skredii Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Folks! This is for any apple/mac freak out there. Just to let you know, I finally hacked Apple TV take 2 to run on any mac. I called it ATV4mac and version 1.2 has been released. It's running instead of Front Row.app, has support for keyboard control, adds a 'Return to mac' menu to nicely quit the app, and integrates the latest ATVFiles plugin for browsing filesystem and Couch Surfer for surfing the internet. You can join #atv4mac on irc.osx86.hu for more info or just go there http://tinyurl.com/2jr2u7 Respect, skr3dii - EDIT - THIS RELEASE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH LEOPARD! YOU NEED TIGER 10.4.8 - 10.4.11! If you installed it on Leopard per inadvertence, just restore the following frameworks from your Leopard install DVD: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework /System/Library/Frameworks/QuartzCore.framework Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93299-apple-tv-take-2-runs-on-a-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 You made it? Are you sure you aren't just taking credit for other people's work..? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93299-apple-tv-take-2-runs-on-a-mac/#findComment-665210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomniusX Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Em.. i didn't.. plus i don't know if the original poster made that.. but.. is it bad to re-upload it in case it drops?

skredii Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Colonel, yes it is my work. I did patch it myself to get the new TAKE II working. I also made the Quit plugin. I added work from Brandon Holland for the keyboard support and Couch Surfer plugin. I also added the ATVFiles plugin from Eric Steil. If you read on my site, I gave credits to all those people. BTW, it is not compatible with Leopard yet!! You need Tiger 10.4.8 - 10.4.11 to try this.

Software Updater Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks mate. Good job. I would expect that you have begun porting it to Leopard, is that a fair assumption?

Urbz Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 skredii, really, really good work! So how'd you do it? What did you modify? Nice job! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93299-apple-tv-take-2-runs-on-a-mac/#findComment-665489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skredii Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 You just need to install Tiger 10.4.8 minimum on a spare partition or external HD. Then go inspect the first image of my post here: http://tinyurl.com/2jr2u7 Install the package and reboot. Then activate Apple TV with Apple+Esc or Menu on the remote. I'll digg for a way to get this working on Leopard.

skredii Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 That's because your Universal Unique Identifier does not match the one defined in AppleTV.framework. Check the topic in #atv4mac on irc.osx86.hu, there is a link in case of problems.

vbetts Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Can't get it to work on a G4 Imac(1.2 or something like that ghz Geforce 5200) Installs just fine, but after installation and restart, it just hangs on the startup screen. Everything moves, but it won't start up. I'll restore the files later and see if that fixes it. It should.

idividebyzero Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I hope a leopard version comes out soon. I mainly want to use this to get high quality youtube videos instead of the {censored} quality on youtube.com (unless somebody knows an alternative way to watch high quality videos that the appletv and iphone get?)
