Hi,

I had an AppleTV that I hacked using a patchstick.

I have accidentally upgraded it to v1.1 within the AppleTV and therefore did not use the 'Safe Method' posted on several websites. I have done a factory restore which has brought the software version back to the original 1.0 and re-hacked using patchstick.

However, I no longer have all the plugins available in AwkwardTV.

The ATV Files plugin 'appears' to have worked but when I use it, it is defaulting to the 'Downloads' folder and no files are showing even though I have a movie file in it on my imac. Plugins like NitoTv are not there.

Have I damaged the AppleTV in anyway?

All I want to be able to do is to play movie files with AC-3 passthough...no point if I cannot use my sound system to it's full. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...THANK YOU!

Kind regards, Phil.

Don't worry man, i also did it.
I had to restart it with factory settings and hack it again...
And i haven't a Mac! So i had to disassemble the disk and connect it to my windows PC to install awkwark tv.
Hard work, but someone has to do it.

Hi there, thanks for the reply...

I've done what you have said and the following have installed the following after a factory reset back to 1.0:

nittoTV + some of the extras
Safe Upgrade to 1.1
Smart Installer
Saphire

In fact everything I install works fine except:

1. YouTube only plays Audio...no video shown on clips, just the YouTube logo!
2. I Cannot use NittoTV to install Perian, it says I do not have the correct permissions, however, I have done the correct command in SSH and all other plugins (which need permissions) have installed fine.
3. I am struggling to locate any videos/tv shows on my imac. Can someone clarify exactly what folder I need to put them in on my imac to enable me to stream them to the AppleTV. (I understand that DIVX/XVID videos cannot be added directly to itunes.) I cannot see any videos in Saphire or nitoTV.

I am completely confused?!! I can run a Windows based network with four servers and 50 clients but being a complete noob in OSX is tough.

Kind regards,

Phil.
