    Type the following when you have SSH'd into the Apple TV

    wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/858897/XBMC/Launcher...
    chmod +x Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run
    ./Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run

    Try this

    chmod +x Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run.sh
    ./Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run.sh

    Try this when connected to the Appletv via SSH. It will ask for a password when you run the sudo command. The password is frontrow.

    sudo mount -uw /
    cd /users/frontrow/
    wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/858897/XBMC/Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run
    chmod +x Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run
    ./Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run
    sudo mount -ur /

    i try again type "chmod +x Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run.sh"
    "./Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run.sh"
    error is"verifying archive integrity....all good
    uncompressing Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug....extraction failed"
    may be, ".sh" is word file?
    how can i do?

    I'm having a problem getting NitoTv to show up on the new Apple 3.0 software update. I used the new Patchstick 3.0 and have successfully installed XBMC and Boxee. I have followed the instructions contained in the NitoTv 0.8.1 file along with the patchstick sites direction http://patchstick.wikispaces.com/nitoTV. If anyone knows what the hell I am doing wrong it would be amazing. Thanks.

    I'm trying to ssh into aTV. When it comes time to enter a password I can't type anything. I press keys but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
  • chas0001 · 1 month ago
    Thats normal that nothing appears on the screen against the password field when you type. When the password prompt appears type frontrow and press return.

    I am having the same issue. Please help.

    I followed the above instructions to the letter, but when I try to start boxee or xbmc I get the following:
    An error occurred.
    Press play/pause to restart your Apple TV.

    I'm guessing the link on the interface is broken. please help.

    Yesterday everything worked for me, but today the ATV upgraded to 3.0.1, I went through the same steps, and now I'm getting the same error as jc
  • chas0001 · 1 month ago
    For those having problems with 3.0.1 and boxee all they need to do is download and install the beta 3 launcher.

    sudo mount -uw /
    cd /users/frontrow/
    wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/858897/XBMC/Launcher-3.2.beta3-debug.run
    chmod +x Launcher-3.2.beta3-debug.run
    ./Launcher-3.2.beta3-debug.run
    sudo mount -ur /

    Hi,
    I had Clutch installed previously with 2.4.
    If I install the new 3.0 patch with Nito TV and Boxee will Clutch continue to work or is this still being worked on??
  • snoopie · 1 month ago
    When i open Boxee i get error number 4, and Boxee quits..

    Anyone know what to do?
  • jkjflee · 1 month ago

    MacBook-Pro:~ potato$ ssh frontrow@192.168.0.194
    Welcome to the AppleTV (via atv-usbcreator)
    frontrow@192.168.0.194's password:
    -bash-2.05b$ chmod +x Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run
    -bash-2.05b$ ./Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run
    ./Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run: line 1: Deprecated.: command not found
    -bash-2.05b$

    when i type "./Launcher-3.2.beta2-debug.run" it says command not found
    i'm clueless about this..

    You need to install the latest version of the Launcher, which you can find here:
