[AppleTV2] Migrating from OS X? - ctawn - 2011-02-23 I'm considering getting an AppleTV2 and jailbreaking with Seas0nPass. How easy is it to migrate all settings from the OS X version (dharma) of XBMC, including library files, images, etc? Will it work with a Harmony One Remote? Will it work with the existing iPhone remotes? Sorry if these questions have been answered elsewhere already. Just looking for a summary from those with experience doing this. Thanks. - ctawn - 2011-03-05 If anyone who has attempted to migrate from OS X to an ATV2 could take a couple minutes to share your impressions, I'd appreciate it. - TheRealDL - 2011-03-06 Assuming you want to have the library available on multiple devices... Have a look at my post in the MySQL thread... [AppleTV2] MySQL database / library support? - ctawn - 2011-03-11 TheRealDL Wrote:Assuming you want to have the library available on multiple devices... Interesting but hadn't considered that possibility. I'm just interested in migrating totally from a setup on a Mac to an ATV2 with as little pain and fuss as possible in terms of redoing settings, sharepoints, libraries, etc. RE: [AppleTV2] Migrating from OS X? - ctawn - 2012-04-20 OK, well I finally took this plunge as my Mac laptop's video card now imploded for the second time in a few years. Here's some of what I've found in the past few days: • In my case, copying over most of my entire /userdata folder (from "~/Application Support/XBMC/" on Mac to "/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/" on ATV2) was successful. I chose to copy the following folders: add_on data, Database, Thumbnails, and the following file: RssFeeds.xml • almost all of my content was on afp:// shares, but of course any content stored locally on the dead Mac was going to be invalid. So I copied it over to the Mac that serves most of the content, removed the items from the library, and re-added in the new location. • I re-did all settings. • Had to calibrate the video for the TV. I learned if you press Select after configuring the top-left then you can configure the bottom-right, which was not obvious. (RSS feeds had been cropped.) • the remote "XMBC Commander for iPhone" app works as normal once you configure your network and the web server settings. • RowMote (another iPhone remote control I sometimes used) can be made to work by installing either NitoTV (separately or via aTV Flash black). • Severe limitations of the ATV2's handling of IR remote codes means that universal remotes have a very limited set of options.
