User:Ned Scott/emergency install instructions

This might not work, and even if it does, XBMC won't be able to update add-ons, so they might also be broken out of the box.

So http://mirrors.xbmc.org is down and you want to install XBMC on your Apple TV 2? Here are the manual install instructions for ATV2s that have software version 5.0 or higher. This will be removed once http://mirrors.xbmc.org is back up.

From scratch, for ATV software version 5.0 or higher

1. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2. Note, you need to replace "YOUR.ATV2.IP.ADDRESS" with the IP address of the Apple TV:

   ssh [email protected]

   EXAMPLE: ssh [email protected]

2. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
3. Continue to enter the following commands:

   apt-get install wget

   wget -O- http://apt.awkwardtv.org/awkwardtv.pub | apt-key add -

   echo "deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list

   apt-get update

4. We need to download two files and install them manually from an existing mirror server.
   1. Find a local mirror for your location from the mirror list.
   2. copy the URL for that mirror
   3. For the first file, the download command will be wget MIRROR_URL+apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock_1.0-5_iphoneos-arm.deb

      EXAMPLE: wget http://fake-domain.name.here/xbmc/apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock_1.0-5_iphoneos-arm.deb

   4. For the second file, the download command will be wget MIRROR_URL+test-builds/darwin/atv2/xbmc-20131201-8eed85b-Frodo-atv2.deb

      EXAMPLE: wget http://fake-domain.name.here/xbmc/atv2/xbmc-20131201-8eed85b-Frodo-atv2.deb

   5. Now we install the files by typing in these two lines, in order, followed by enter/return:

      dpkg -i org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock_1.0-5_iphoneos-arm.deb

      dpkg -i xbmc-20131201-8eed85b-Frodo-atv2.deb

5. Now we finish off the normal install process by entering the following commands, in order, followed by return/enter

   mkdir -p /Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances

   apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

   mkdir -p /Applications/XBMC.frappliance

You might want to rerun the normal instructions once http://mirrors.xbmc.org is back up.
