Evernote Web: "Apple TV: How to get Boxee working on ATV3.0.1

Submitted Nov 03, 2009 by marcel hass


As many of you have found out updating AppleTV to 3.0 has removed Boxee from the Menu, if you're reading this and not comfortable with command lines, this is an easy process, that should take no more than a couple of minutes.

Special thanks to the XBMC guys for solving this issue ...

1) 'patchstick' the 3.0 ATV (You should just use your old patchstick you used previously on the ATV )
2) ssh into it the ATV and download 3.2 Launcher


Type:
wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/files/Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run

3) Install the Launcher .


Type:
chmod +x Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run

Type :
./Launcher-3.2.1-debug.run

Enter the appropriate password 'frontrow' and answer 'Y' when it asks to restart the finder.


4) From your ATV Menu> Launcher > Downloads, install Boxee alpha 0.9.14.6992.

Note: Please do not select the Launcher 3.1

5) Launch Boxee from ATV Menu >Launcher >Boxee ."
