Hey Nito, can you tell me what exactly you're loading to get AFP server running on the ATV? The Wiki says to load "System/Library/CoreServices/AppleFileServer.app" and "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ByteRangeLocking.framework" , but something must still be missing as I always end up with

dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
Trace/BPT trap

when trying to execute AppleFileServer.

Thanks!
Doc

where did you install applefileserver from?

It and the framework came from a fresh 10.4.7 install on a 1.6 Core Duo Mac Mini. Is there somewhere else I should be getting it from?

Thanks!
Doc

the stuff installed for afp follows this script

http://www.benmackin.com/stuff/afpinstall.sh

it doesnt actually use the script, but this script is the basis for me getting afp client working on the appletv, im not sure which files are needed for server and which are for client. the smart installer grabs most of the afp requisites from a 1.0 appletv restore dmg, which should be basically the same as a fresh 10.4.7.

Never mind... I just pulled the required files out of the 10.4.9 Combo update and they work just fine. Must be something about my 10.4.7 binaries.

Thanks for the time!

I have an mvixusa Ultio which can play full 1080p files. It's quite nice but I am partial to my Apple TV. In fact I am quite happy with the "main" profile of H.264 which shows up nicely on my ATV. The thing I was uncertain about had to do with "rumours" that Apple had not given developers access to the video hardware but reserved that access for its own HD ( which seems to be the main profile). To my surprise 720p files played well from nitoTV as long as I used the main profile. Since I have nitoTV using Quicktime I then wondered if Quicktime from nitoTV had the same capabilities as video played from synced/bought iTunes.

If it doesn't matter much whether the GPU is used, does this mean that XBMC can handle main profile video? It didn't seem to the last time I tried but perhaps they don't use the same video drivers as nitoTV?

I have one more haunting question Nito that nobody seems able to answer. It's in this thread: http://www.hackint0sh.org/f98/79086.htm

The problem happens in both ATVFiles as well as Nito, so I know it's something on the ATV, not a plugin issue, just curious if you've ever run across this.

Thanks again!
Doc

DocTauri,
I gave you the reply you were looking for in that thread.

Hi,
I have been using NitoTV for a while now without any issues. However, since I have recently updated from 0.7.6 to 0.8.0, the DVD import option has disappeared. When clicking on the mounted Volume in "Files", the only menu item displayed is "play", whereas before I could also "import" at this place. Strangely, the "DVD-Alters"-menu still displays the "import"-option, however, upon clicking the item, I am taken to choose which title to play instead of the machine starting to import.

Maybe it has something to do with the translation? I was surprised to see nitoTV speak German to me since updating.

Thanks,
Robbe

strange, i dont remember touching anything in that section. ill have to take a look and see what could be preventing the item from showing up.
