On AppleTV 1 (the silver one) with ATVFlash, you can also use Cyberduck, create a new connection SSH, connect as for ATVFlash with ‘frontrow@appletv.local’ pw frontrow
You will then be logged in the ATVFlash directory : /mnt/Scratch/Users/frontrow/
Go up to the mnt directory and there you will find the ‘Media’ directory, there are all the files synced with iTues and iPhoto: all the music and all the Photos 🙂
They are stored in maps P00 up to P99 with weird names, but it doesn’t matter as far as the content is good !!!

Worked great. Although when I import photos back to iPhoto, is there any way to get it to use the photo library so it will restore the original albums/directory structure. AppleTV stores the images in directories named P01, P02, P03…etc. so when importing into iPhoto it imports each of these as an album.

Thanks for the great info. When I use he command:
$> scp -1 -r frontrow@192.168.27.150:/mnt/Media/Photos/ /tmp/
the files download locally to to a folder “tmp” my AppleTV. How can I get the file to download to my Mac?

Thanks.

Lost my laptop and backup hard drive in one bad night, but still have the photos on ATV.
I've hacked my ATV before, then updated to 3.0.2.

So, currently, my legit 3.0.2 ATV is about to get a visit by Mr. Patchstick, but I have this nagging feeling the ATV will wipe all content during patching. Normally solved by a quick sync with iTunes, but.....this would defeat what I'm trying to do.

Anyone in the same boat as me? Ideas?

My appleTV is running the latest software; is there any way to enable SSH through a patchstick? Or does it require opening the unit and installing a new hard drive.

Hi! Is there a way to reconstruct the music DB organization (by artist, album…), having the recovered content of “Media” partition?
