[AppleTV2] Reading comics on apple tv 2g
#1
Hello I recently jailbroke my apple tv 2g and added xbmc. It is working great streaming my movies and music but I am having trouble with pictures. I have added a pictures folder for a source, and when I enter the folders the thumbnails come up for pictures and comics (cbz/cbr), but when I click to view them all I get is a black screen. Does anyone know a fix for this or possibly what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

Thanks guys, but unfortunately, being an ssh newb, I am not sure I installed correctly. Followed the updated instructions but got the following code. Don't think it installed, any hints?

And then, because I am stupid, I tried again and got this message:

So not really sure if it installed but the comics still do not play so I am assuming it did not.

It certainly didn't install it as this is just the sources update part.

Quote:apt-get -s install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

What does that return?

I tried the link where you had your fetching error (http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2//deb/or...os-arm.deb) and it worked for me, maybe you had a network issue?

Quote:apt-cache policy org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

What does this command return ?

Immediately I see if says there is no space left on the device. How can this be if the device has 8 gigs on it? I have only downloaded 4 add ons and only have 8 movies and 2 albums on my imac for which it has pulled the movie/music info. So now I guess two problems. How do I update and how do I clear room on my apple tv2?
