MP4 movies crash XBMC on my Apple TV 2

jpod-x Wrote:I got it working following Chiss and amet's code instructions and dazex's advice on removing Firecore's media player. Thank you all.

One question: Will I have to regularly use above code to continually have the latest build?

I'm assuming you meant the commands that amet gave you and yes. But if the build you have works, you don't need to upgrade until you reach a problem and are aware the nightlies fix it.

As my grandpa always used to say, if it ain't broke, why fix it?

Thanks for the instructions Chiss & Amet...helpful instructions for a supernoob like me! MKVs are working fine now, no crashes, just can't work out how to turn off subtitles. I'm sure I'll figure it out :-)

open OSD(hold center button), select audio menu, disable subtitles in there

if you want subs off by default on all movies in the same menu look for "set as default for all movies"

hi guys....i run these commands via ssh:

wget http://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_atv2.deb
dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb
rm -rf latest_atv2.deb

so now i have mkv and mp4 play, but the sounds goes in and out.
also, subtitles are on.
any idea how to turn it off.

i read amet said hold the OSD, is this the main button on ATV 2G ?

please help.

If you actually read what I said, you will see it's the center button you need to hold

thanks amet.

is that the white remote control? or...?

Somehow I doubt you got the white remote with atv2, but yeah the white one as well

amet,

so that will take care of the subs.

and about the sounds.....please write me what to do.

thanks amet.

thanks amet.

read the sticky about nightly builds and report the issue in a proper way, not here though

amet, i fixed the subs, but i was able to get the menu also with the new remote.

thanks for your devotion to this chat. i hope i can contribute help as well.
