- Bobby Blixberg - 2010-01-15 Thank you very much for the VNC script. But is it normal that I can only view the apple TV screen? I am using TightVNC, should I switch to another client in order to be able to use mouse (and keyboard perhaps)? dafranca Wrote:this script will install firefox + plugins, but you need nitotv installed... after atv reboots you will find firefox on: nitotv > Applications > Firefox Ok, 2nd try I copied and pasted the script into the putty console, but that did not work. So could you please explain to me (as a newbie) file name and location of the script and anything else I should consider? Anyone else feel free to clear things up for me - dafranca - 2010-01-15 fostewi Wrote:I wonder how much of the limited ATV resources it is using to synch back and forth all the UI info and it also has a little lag making control a little challengingto find out how much memory and CPU is taking: Code: #!/bin/bash fostewi Wrote:Can I just kill the OSXvnc-keepalive and OSXvnc-server processes if I want to stop itThat is it... but next time it will reboot it will start again... to permanent remove it type: sudo rm -rdf /Library/StartupItems/OSXvnc/ - fostewi - 2010-01-15 Thanks dafranca. I tried using top to get an idea. Do you use the Lite version and if so did you figure out how to navigate the browser scroll bar? I also heard back from the developer of rowmote and the ATV problem is a known issue that he hopes to fix in a week or so...will play with this some more until then and then decide what works best for me. Thanks again for your help. - dafranca - 2010-01-15 Bobby Blixberg Wrote:Thank you very much for the VNC script.AppleTV frontrow Interface doesn't refresh the screen... but once you load an application it will refresh Bobby Blixberg Wrote:Ok, 2nd tryhttp://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Firefox - dafranca - 2010-01-16 fostewi Wrote:Thanks dafranca.

Now how to enable BT on ATV? [AppleTV] Is it possible to install Firefox on Apple TV? - marcowx7 - 2010-03-30 Thanks Drafranca.....really nice to you for help. Watch Survivor Episodes , Watch THE MENTALIST Episodes - frumpy_uk - 2010-03-31 ok so... looks great! Anyone in the UK tried this? I'm wondering if BBC iplayer will function this way? thanks Paul - frumpy_uk - 2010-03-31 frumpy_uk Wrote:ok so... looks great! Great question Paul, you're a good person. I just tried it, installs fine (although I had to replace 3.5.6 with 3.6.2, the older version wasn't found). However BBC iplayer isn't great on this platform. It's pretty jerky. Any other feedback from UK people would be good to throw some light on whether it is a local problem or not. I assume its not, but I'm not as clever as you, Paul. cheers Paul - conchamp - 2011-01-07 The install did not work for me.. when i try i get the following message...
