I doubt it for OSX boxes, the update included an IR controller update and I've never seen an IR controller update on an OSX box. But one never knows what Apple is planning.

I mean more of hacking the IR update from the apple tv back onto a mini or a mbp or the like. I would assume apple would be using the same IR hardware on all platforms.

The link to download the osupdate to revert to previous atv versions, found at http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/OSupdate, doesn't work.

more info please so we can understand why it works for others and not you

They don't

The http link to download the file does not work; it downloads in a browser window as text. Maybe a server MIME type issue... not sure.

davilla - thanks for the suggestions of how to manually run the update script, xbmc-8.10_update.sh

when does this item get created?

and do you have the location now?

my atv auto-updated to 2.3. i got everything installed again (AFP, ssh, usb, etc). then tried the update method as was originally described. at this point i searched for the above file but found nothing.

also at this time, my apple remote stopped working. well, just the up/down/play buttons so i couldnt use the main menu. i have done a factory restore and upgraded to 2.3, used the atvusb patchstick, restored all previous config, but still i am unable to upgrade to any newer xbmc version (final or beta2 - at this point i'd be happy with either!)

regards

I update ATV to 2.3 then use patchstick (atvusb-creator-1.0.b7.zip). But i'm unable download/update xbmc.

Next:

-bash-2.05b$ sudo find / -name xbmc-8.10_update.sh -print
/mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads/xbmc-8.10_update.download/xbmc-8.10_update.sh

Then upload XBMC_for_Mac-Atlantis-Beta_2.dmg to /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads/

-bash-2.05b$ sudo /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads/xbmc-8.10_update.download/xbmc-8.10_update.sh /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads/xbmc-8.10_update.download/XBMC_for_Mac-Atlantis-Beta_2.dmg
sudo: /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads/xbmc-8.10_update.download/xbmc-8.10_update.sh: command not found

Next:

-bash-2.05b$ cd /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads/xbmc-8.10_update.download/
-bash-2.05b$ ls
xbmc-8.10_update.sh
-bash-2.05b$ sudo xbmc-8.10_update.sh
sudo: xbmc-8.10_update.sh: command not found

according to davilla

sudo find / -name xbmc-8.10_update.sh -print

one up from that path is the directory that contaings the xbmc dmg.

run the bmc-8.10_update.sh passing the path to the dmg.

I found both files but I do not know the commant to "pass the path to the dmg"

Temporaly files for update placed in /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads
XBMC updater (xbmc-8.10_update.sh) in folder "xbmc-8.10_update.download"
XBMC 'Atlantis' dmg-file in folder "XBMC_for_Mac-8.10.download"

A see that dmg-file downloaded but updater-script can't execute with message

sudo: xbmc-8.10_update.sh: command not found

having restored my appletv from v1.0 right up to v2.3 again, i still have the same issue.

when clicking the update option, 0.6 launcher is listed. i get the black screen for a couple of seconds and then returns to the menu. however if i search for the suggested file, it is not on my system (yes, i used the exact same syntax)

[randomice]

To manual update i set +x flag on xbmc-8.10_update.sh and execute it with parameter XBMC_for_Mac-8.10.dmg
Update completed successfully

[jingo_man]

randomice, i cannot chmod the script file, as i dont even seem to have it... when i select the update the launcher, i get the black screen and then it returns as davilla suggested it, but i get no files downloaded or anything.

can i redownload the latest mac version and do a manual install with that, seeing as i have ssh access to the appletv?

pleeeeeease help me - have been xbmc-less now since that <insert expletive here> v2.3 autoupdate!!!!

[randomice]

jingo_man see private message. Upload xbmc-8.10_update.sh & xbmc*.dmg to atv and manually install xbmc. Do not forget about chmod.

[jingo_man]

brilliant randomice, thanks for the script syntax. i applied this with the Mac OSX 8.10 image downloaded from this site.

it errored towards the end with:

chown: /Users/frontrow/Library/Application Support/Remote Buddy: No such file or directory

but it seems there isnt much else done after this item anyway.

when i launch the app now, it appears in the bottom left corner of the screen and has no remote control. the script lists 2 parameters, so should i reinstall passing in the latest appletv keymap.xml file? if so, is this freely available?

after a few remote clicks, it also comes up with:

An error occurred. Press Play/Pause to restart Appletv

i would hope this maybe resolved by the above issue?

I just got XBMC running again on AppleTV 2.3
No real good idea about how I did it, but it was something like this:

I used my old patchstick I used to patch 2.2. In the menu the XBMC and Boxee buttons reappeared, but updating didn't work. I ssh'd in (using frontrow:frontrow)

Then I saw this on the boxee forums: http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?p=13316

From that, I made something like this (I wrote this from memory, so use common sense when trying this):

wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/...-debug.run
wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/...ate-0.6.sh
sh launcher-update-0.6.sh XBMCLauncher-0.6-debug.run
wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforg...c-8.10.dmg
wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/..._update.sh
sh xbmc-8.10_update.sh XBMC_for_Mac-8.10.dmg
sudo reboot

It's now working, so I think I'm in the right direction
