[AppleTV] Launcher 3.2.5 and ATV XBMC nightlies released

**MaestroDD** · 2010-01-12 21:43

Launcher 3.2.5 should be available via Laucher->Downloads.

changelog:
3.2.4:
- This is only a minor update to support the new aluminum remote's Play button.
3.2.5:
- fixed bug where filename could not be figured out for some downloads

But there's a bit more for those who like to live on the edge:
If you haven't read the great news about our buildbots and mirrors now is the time to do so. The benefit for ATV users is another place to get fresh nightly builds.
Remember, those builds are not very well tested and might burn your ATV, crash your TV etc.. To get them, you'll need to add an additional update source to Launcher. Check 'defaults --help' on how to do it.

Here's how to add it to your existing ones:

Code:

ssh frontrow@appletv.local

defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array-add http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/osx/update_urls.plist

If you find quirks, crashes, etc, make sure to read "HOW-TO post about a XBMC for Mac or Apple TV problem in a useful manner" before reporting issues.
Thanks!

EDIT1: (re)updated to 3.2.4
EDIT2: updated to 3.2.5

Excellent

Are these builds built with crystalhd support?

dimsumx · 2010-01-13 01:30

Quick newb question: do the official nightlies currently support CrystalHD?

EDIT: Prae5 beat me to it Big Grin

**theuni** · 2010-01-13 04:08

Yes, CrystalHD is built in.

Thanks, I was looking for this.

Thanks a lot for the new release of this excellent tool.

I wonder if it is possible to use launcher to add other apps than XBMC and Boxee. I'm thinking of Firefox. I know that there are other tools around to launch, but the idea is to add only one entry in the main appletv menu.

In it's current instance it can only be hacked in with some knowledge and/or interest in playing with such stuff Wink

see Info.plist in /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/XBMCLauncher.frappliance/Contents/

Launcher is kind of prepared to manage/start other apps, so if you wanna do some obj-c coding, send me a PM.

cheers,

I just finished setting up my Apple TV, but I can't get the XBMC nightlies to show up under Launcher -> Downloads. I entered in the aforementioned command, went to Settings, then Downloads, but nothing. I also tried rebooting. I can see the value was successfully saved:

Code:

bash-2.05b# defaults read com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher

{

    XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs = ("http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/osx/update_urls.plist");

}

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I'm running Launcher 3.2.2 on Apple TV 3.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
