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?

[sponkemonke]

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

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

anyone has any thoughst on why this might be? sounds like many folks here have run this on 20" iMac without trouble?

thanks!

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....

I get this as well as the volume changing, but I presume bootsee's suggestion would fix this.

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

Has anyone that had the issue of back row crashing after intro video figured out what was wrong?

[joachim_vanhove]

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!!!

[philznow]

is there a way of docking the front row by anychance also anyway of changing the resolution and also is there a way to use my mac book using the mini dvi to vga to put the front row on the second screen ?

[hemiola]

Any word if the new update will work with this method ?  Or do we need to wait for a new build of the hacked version?

[jay.tyler]

is anybody working on a hack to get the "take 2" software running on Macs?

[aragorn]

yeah, i definitely also can`t wait for this...

[netcastle]

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.

[thespottedelf]

Could you install Atv take two onto a mac using this same method? or is it completely different?

[netcastle]

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.

Need some help, hopefully this thread still gets checked

I've tried for the last 2 days to get AppleTV to work on my Mac Mini running Leopard 10.5

I get as far as the sceen going black right after I push the menu button on my remote or double click the Front Row Icon in Applications. It stays black for a few seconds before bringing me back to the dashboard.

Any ideas???

Thanks

It doesn't work on leopard... only on tiger.
