Apple TV 2 Shows Squares and Numbers - D21FTA - 2016-03-30
Hi, we currently have a apple tv 2 model which works fine on everything except for xbmc. it is gotham edition, when we launch it the splash screen comes up fine but when it actually loads to the user interface it comes up with numbers from 100-200-300 etc across and down the side of the screen. i would assume this is showing up 700x1200 resolution. any ideas of how i remove this ? many thanks

It also shows these: banned add-ons (wiki).
Remove them and perhaps someone will be able to help you here.

i have no idea regarding this ? i have been given this and we use kodi to use between or tvs in bedroom and downstairs for music and movies. we currently just copy the music and videos from dvd and cds to a laptop but i just thought as we had been given this it would be easier to have laptop plugged in downstairs and the apple box upstairs. i cant even view the screen properly so i dont see how i could loads these banned items to it and also wouldnt even know how to, im sure if i could i wouldnt be on this site asking about orange boxs over it. if no one will help or they do not know what the problem is its not a problem to me. il just discard it. just thought site was for information, not to get slammed about something i dont know about. thanks
if you could tell me how to remove the addons that would also be helpful ? i am not interested in something that is obviously illegal by the looks of it ? how do i remove the addons (i have gone through the wiki) i cant see the screen to remove anyting, so im back to the original question

To remove the add-ons and reset Kodi you would run these commands on the Apple TV
Code:
rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC
rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/KodiSince you were given the Apple TV you may not know how to connect to it
On Mac, you can use terminal and run this command:
ssh [email protected]
The password should be alpine
Obviously you want to fill in the x’s with your Apple TV2 IP address. To find it, just open the main Apple TV menu and go to Settings > General > Network > IP address
If you're using Windows you can download a program called Putty
http://www.putty.org/
The process to connect with Putty is a little different but easy enough
