Actually I would be interested in knowing how to make one of these.
Is is basically using a livecd image on the usb stick with atv-bootloader or is there more to it?

Crystalbuntu works smoother than the osx one on the atv.
My hd tv-rips are stuttering also here .
I recognized that when xbmc crashes here or i make an restart that i come to a login ubuntu window and that was it.
I could not login because i do not have a keyboard....
I have to plug the atv out and try again. any idea how to prevent this?

Re-did my image and reinstalled on USB flash.
For some reason, first time I installed image, there were basic visualizations when playing music, now none??!
Does anyone know what files are needed to get ProjectM working, where to download them, and also where to put the files within XBMC.
Thanks!
**EDIT**
After reading around, I think it is broke until after the merge and all....

So unmount it:
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
fsck.hfsplus /dev/sdb1
mkdir tmpmnt
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o /dev/sdb1 /home/xbmc/tmpmnt
sudo nano tmpmnt/com.apple.boot.plist
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
rm -rf tmpmnt
Then reboot to remount it at /media/Recovery. Generally running fsck.hfsplus fixes read-only FS issues

Ok i know this is my first post but i'm all out of ideas! I've Just read forum post after forum post trying to fix it myself, but i'm lost.
i created a USB with Sam's img and then booted the ATV with the USB in it and everything was great. Loved how everything was snappy and so much quicker then ATvos.
So After reading i felt i had enough info to go ahead and transfer the Img from the USB to the internal HD. I followed Davilla guild from the ATVbootloader site and backed up the internal to another USB stick. Everything went great with the back up, no probelms.
Went ahead and Logged in via Telnet and copied USB image over to internal hard drive via this;
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda bs=4096
everything went well. I checked the img on the USB and it matched the img on the internal drive.
went ahead a booted the ATV without any USB. Wouldn't boot to xbmc since it was looking for /dev/sdb2. i knew i had to change com.apple.boot.plist to /dev/sda2 from /dev/sdb2. heres my question; how do i change that file? i tried booting the ATV with a bootloader USB (so i can telnet) and can't seem to find a command that will let me get to the file and use nano to edit it. can anyone point me in the right direction!? i'm new to linux and just read 4 hours worth of how-to's but everything reads like a foreign language. Did i do something wrong? Should i have edit the file before hand? Sorry for such a long post and a newbish question.
