I am not able to install this plugin…I posted on the forum on Jaman site, but don’t see that forum very active. Hoping that someone here may be able to advice…

I am also new to hacking the Apple TV (v2.2), but was able to hack it with the new ATVUSB Creator tool which was launched just a few days back and I now have the XBMC and Boxee as menu options.

I couldn’t find the ATV v2.2 dmg file on the web and so downloaded the v2.1 and then ran the patchstick creation process following the pdf file instruction. It gives an error saying that it doesn’t have space to copy the kerberos. Anyway, I went ahead and tried patching the ATV with this…it gave many errors on the screen of the TV attached to the ATV and then I aborted the process by pulling the power plug. The ATV recovered gracefully back to the v2.2 software with the XBMC/Boxee plugins still intact.

Appreciate any suggestions to proceed further…

Thanks,
new2appletv.

It appears that the upgrade to AppleTV firmware 2.1 breaks this patchstick.

I dont have access to an Intel Mac. Still keeping those PPCs going. I’m keen to add Jaman only at this point to a ‘virgin’ Apple TV. I’m not concerned about adding other plugins via SSH.

Is there anyone out there who could supply me with a patchstick?

Cheers

Jon

Catch 22 w AppleTV!
I think Jaman is losing a splendid customer relations opportunity by removing SSH capability of their plugin. Jaman makes no secret of their intent to move to a ‘rental’ business model in the future. By ‘opening’ up ‘their’ patchstick they would no doubt attract a (significant?) number of new recruits. Come on Jaman, do the right thing!

Works great for me.

In future releases it would be nice to browse and download movies WITHOUT them having to be downloaded to the computer first.

Just a thought.

I was disappointed to run this patch and find out that it doesn’t enable ssh. 🙁

Doesn’t make sense, as ssh and other files are on the patchstick. I gues that means Jaman just took the original patchstick but edited out the stuff other than installing their own player.

Means I need to make the standard patchstick and run it to get ssh and afp back on my AppleTV.

I have already informed Jaman about this. Hopefully, we’ll hear back from them soon.

Hi, I am also interested in a way to transfer just the Jaman plugin files without the patch stick. Be sure to let everyone know when that becomes available. Thanks for the great Jaman integration job.
