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
- 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]
- EXAMPLE:
- You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
- 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
- We need to download two files and install them manually from an existing mirror server.
- Find a local mirror for your location from the mirror list.
- copy the URL for that mirror
- 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
- For the second file, the download command will be
wget MIRROR_URL+test-builds/darwin/atv2/xbmc-20131201-8eed85b-Frodo-atv2.deb
- 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
- 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.
