So I finally managed to get my ATV jailbroke & really want to be able to stream pandora to it. Is there a hack or process in order to accomplish this?


Thanks in advance.

Yes via an XBMC addon

I didn't see Pandora in the list of XBMC music add-ons. The Grooveshark add-on works but only against playlists (cannot see my full library or the radio options).

Tree for xbmc-pandora in xbmc-pandora - Gitorious - last updated in late 2010, so it *should* work on newest XBMC. I've not tested this.

I just installed this last night in XBMC. The easiest way to transfer the files via SCP is to use a client like WinSCP to access the AppleTV filesystem.

Check out this page: Pandora on AppleTV…via XBMC - Mac Mini Home Theater

The path is wrong in that article. At least, it did not jibe with the one I have. I found that the Applications directory was on the root. From the shell prompt (connecting through SSH to the Apple TV 2) I did:

Code:

find / -name XBMC.frappliance

and adjusted the destination path accordingly. The SCP line should read (for those of you who like the command line):

Code:

scp -r script.xbmc.pandora root@APPLE.TV.IPADDRESS:/Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/addons/

After that, add your email and password when you execute the script.

Smooth sailing
