From terminal on your Mac you need to SSH into your ATV2.

Code:
ssh root@IP ADDRESS

With IP ADDRESS being the IP of your ATV2. It will then ask your for a password (default being: alpine) or whatever you have changed it to if you have.

Then run:

Code:
wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/

and then the build you want from this list. So if you wanted the build from 8th of september you would write:

Code:
wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/xbmc-20110908-9592c12-master-atv2.deb

This will then download the file to your ATV2 (progress can be checked by watching the terminal screen).

When it has finished you then need to run: dpkg -i and the file name that you just got, so if we are using the example above it would be:

Code:
dpkg -i xbmc-20110908-9592c12-master-atv2.deb

This will then install the update onto your ATV2, after this is done you can then remove the file by typing: rm and then the file name, again as an example with the same file from above.

Code:
rm xbmc-20110908-9592c12-master-atv2.deb

I am getting this error. I am on the latest firmware jailbroken with seasonpass.

dpkg: status database area is locked by another process

I'd reboot the atv2, to make sure it kills any processes that may be lingering. Then I'd try the dpkg command again, if it freezes use CTRL+C to get it to use the removal script from the new package.

If you're still getting the same error, there might be a stale lock file hanging around that you'll need to manually delete. I'm guessing it'd be in /var/lock.

If that doesn't fix it, take a look in /var/log/syslog to see if there's any clues in there as to what's going on.

In case anyone else gets this error...

I got this error as well. I suspect that adioukrou, like me, was following jshay's instructions from page 4 of this thread. He listed the URL to the nightlies as http://www.nl.kernel.org/pub/xbmc/nightlies/darwin/atv2/

That URL doesn't work. As indicated in deanmv's instructions, the URL you need is http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/

Are you typing 'dpkg -i' ?

Ideally everyone would follow the official instructions here.

Any reason you didn't use those? If there is I'm sure someone will take your feedback and try to improve the instructions.

Things get very confusing when everyone is writing their own instructions in the forums. Especially when things change and those unofficial instructions don't get updated.
