[AppleTV] Broadcom Crystal HD Decoder Apple TV step-by-step installation guide

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


?

try
Enter in to putty: chmod 755 /usr/lib/libcrystalhd.dylib

Thanks

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?

For those stuck on the beginning of step 7, it should look like this:

cd /tmp

mv crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.1/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext /System/Library/Extensions

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext

mv crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.1/libcrystalhd.dylib /usr/lib/ <---THIS PART WAS MISSING

chmod 755 /usr/lib/libcrystalhd.dylib

rm -rf /tmp/crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.1



I couldn't get it to work till I found it in the original guide...which turned out to be much easier, imo:

That explains things....
Thanks

I've done the install and everything - but I'm not able to find the crystal card in the menu.
Could it be something I've done wrong during install - or does it sound like a bad crystal card?

Is there a way to check if the right drivers is in place?

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.

See below

corrected guide, now added mv crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.0/libcrystalhd.dylib /usr/lib/

as number 5 in step 7

this was an oversight on my part, guide should now be 100% correct.

launcher should show as the bottom XBMC r26613

Also added an initial step, which is something i had to do to get the new versions to show:

Initial STEP:

Go in to your apple tv and select downloads under launcher, select the launcher application, that will then uprade the launcher to the lastest version.
