Installing latest SVN build on Apple TV. - phirstube - 2009-06-10
I am trying to get MiniMeedia installed and it requires the latest SVN build. I have WinSCP and putty installed and can connect via SSH. How does one go about getting the latest SVN build and install it on the apple tv?

sorry that tutorial only covers installing from mac os x to apple tv...not windows to apple tv

also that download links takes you to a .dmg file....again not suitable for a windows to apple tv install....
trust me i have burned these bridges before.

If I had an ITV I'd know how to make it for you people. but since it is a dmg can't you either extract it on a pc or mount it on a mac and just ftp the contents over to your ITV?

Then move the dmg to the appletv and mount it there. The Apple is an OSX box after all. In fact, if you have wget or curl on the AppleTV, you can fetch it right from the AppleTV and skip the Windows system. That of course means using a SSH client.
@TheQuestor; the dmg is the proper format for distribution. Anything else is just asking for trouble.

seems to work fine. Basically it installs a filter on windows that allows you to mount HFS files but you need a java vm installed also. I've tried it and it works like a charm to mount and explore and extract dmg file.
I only recently moved from a standard zip archive of xbmc.app to a dmg installer after being asked quite a few times for this feature.
Sorry if it made your life more difficult but that link above should give you the ability to update your XBMC on your ITV again.

Grab a .dmg that was built with 10.4 support (not sure about those links posted above) and scp it to your ATV. Then download the script Launcher uses to update XBMC, which can be found in the current update_urls.plist. After that, just run the install script with the downloaded dmg as parameter:
Code:
wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/svn/tags/xbmc-info/scripts/xbmc-9.04_update.sh
chmod +x xbmc-9.04_update.sh
./xbmc-9.04_update.sh xyz.dmgIf this sounds somewhat strange, it's probably best to wait for someone from the community to provide you with new builds on the ATV. Tsf42m might be the right guy to poke (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=44301)

Great. Maybe something to add to your build notes?
Any special reason you rar them? Doesn't seem to decrease size.

Because my download counter expects all my archives to be in rar format. Just how I wrote it last year, and I have no real reason to change, at least not at the moment.

I was able to get it updated. MiniMeedia shows a distorted background. I am working on fixing that now.
