Joe-ATV2 Wrote:Dear XBMC specialists,
after my beloved XBMC started up with a black screen two days ago, I tried to reanimate it for hours with no success. Finally I had to update to iOS 4.4.1 (ioS 5) to get it to work again.
After a tethered SOP I wanted to bring back my XBMC using the following commands with WinSCP console wih no success:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
wget http://mirror.netcologne.de/xbmc/nightli...r-atv2.deb
dpkg -i xbmc-20111020.bc49ac0-master-atv2.deb
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----> While installing I had the following error: <----
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
/private/var/root$ dpkg -i xbmc-20111021-79cceb5-master-atv2.deb

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I rebooted and tethered again and no XBMC appears!
The folder "XBMC.frappliance" is filled with content under "/private/var/Applications" and I can see the shortcut "Applications" in the root directory.
What am I doing wrong?
Please help me to bring back my XBMC on 4.4.1!
Thx in advance,
Joe

stevellion Wrote:Just to add to this - I have it working too - it's my first AppleTV - and like a complete knob-head, I upgraded it.. (twat!)..
So - I have to make it work with the latest SeasonPass.
(XBMC was the ONLY reason I bought the AppleTV).
So - yes, it works.. Running the 20/11/2011 nightly and it's good.
I TOO had the out of space issue, I solved it in a different (but less elegant) way, as I'm a bit new onto darwin.
Instead of moving the whole Application directory, I just created /private/var/Applications/XBMC.frapplication and created a symlink to that from /Application.
commads:
mkdir -p /private/var/Applications/XBMC.frappliance
ln -s /private/var/Applications/XBMC.frappliance /Application/XBMC.frappliance
This worked to get the first install on, (with apt-get)
but when I tried to dpkg on the nightly, it kept deleting the symlink and installing it onto /Applications - (and running out of space).
I then uninstalled using apt-get, created my sym link again and then dpkg installed.. Hey presto, it works.
Question:
Are there any issues with moving the main AppleTV.app (in /Applications) into /private/var, or will that cause any other issues that I'm unaware of.
I think moving the whole /Applications is a much better solution if it's possible.
Comments please?

Another thing is that when I tried to install the xbmc.org it did not installed it correctly because of the folder destination. after that the screen desapeared and the system turned off. I tried to thether boot again and connected but after 5 minutes turn back off.
I re-started the whole jailbrake and done but now i do not know which step was the one that cause the whole problem.
thank you for all your help
