I was able to upgrade my original Apple TV 40GB to a new 250GB drive over the past 24 hours. In addition I was able to use the Patchstick to add Boxee and XBMC along with gaining access to my ATV via AFP with the help of afpinstall.sh script.

Here’s my question. Prior to running the afpinstall.sh I was able to run XBMC and Boxee without any issues. Now when I launch XBMC, it starts in a window, not full screen. I tried setting the display option to Fullscreen but that just blanks the screen.

Boxee has a similar issue. The application is running but you can see the User Interface (UI).

I’m making an assumption that the afpinstall.sh script possibly changed some display setting which has caused this to happen.

Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what’s the resolution.

Thanks!

I took apart my Apple TV last night and followed all of the instructions to enable SSH and when I tried to SSH into it using Terminal. I get a SSH exchange notifiction rejection error.

I am running 2.3 of the Apple TV software.

Do I need to open up a port in my Linksys Router?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick

i also did the “chmod +x /Volumes/OSBoot/usr/sbin/sshd” and copy the
ssh.plist from my MacBook 10.5.5. Need Help I been at it with no success

“As discussed in the forum, these instructions don’t quite get the full way for enabling SSH on a “Take 2″ AppleTV.

Simply following them and trying to SSH to the AppleTV will result in an error message:

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

In addition to copying over /usr/sbin/sshd and /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist per the above, the forum recommends (and I can attest to this working) also copying the following files:

* /usr/bin/ssh
* /usr/bin/ssh-add
* /usr/bin/ssh-agent
* /usr/bin/ssh-keygen
* /usr/bin/ssh-keyscan
* /usr/bin/scp
* /usr/libexec/sftp-server
* /usr/libexec/ssh-keysign
* /usr/libexec/sshd-keygen-wrapper

You only need to copy over /usr/libexec/sftp-server, /usr/libexec/sshd-keygen-wrapper, and the kerberos framework. The other files would be needed if you wanted to ssh out of the appletv to other devices, but not to ssh into it.

* Note: /usr/bin/ssh-keygen is also required since this one generates the host keys first time you SSH to your AppleTV! (hence it takes a while that 1st time). ”

I enter frontrow but does not work

debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
debug1: Connecting to appletv.local [192.168.1.16] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 192.168.1.16 port 22: Connection refused

Any ideas?
