E: Type '.deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list

The last time I installed xbmc was with nitotv, and that worked fine.

Can anyone help me out?

This is all you need to follow. The rest doesn't matter.

Make sure to copy/paste the info right.

If you're getting an error, copy the entire buffer from ssh and pastebin it and link us. Just telling us that error and not what you ran to cause it doesn't help enough.

I didn't install awkwardtv separately on a couple of later ATVs, I just did...

apt-get update
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

worked for me..

Thanks for the quick replies

Code:

echo "deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list

and then retry your apt-get stuff

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

That line of code worked!

I then installed nitoTV, using this code. Was that a good idea?

apt-get update

apt-get install com.nito.nitoTV

killall AppleTV

Is it ok to install xbmc via nitoTV, and then update xbmc to a nightly? Is that process ok?

That should be just fine, although the official build is currently newer than the "nightly".

[jimton]

Ah right didn't know the official build is newer than the nightly,what's the build no.?
