AwkwardTV Community & Forums • View topic - nitoTV 0.3.1a/b (take two) released!: Sorry another release right before work (it was either that or chancing not till tomorrow- sorry) update as usual internally (if you already have nitoTV installed) settings - > install software - > update nitoTV

or

http://nitosoft.com/nitoTVInstaller_tt.zip

heres a clip from the about file on update info.

General Update Info 0.3.1
===================

The fixPerm script works again, AND the installer section is more lenient with which permissions are acceptable to run. More importantly, the smart installer will work from a 1.0 AppleTV restore image. So if you have a copy of the recovery.dmg from a 1.0 AppleTV in the /Users/frontrow/Documents folder it will install AFP, install scripting components (fixes POD and emulators in take 2 full), remote desktop and perl. The play folder bug is fixed, and DVD playback should go to mplayer again rather than just locking up. We have cover art viewing and generating returning, unplayed markers as well, coming much closer to catching the Take 2 version up to the 1.x functionality.

Lack of time:

1. File Copy / Paste

Potential code re-writes:

1. On screen display in quicktime
2. dvd playback framework (dvd plays in mplayer for now)
3. metadata

Bit of a delayed post update, the release day was a busy day as was yesterday. there appears to be a REALLY stupid problem with the permission check that i THOUGHT i totally fixed when doing the transition to leopard but i guess i didnt. sorry about that- the following code will fix the permission check for any installers that arent working.

Code: Select all
sudo mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/nitoTV.frappliance/Contents/Resources/
sudo chmod 755 nitoHelper
sudo chmod u+s nitoHelper


when i have more time this week im going to start up a new wiki for the take 2 version of nitoTV to focus on the differences between the two versions. (1.x and take 2)

the about file / section has all the updates as usual, no reason to post the info that is repeated in a few different places.

Two major changes in 0.2.2, perian installer and smart installer both are directly tested and verified to work in the full take 2 environment. smart installer will also take care of usb patching for take 2 (verified) as well :) same links as before. (or grab it internally if you already have 0.2.x installed)

beta 0.2, it's 4:45 am so ill keep it short.

download and follow install instructions

http://nitosoft.com/nitoTVInstaller_tt.zip

NOTES:

fixed the linker error with AppleShareClientCore.framework / AppleShareClient.framework. Will load, but bonjour section will still crash if those frameworks are missing. Smart installer SHOULD accomodate easy USB patching for 2.0 (untested in full 2.0, just followed instructions from full update wiki and made appopriate bsdiff files)

on a different note i finally got around to making a patchstick so i may backup my atv and do a full take 2 update and see if i can't make sure everything works properly and maybe get some of those update features from the full udpate wiki into the smart installer.. now that the plugin has returned more to its original capability i can look on towards new features again soon....

nitoTV version 0.2 (take two), Feb 28th, 2008.

Beta 2 welcomes back RSS, installation manager, file sizes, properly sorted menus, ejecting volumes, file deletion, playlist core data (playlist modes, shuffle, repeat), plenty of bug fixes and probably some things i forgot.

The lists have been reorganized, the top list is stuff I didn't have time to finish for this release, the second list are features that are going to require some re-writing that I haven't quite figured out yet.

Lack of time:

1. Music
2. Photos
3. unplayed / played markers

Potential code re-writes

1. On screen display in quicktime
2. volume / sub / audio toggling in quicktime
3. dvd playback framework (dvd plays in mplayer for now)
4. Cover art / preview auto generation
5. metadata

download and follow install instructions

nitoTV version 0.1 (take two), Feb 23rd, 2008.

Alright at long last, the first alpha/beta of nitoTV for Take 2. This is a bit of a slimmed down version and some things got 86'ed in favor of a faster release. The following does not work yet.

1. Music
2. Photos
3. On screen display in quicktime
4. volume / sub / audio toggling in quicktime
5. dvd playback framework (dvd plays in mplayer again for now)
6. emulators aren't exiting properly.
7. POD
8. RSS
9. Weather
10. Preview views / auto generation
11. unplayed / played markers
12. metadata

Most of the above wasn't implemented just for lack of time and for quicker initial release, some of the things will take longer because it appears i need to write some new code to accomodate some of the new graphic / video frameworks installed w/ Take 2.

Sorry for the barren about section, this will be better polished in the second release.
