[AppleTV] Launcher 3.2.5 and ATV XBMC nightlies released

I'm not sure why using the `defaults` command didn't work for me, but here's how I added it manually to the /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/XBMCLauncher.frappliance/Contents/Info.plist file: I rebooted and my SVN releases showed up. If anyone knows the correct way to fix this, please let me know! In the meantime, I'm rocking some Crystal HD success

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.

strange. Need to see console.log after entering Launcher->Downloads.

console.log

I thought about posting this earlier, but it didn't seem to be updating and there was no hint regarding the additional download URLs: The timestamps were all 17:00, and by the time I had reached this point it was around 20:00. Maybe I didn't put it in to the appropriate debug mode?

Thanks fot the update. If console.log isn't updated anymore, you can (at least most of the time) fix it by restarting Finder (ps aux | grep Finder -> kill PID).

Here's what my 'defaults' says:

Some hints why those are not picked up by Launcher:
- Launcher version < 3.1(?); current one should definitely work
- wrong user? Did you add additional users on your ATV?

try entering the nightlies information as a normal (frontrow) user instead of the root user.

Genius! That was it. I forgot to drop back to frontrow before adding it. Whoops! Works great now, thank you.

I have a slightly modified keymap file.
Every time I do a nightly install the file gets clobbered.
( it's in /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system/keymaps)
Is there anyway to stop the joystick.AppleRemote.xml file from having to be re-uploaded after every update?

Hello,

I am suddenly havings problems with the Launcher -> Downloads on the ATV. Launching XBMC/Boxee from the Launcher works but when I drill down to the Launcher Downloads, i can see the download plists including the new SVN buildbot but when I press select on any item in the list, nothing happens. The ATV IR light flickers but nothing happens and nothing is downloaded.

This was working fine with the older sshsc site for months, but suddenly it has stopped working since the first week of the new year. It seems it can not update any of the installer scripts. The new Buildbot was added from user frontrow and not from root.


Thanks for any help

sure, move joystick.AppleRemote.xml to ~/Library/Application\ Support/XBMC/userdata/keymaps/ and modify it there.

'~/.../Application Support/XBMC/' isn't touched on updates...

HTH,

strange:

Seems there are permission issues. Does deleting XBMCLauncher's cache folder (rm -rf /Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads) help?
