Hi there,
Launcher 3.1 is available as an update to Launcher 3.0 users.
changes:
- added: read additional download urls from an array in NSUserDefaults; key is XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs (r660)
- fixed: key-repeat for left/right (r643, r649 thx Guibaa!)
- fixed: md5 check failed for zipped downloads (r656)
For a complete list of changes, see the changelog.
Major reason to update is to easily add 3rd party download locations. Launcher reads now additional download locations from Launcher's user preferences. To modify those, Apple provides a small command line utility called "defaults". For details make sure to read its man page.
Few details about Launcher and downloads:
Launcher read it's downloads list from xml files, by default from this one.
Currently there's TheQuestor who provides an xml file (thanks!) suitable for Launcher for his builds (and thanks for those! )
Howto add new download locations:
Modifying user preferences to add new download locations, ssh into your ATV and use defaults.
To add TheQuestor's svn builds do the following:
To see this change, you'll need to re-enter the "Downloads" dialog, e.g. by going back to Launcher menu, then "Settings", then back to "Downloads"
Known issues:
- none yet
