[AppleTV] Launcher 2.0 released
#1
The new AppleTV Launcher 2.0 with "Multifinder" has been released.

Fixes failure to get into the frontscreen when launching XBMC.

It's a manual install using ssh/wget for now. Once we get more feedback, we will enable GUI updating Launcher 0.8 to Launcher 2.0 and update atvusb-creator/atv-win.

This version replaces booting into the standard Finder.app (frontrow) with a new Multifinder that handles application switching between XBMC and Frontrow. The only side effect is going back to Frontrow takes longer than previous as Frontrow is starting up from scratch.

How to Install:

Code:
ssh into your appletv.

wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/files/MultiFinderAllInOne-0.4.run

sudo sh MultiFinderAllInOne-0.4.run

answer Y to the last question.

Enjoy Smile

EDIT: Until further notice, don't install on pre-2.3 AppleTV OS.

EDIT: Fixed, the above link has been changed to the new version.

davilla,

I currently am running beta 2. In order to use this new Launcher, is it recommended to upgrade to Atlantis 8.10? XBMC is running fine for me under beta 2 so don't want to give up the stability I currently have.

It should be fine, this only updates the Launcher and adds Multifinder. XBMC for Mac is not touched.

Hi guys,
I have followed Davilla's instruction for adding this (multifinder now shows under update on ATV too). I am running ATV 2.2, Atlantis 8.10, but now when I launch xbmc my apple remote no longer works....Any ideas?

ssh in and see if xbmchelper is running (it should be running).

"ps -ax" -> pastebin site

EDIT:

"ps -axww" will show all the text regardless of window width.

I have problems with apple remote too :(
AppleTV, v2.2:
1) factory settings -> atvusb-creator b10 (ssh tools & bin utils) -> Launcher 2.0 -> XBMC 8.10 ‘Atlantis’ = apple remote not work
2) factory settings -> atvusb-creator b10 (ssh tools & bin utils) -> Launcher 2.0 -> XBMC ‘Atlantis’ Beta 2 = apple remote not work.
I try place Keymap.xml in /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/ but my ATV 'freeze' again :(

I'm having the same problems with the remote. It's not working in XBMC. The remote works with boxee however. I'm using ATV 2.2

This looks like xbmchelper but it's cut off so I can't see for sure.

Your original report says problem with XBMC but the pasted says Boxee is runningHuh?

/Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/MacOS/Boxee


Both of you have r2.2 running. It will be 6 hours until I can re-test under r2.2. There could be a problem with IR handling under pre-r2.3. xbmchelper should know to switch back to the previous IR handling for pre-r2.3.

make the terminal window wider so I can see all the text that is cut off on the right side.

EDIT:

"ps -axww" will show all the text regardless of window width.

to see if xbmchelper is running one can also do
Code:
ps auxww | grep -i xbmchelper

MaestroDD:

yes, it was test under r2.3. R2.3 was the reason for the creation of multifinder in the first place. Smile

You have two xbmchelpers running.

sudo kill 178
