ATV SSHC builds and script error 126

Hi!

I there a way to install latest SVN builds from SSHC site? Every time when you run the script there comes the error 126.

TNX

Use the official builds by adding it to your Launcher downloads menu:


The official builds are much better, they are automated by buildbot and they are trusted. Bare in mind that right now there is a code merge taking place through SVN, so for stability issues, builds have stopped. See http://mirrors.xbmc.org

I know things are unstable right now, but I'd like to experiment with a new build for AppleTV. I recall reading in a different post that we are still probably months away from the official nightly builds being activated again. Is anyone able to install a new build from SSHC for AppleTV without getting the error:

Error: Update script exited with status: 126

Is there any way around this? Has anyone downloaded the .DMG directly and successfully updated the AppleTV lately?

Thanks!

I think I read around here somewhere that it has something to do with how he's building it because he was using a 10.5 version of something or other. Thus, the build will work on say a Mac w/10.5 or greater but will not work on say an AppleTV w/10.4. I think that's what I read and actually proved it worked on my Mac mini running 10.6 but got an error on my ATV with the same XBMC.

Only builds targeting 10.4SDK are supported, if you target 10.5/10.6, you are on your own.

How about a context for "Error: Update script exited with status: 126", is that runtime or what?

ssh frontrow@appletv.local
defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array http://www.sshcs.com/xbmc/Info.asp

This adds the SSHC nightly build option to Launcher. When you go into the Launcher menu and then select Downloads, you can select it and it downloads, but, unfortunately, when it tries to install, it gives the following onscreen error:

Error: Update script exited with status: 126

You can hit the Menu button to escape back to the AppleTV menu screen. Before you guys launched the official nightly builds, I used to use it to update to the latest XBMC build for AppleTV, but somewhere along the line, it became broken. I tried emailing the guy who runs the SSHC site (TheQuestor), but he doesn't have an AppleTV and doesn't seem to know why it doesn't work. In fact, I kind of got the impression that he thought it might just be a problem on my end...

run the script manually to see what the problem is.

I'm not really that good at this kind of stuff, but I'll give it a try. Here's what I got when I ran those four lines of code in PuTTY:


Looking at the last error, I downloaded XBMC_OSX_30020.tgz manually and moved the file over to the frontrow directory using WinSCP. Then I tried that last line again in PuTTY:


Using WinRAR, I can see that the XBMC_OSX_30020.tgz archive contains the file XBMC.dmg. I extracted it manually. I noticed that there was no XBMCLauncherDownloads directory in Caches, so I created one. I moved XBMC.dmg to the /Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads directory with WinSCP and tried that last line again:


It seemed like it might have worked, but when I try to launch XBMC from the AppleTV launcher menu, I get the following onscreen error:

Error: XBMC/Boxee exited with status: 5
Hit menu to return

I was a little worried that I might have completely blown out XBMC, but I was able to go in to the Downloads section of Launcher and reinstall the last official nightly build, XBMC svn r28256. Whew!

I would love to experiment with the latest changes, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way for XBMC on AppleTV folks to go about it.

Their script needs to create /Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads

"Error: XBMC/Boxee exited with status: 5" is a crash, there should be a crashreporter.log file and xbmc.log file related to this.
