[AppleTV] Removing and deleting Boxee entry in Launcher?

pmcd · 2010-01-20 00:13

I am running ATV 3.01 and Launcher 3.2.2 . Not interested in Boxee and I don't like looking at the entry Smile

Is there a way of hiding or deleting it from the Menu so that I only see XBMC, Downloads, etc...?

Thank's,

good question, I'm also interested in the answer.

also,

how can I remove (or fix) the non-functional software menu?

how can I make the xbmc menu the first before movies/tvs on the launcher?

You can ssh into the ATV. Then go

cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns

ls

sudo -S mount -uw /

sudo rm -R SoftwareMenu.frappliance

sudo mount -ur /

The ls is just to be sure where you are. The mount at the end is to make the system read only ( which is the safer default).

Edit: Upgrade software menu to the latest beta. It is functional.

Not to highjack the thread, but since it was mentioned. Smile

Can I install the beta software menu? I didn't choose that option on initial install because I knew it wasn't working at all. Since there's a working beta, I'd like to add a Software Menu now.

Thanks!

be sure to backup first Smile
