Apple Tv 1 Breaking

[filletboy]

I have (the first of many LOL) questions concerning adding XBMC to an Apple 1

on the directions here it says get ATV USB Creator
then launch ...leave settings, press Create Using, wait

Then it says to unplug Apple Tv Device...

One question is; where was plugged in prior to this unplugging???

Then it says to plug it back in after plugging in thumb drive (first)

Another question; is the Apple box connected to Tv or Computer while thumb drive process???

Thanks, very new to apple 1

apple 1 is plugged in to wall, hdmi is plugged in to tv and apple tv, unplug from wall put usb stick that you created in back of apple tv plug back in. let the usb do its thing unplug from wall take usb out plug back in setup xbmc. that's it

cant get this to start at all but i will try again

Edit:
Yeah, keeps saying that it cannot run in dos mode ....but heck, i am doing this on a mac computer

YZF

I was trying to load it from flash so i deleted flash info and started on MAC and it seems to drop info on flash for me

This is cool LOL

Next question

will the hub wizard work with EDEN?

There are only 2 options under XBMC -Launcher;
XBMC 10.1- Dharma and
XBMC 11.0- Eden

I tried Eden and the hub wizard says dependencies not met

 

[showgun]

It works on frodo

 

[showgun]

If your doing xbmc on ATV1 IT REALLY SHOULD ONLY BE A LINUX BUILD:

OPENELEC
CRYSTALBUNTU

Many add-ons dont work on Eden and when we update our add-ons for Gotham Eden will be left completely unsupported

 

[filletboy]

I am trying crystalbuntu but wonder if I need to remove Eden first?

I got the crystal to work on pc but when i plug into apple 1 and replace cord, it does nothing (EDEN remains)

[I agree addons wont work at all with eden}

 

[showgun]

Because you install the software. You should check YouTube. There is wealth of knowledge that you need to catch up on regarding these basics

You are spinning your wheels.

If you want crstalbuntu use Mac Install here

If you choose Openelec use Mac Install Here

This will load Linux XBMC Frodo, follow the instructions from either site. Once done the ATV will boot straight to XBMC, no Apple software. You do not need to do anything else.

 

[filletboy]

I was definitely spinning my wheels and learning the hard way but as stated, once I checked the crystal site, I was off and running

Thanks to everyone here, I now have wizzy running LOL
Now I gotta play a little more as it seems i lost volume (hahahha fun never ends)

Thanks a bunch everyone .....now for the volume issue

 

[filletboy]

If i am guessing right....i need sound cables on back of apple 1? (which don't have now lolol)

just used to OUYA and apple 2

 

[Flipmode]

If you are using HDMI go to Settings > System > Audio Output
Near the bottom change the sound to HDMI, there will be 2 spots.
Off the top of my head I cannot remember the exact wording.

Ok here you GO

 

[filletboy]

Darn....you guys are good ....and VERY helpful. I can't thank all of you enough.

*hands em all a cold beverage*

Cheers


EDIT: and here i thought I was gonna have to go and buy cables

Now, do you suggest the 1080 card or just 'grin and bear it' LOL

 

[showgun]

I did the broadcom card and loved it! But! You! Will! Lose! WiFi!

Actually prefer Ethernet and still have not tried WIFI


OK, new problem LOLOL
How do i shut down box without unplug???

when i go to xbmc control, xbmc reboots
if I go to 'Power sytem off, it shuts down xbmc but
rpcbind words come on screen saying ' Restart with rpcbind-w' but I am not sure (other than pulling the plug) what to do now?
(yes- flash is removed)

Also, when I plug in box, it boots to xbmc (which is not a problem but....how do i get to home screen, or i should say, shut off xbmc??
Just note that i have no use for home (apple) screen but just wondering if i can get there??

No need to power off. Most of these boxes are designed for low power consumption and standbye mode. Navigate to scree savers select what you want and enable power conervation
