Progress Report: Finally! (Not all that interesting to most, unfortunately.)

 

I installed the "Sources" plugin under 9A466, and it appears. Unfortunately, you can't set it up with itunes because itunes on another mac does not see FR2 as an ATV.

ATVFiles shows up! It works too, but only for iTunes playable files. No avi, MKV, etc. It will play m4v, h.264 mov files, and mp4.

Youtube does not appear "out of the box".

 

 

Also: you MUST install the AppleTV.framework to /Sys/Lib/PrvtFrmwrks (abbrv). Get this from the ATV 1.1 disk image.

Actually, this thread is trying to get AppleTV plugins to work on the new Front Row in leopard. Leopard's FR works on any Mac, and currently there is no effort being made to run Leopard on the Appletv.

How did you guys get the leopard beta running on the appletv, specifically which partition tables did you use, i heard that leopard requires guid but appletv runs apple partition maps, ill just try it out and see

Actually, when I think about it, Leo should run fine on the ATV. The ATV does use the GUID partition scheme, because APM only works for PPC. Also, Leopard works on both PPC/Intel macs, so therefore, it must support GPT and APM.

 

GUID Partition Table (GPT) - All Intel Procs.

Apple Partition Map (APM) - All PPC Procs.

 

So, in theory, Leopard should work just as Tiger does. Unfortunately, there is no version of semthex's kernel for Leopard. I'm not completely sure if the kernel is OS-specific, but I do think it is.
