Hello ppl,

I recently bought an Apple TV running 5.0.1 (as older models sadly were hard to come by). I'm about to do a tethered jailbreak tonight, which I figure will be quite ease.

As for the installation of XBMC itself, I'm a bit puzzled. The sticky (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=127369) contains 7 commands, whereas other guides I came across contain 12 commands. For example: http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/2012/05/02/i...r-windows/

My gut tells me to go with the sticky, but just in case: anybody know why the two differ?

And, just in case: is there any chance of bricking, or is it a matter of trying it until I get it right?

Use the sticky. The other guide installs updatebgone and stops updates of ios but xbmc has that as a dependency now.

Cool. Thanks.

Well, I'm stumped.

Jailbreaking - OK
Tethered boot - OK
Installing XBMC through SSH - OK

All of these steps went by without any errors. However, I still end up in Apple's native OS, with no option to select XBMC. XBMC installed fine (whenever I try to reinstall it through SSH it tells me all packages are already there), I just don't have a clue how I actually boot it up.

Now... how exactly do I go from here?

Thanks for the help, it's driving me nuts that I cannot figure what's going wrong.

There should just be an Icon for it on the atv2 interface? Xbmc will not automatically boot (unless you install something else) There was a Beigelist issue that was causing this but last I read it was fixed.

I thought so. Thing is... there isn't. :-(

Ferdi-T · 2012-05-17, 18:02

I tried the beigelist-fix too, but no results. When I look at the settings it shows the FC-logo, so the jailbreak itself went fine.

As long as you are jailbroken and then followed these instructions here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=127369) and they all worked then there is no reason why it shouldn't be there.

Ferdi-T · 2012-05-17, 19:29

Nope. I tried jailbreaking it again, went through all the instructions in the sticky, but nothing.. Just the regular ATV Menu screen.

deanmv · 2012-05-17, 20:01

There were no errors in the install? Maybe install it again and copy the output of the log to paste bin then post the link here?

Ferdi-T · 2012-05-17, 20:26

No errors that I saw, but looking at the syslog I do see a few.

I'll try reinstalling, but if you can reed something into it... would be very helpful!

). Bail out!

A borked jailbreak.

Ferdi-T · 2012-05-17, 22:37

Lol.

Well, I got it working. After ssh-ing a killall AppleTV the system soft rebooted and XBMC showed up together with Nito-tv. Good stuff.

Thanks for the support.
