[AppleTV2] HOW TO Stop ATV2 from checking for updates and CRASHING

Activateav Wrote:Hi Guys,

Ive tried most of the things on this forum to no avail.

Ive got XBMC running on my ATV2

I thought my problem was the large 720p mvk files but I turned subtitles off and everything seemed ok, until the crashing continued.

I have now installed updatebegone and restarted via nitro TV. This was ok for one night but next day crashed out

I have used ssh via my pc to upload a skin which was great, but I have no idea how to add the script into my ATV2

Can anyone provide simple steps to resolve this crashing issue, looking forward to watching some new movies! :confused2:

Check the first post, it's all there.

I have looked at copy and pasting the code but I have no idea where to do this??

I am using filezilla to ssh could this be the reason?

I think some users on here really need to understand what's easy for some folk ain't easy for others?

Help still needed

curious, after doing the ssh fix, can the update still be installed, if you'd like? or does it totally disable updates?

Use putty. Its a free program.
When you start putty a screen will pop up....put in the ip address of the atv2 and hit ok.
A command line screen will come up.

type root then hit enter
type alpine then hit enter
then paste the commands from the first post one at a time

Done!

Thanks dtviewer,,

I have just followed your steps and will test shortly.

Much apreciated

thx

fu apple servers!

Rebooted and started a 720p movie,

Still crashing!!

It lasted 3mins

Are we sure this problem is because atv2 is looking for updates??

Before updatebegone came into the picture,

I edited the hosts file and no problems for me since 4.3 update prompts on March 09, 2011.


Now, it's exactly one week, no problems.

I'll persevere and keep researching for now, hopefully someone will have clue whats going on?
