Hi all

I hope this hasnt been posted anywhere else and im missing it.

I have managed to install firecore on my apple tv with 5.0(4099) software and os 5.1.

I tried to install XMBC using this info using putty, there was an error i think on the 2nd to last step i think.

apt-get update
mkdir -p /Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
mkdir -p /Applications/XBMC.frappliance
wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org...os-arm.deb
dpkg -i org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb
rm org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb

Is this all i have to type ? do you have to type reboot after like before? I did type reboot and i had to do a itunes restore after. Am i missing anything obvious to you guys?
Any tips will be greatly appreciated as i have spent 3 hours on it already.....

Thanks guys

P.s I have read this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=127369 but im still at a bit of a loss!

Is this just to update it having ai installed already ?? Do you type something different for 1st time install??

Yes, those are the steps. No, you don't have to reboot.

Without knowing what error you got, if any, we can't really help you. If you run these steps, do you not have XBMC on your menu?

I didnt see it but i tried to reboot and it when pear shaped.

Can this def work with my firmware?

And do i just disconnect putty ? how shall i do this? just close it down ?

You're on a tethered jailbreak - if you reboot you need to connect the ATV2 back to a computer again to reboot.

Once you have it booted, don't reboot it!

i can just power it off like normal ?

You can let it go to sleep, but that's it. Don't unplug it or reboot it - otherwise, you need to reconnect it to your PC to perform the tethered boot again.

Thanks i will give it a try tomorrow. Cant face it agaian today !! Thanks for your help.

If anything goes a bit wonky you can also SSH in and run and this will "restart" the software but will mean that you don't have to tethered boot. Basically what XBMC does when you quit it.

Right this is where i am up to
I have firecore on and tried to install xbmc.
I have xbmc showing on apple tv with no icon.
There was a error after typeing the dropbox code


Then this at the end


And this is my appletv xbmc icon - missing


Any ideas?
I click on xbmc and it trys to load then jumps back to main screen.

Thanks in advance.

There was an error getting the file hence the line: ERROR 404 NOT FOUND.

Code:

wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb

Thanks for the quick reply,

Am I ok to just re type the whole code in putty again?
Could you please give me the whole code? I think the code you gave me is slightly different.

Thanks.

You shouldn't have to start the whole thing again, just retry and carry on from

So don't type any of the other code. Go straight in and add this and close?

Run and let it do it's thing. Then and then

Your my friend are a LEGEND !!!!!!!!

ANy suggestions on what I should use now addons wise?

Any step by step instructions for a dumb ass would be much appreciated.

Thanks again dude.
