[ATV2] HOW-TO position XBMC button in first spot on ATV menu

I would love to move XBMC into the 'Computers' Menu as I use both, but want to keep the main menu nice and tidy. Any ideas?

EvilMonkey Wrote:hello,

2nd file to edit: /Applications/XBMC.frappliance/Info.plist

look for those lines

Code:

<key>FRAppliancePreferedOrderValue</key>
<integer>2</integer>

and change the value in between integer-tag to 0 - save file and close.

This file seems to be a binary one on my ATV2. Can't find xml tags. Any ideas.

are you sure you're looking in the right place? plist-files always have some kind of xml-structure inside. make sure after logging in to your atv2 you first go all the way up to system root.

Yes I checked many times. The other one was XML(AppleTV) and able to modify it. But this one is binary and can't find XML tags. Weird!!

is there a way to move nito tv and computer... i would like to move them all the way to the end..

you will need a plist editor for Info.plist, in post# 24 there is a download link for Windows referenced by Stiffler

Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances/Settings.frappliance/Info.plist
<key>FRAppliancePreferredOrderValue</key>
<integer>1</integer> note: changed from 4 to 1

Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances/nitoTV.frappliance/Info.plist
<key>FRAppliancePreferredOrderValue</key>
<integer>4</integer> note: changed from 1 to 4

nitoTV > Settings > Restart Lowtide

Note I made changes to "XBMC" with a custom name to the left most on the screen (switched with "Movies").

My Apple Front Row is shown as:

My TV Media | Settings | TV Shows | Internet | Movies | Computers | nitoTV
XBMC

I did similar except I installed Overflow and folded Computers, Internet and NitoTV into it. And, just to be accurate, I renamed "Movies" to "Rentals" (who are you kidding Apple).

Mine looks like:

My Media | TV SHows | Rentals | Overflow | Settings
(XBMC) (never use) (Movies) Comptrs
Internet
nitoTV


aghh forum messed up my formatting....

99% of the time I am in XBMC...

I did it like this:

XBMC - Movies - Internet - Cydia - Settings

XBMC has Number 2, Movies Number 3, Internet 4, Cydia (which is renamed nitoTV) 5, and Settings 6. I do not use Computer at all and TV-Shows arent supported here in Germany by Apple. I left XBMC on 2 like it was because its the only app i update regulary and i just changed everything behind.

Hi hernandito, I reformatted your AppleTV2 Front Row presentation.

yup...the Overflow is very easy to do for everyone else,

nitoTV > Install Software > Overflow

(after successful installation messages)...restart Lowtide

Overflow > Overflow Settings > choose/toggle "Computers" for example from Main Menu to Overflow.

restart Lowtide

"Computers" will now be folded under Overflow tab on AppleTV2 Front Row.

Cheers,
