bsod Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 My keyboard works with IRKeyboardEmu.kext by b.holland but for some reason if i press Up on my keyboard, the kext thinks it has been pressed 5 or 6 times. So it is impossible to actually navigate the menus, anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sponkemonke Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Followed all the instructions. I see that intro video. Then the screen goes blank for a few seconds then it loads the OSX Finder. Anyone know whats happening? Note this on a Hackintosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootsee Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Mine is running fine. I use RemoteBuddy with Keyspan RF remote for Frontrow. Volume works just fine (if u want to disable the fact that it changes with the up/down keys, remove RCD.app from /system/library/coreservices) And set the REMOTE BUDDY to respond to UP(or Donw) key held to Volume UP/DOwn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im getting exactly the same on a 1.83Ghz CD MacBook running 10.4.10. Strangely it works fine on my Hackintosh, but as I have no IR I can't control it.... My keyboard works with IRKeyboardEmu.kext by b.holland but for some reason if i press Up on my keyboard, the kext thinks it has been pressed 5 or 6 times. So it is impossible to actually navigate the menus, anyone else have this problem? I get this as well as the volume changing, but I presume bootsee's suggestion would fix this.

Ozir Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Updating to 1.1 question: I grabbed the Apple TV 1.1 installer from the interwebs. Do I just run it on my mac mini (currently running aTV 1.0) or are there some steps I must take? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joachim_vanhove Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have a question on installing the original Front Row app again I've tried to put the backup of the original back into the /System/Library/CoreServices/ directory and there I have to click Authenticate, Replace, and give my password. But then i get an error messages that tells me that it can't complete the operation because I don't have enough rights... Wo now i don't have any front row when i press my menu button on the remote... what can I do about it? thanx!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netcastle Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Just found this. It looks like it is only running on Tiger. But what is so intriguing about it is that this might somehow allow us to use Nvidia GPU decoding of h264 which is what the @tv uses. I will look into it further, but I hope this re-ignites the initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespottedelf Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Could you install Atv take two onto a mac using this same method? or is it completely different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netcastle Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm not sure if this guy did this on a mac or a hack. I haven't yet looked into the discussion on the IRC. I'll see what I can find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow- Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Does anyone still happen to have that patched Finder executable, ATV4mac or the BackRow Installer?It's nowhere to be found on the internet.I'm trying to patch together a virtual AppleTV to act as an iTunes Server, actually syncing the physical audio files.To my knowledge, the 1st gen AppleTV was the only device that ever did this without user interaction. Why hasn't anyone tried this?Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
