How do i install Xbmc on 4.4.1 ? - zidewinder - 2011-10-22 Can we ppl who is not so good on this stuff get a dummie guide how to get Xbmc to work on IOS 4.4.1 1. I started to install Nito Tv. Shall i do that? 2. When i tried to install Xbmc Apple tv got no space for it. Installation failed. How do i fix that on a easy way? After 5 hours of trying to get it work and it ends with the Atv2 will not start, i want to throw the thing in the wall... But i think its better to ask tpu guys. - Ned Scott - 2011-10-22 Don't use Nito TV Do this: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_on_Apple_TV_2 - aartau - 2011-10-22 Specifically for 4.4.1, the workaround to the space issue is here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=112693 - zidewinder - 2011-10-22 Ned Scott Wrote:Don't use Nito TV Great guide, except its not saying anything about how to get more free space on harddrive. - thechrisreese - 2011-10-22 http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=917606&postcount=31 that - zidewinder - 2011-10-22 Thank you. Now its working. I first followed this steps. ssh root@apple-tv mkdir -p /private/var/Applications cd /Applications mv * /private/var/Applications cd / rmdir /Applications (This won't delete unless the directory is empty...) ln -s /private/var/Applications /Applications cd And after that i followed this link. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_on_Apple_TV_2 - Ned Scott - 2011-10-23 ah, sym link got wiped out in the upgrade, gotcha. I wasn't watching the other thread closely enough (just skimmed through it). - Joe-ATV2 - 2011-10-23 The procedure described by zidewinder didn't work for me :-( You can find more informations "installing XBMC on iOS 4.4.1" in this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=112693 - b-real - 2011-10-23 This is hard damit. Will try to restore one more time and then the posted guide above tho I can't say I understand any of it - zidewinder - 2011-10-23 Joe-ATV2 Wrote:The procedure described by zidewinder didn't work for me :-( Where did it not work for you? - zidewinder - 2011-10-23 Hello Becouse i had so much trouble to get it work, i hope i can help more ppl with this guide. And im writing like i did it. Using a Windows machine. 1. First jailbreak ATV2 with Seasonpass. (not going in how to do that in this forum) 2. When ATV2 is running use the program Putty to SSH inside ATV2. (root/alpine is default login/psw) 3. Copy and paste this code below Code: mkdir -p /private/var/Applications (Now you have moved all files from /Applications to /private/var/Applications to free some space on the first partition. Also deleted the /Applications map and did some link to the new directory. Not 100% sure about the last part) 4. Now we need first to install the Xbmc cydia build. Copy and paste again. Code: apt-get install wget (Dont know a shit what all of this commands does, but i did all of them and ignored all errors and after that Xbmc does a softreboot and you have Xbmc) 5. Now we install the latest nightly. Compiled 23 oct. Copy and paste Code: wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/xbmc-20111022-7e8111b-master-atv2.deb Congratulations. Now you have a fully worked Xbmc on 4.4.1 A last notification if the commands hangs. Note: If the dpkg -i command hangs, stop it with CTRL+C so it can use the updated removal script in the new package. If that doesn't work, you'll need to manually remove the XBMC directory before installing the nightly, e.g. "rm -r /Applications/XBMC.frappliance" (will likely take 2 tries). - b-real - 2011-10-24 zidewinder Wrote:Congratulations.
