Thanks, but I should have mentioned it was already on the local drive, transferred via ssh.
I also tried to install it on my pc and it works fine there, so I don't think the zip file is at fault.

So I got it figured out: using scp left the file ownership at root, and so xbmc was unable to read the file. I changed it and it worked.
I still think the ui should show an error message instead of just failing silently.

You ssh to your appletv and you do "chown mobile filename.zp"
(you could do chmod with filezilla but it is less 'clean')

ok, I've downloaded the zip files.
I put them on my atv2 via cyberduck /private/var/mobile
system>add-ons>install from zip file> select the folder and nothing is in it to install anything.
tried with a few different zip files
what am I missing?

so all I have to do is ssh into my apple tv and type in "chown mobile repository.aeon.nox.zip" and hit enter and I'll be able to install the skin?
