMC 9.11 Application
XBMC 9.04.1 Application
Boxee alpha 0.9.14.6... Application
Launcher 3.2.1 Launcher

Going in and out of Launcher Settings had no effect on Downloads list
Rebooting ATV had no effect on Downloads list

Appears the XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlist part is the failing.
" defaults read com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlist
2010-01-10 10:40:08.889 defaults[208]
The domain/default pair of (com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher, XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlist) does not exist"

I did the
"defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array http://www.sshcs.com/xbmc/Info.asp"
part manually, and it now appears....

Still waiting on my BC card, just getting everything ready software wise for when it arrives, so can't check past Step 8 I'm afraid.

I managed to have the download link show up. However, after downloading (and showing "download complete"), I still have the old "final Camelot" release and not the nightly. Any idea?

STEP 7 when it says
# Enter in to putty: chmod 755 /usr/lib/crystalhd.dylib

It returns:
chmod: /usr/lib/crystalhd.dylib: No such file or directory


Huh?

Just use the last part of the instruction in PuTTy.

defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array http://www.sshcs.com/xbmc/Info.asp

If you mean part 5 of step 7, and you are using copy and paste (like I was), then the instruction on the webpage has one too many 'libs' in it.
(see my post on page 1)

I also get the error and I've tried with your suggestion for the real line.
Anyone got any ideas?

Also, the three files you copy to the directory is that to the tmp dir or the crystalhd dir?
