If not, I'll sit on RC1 for a bit longer, but I'd appreciate a build that's cleaned up and stable (and plays VC1, which my installation doesn't).

Cheers!


Oh gee, I'll jump on the bandwagon too! Of course you guys are probably busy though, etc. so don't take this as a sign of rudeness, please - but merely evidence of anticipation! Big Grin

I note, Sam, that you made mention of an installer that would take care of transferring the image from USB to the internal HDD in your next update. Is that still something you intend to do?


Even a rough timeframe would be much appreciated! Please don't say it will be ready "when it's ready" ! Tongue

See Sam's twitter account.

He said that he will have a new distro available around christmas. Although, his most recent post says that he has been quite ill lately. So my guess is that it won't be ready before christmas. Not a big deal to me. I'm running fine for now. So I can wait.


- joncgde2 - 2010-12-20

Oh gee, ill - shame to hear. Hoe you get better, Sam - and that whatever you're suffering from isn't too serious!

I'm also running a perfectly functioning aTV - just being paranoid. Take your time, Sam. Smile

With XBMC Live just do:

Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live stop
sudo nvidia-installer --update
reboot

Did you need to do anything special to upgrade your nvidia drivers? It it as simple as:

aptitude install nvidia-glx-260

Oh dear - that's not so good. Take it easy until you're properly recovered, Sam, especially with stuff like this - your health is more important than me finally getting to watch Green Zone Smile

I got to ask again Wink


is it possible to activate the USB - port with sams / pins image?
Also i would like install samba to share the media on the USB HDD connected to my appleTV. Is this possible?

ams / pins image is linux based, there are no issues with the USB port, it just works. you will need to watch what disk format you use, hfsplus non-journaled should work.

thanks Smile

The HDD is allready in HSF+ format ... so no problem there. But how about sharing the files stored on the USB hdd via samba?

I have an old xBox running XBMC in my Bedroom - would be great to have access Smile

It's linux so investigate running a samba server, "sudo apt-get install samba" or something like that.

Good things come to those who wait. I've been quite ill recently, but I'm now working on the distros. I can actually put something out soon, now that Dharma has gone final.

Hooray! Thanks for all your work Sam. I've been sitting patiently watching/waiting for this for a while now, you're a star!

Is this still the preferred way to update?

Read a couple of posts back, evandena - preferable to just wait for Dharma final.
