ATV2: XBMC Nightly Builds

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:17:00 +0200

After i got my Apple TV 2 jailbroken and installed XBMC on it I started to try and play some mkv files on it. I quickly discovered that it was pure misery. The movie wouldn’t buffer like they should and some wouldn’t even play. I startet googling and discovered a lot of people with the same problems as me. To get it fixed you have to install XBMC Nightly Builds. It has something to do with the lastes version of iOS. After it’s done the files will play like they should. You can see how to install it below.

1. Log in to your Apple TV through ssh: ssh root@ from terminal.app (or similar) and enter your password (if it’s the first time you log on through ssh the password is alpine - you can also change this with the command passwd).

2. Add the missing repository with this command:
echo “deb http://apt.saurik.com/ tangelo-3.7 main”>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/saurik.list
Then do a: apt-get update and after that: apt-get -f install

3. Get the Nightly Builds install files:
wget http://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_atv2.deb (hit enter and wait for it to download). When it’s down do a: dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb (and wait for it to finish). Then remove the installer file with: rm latest_atv2.deb

4. To make sure that all dependencies has been installed do a: apt-get -f install

5. Finish of with the command: killall AppleTV

Congrats, your now running XBMC Nightly Builds.

Yesterday i bought the Apple TV 2 to test it as a (cheap) media extender together with my NAS. I jailbroke it and installed XBMC on it to control my media library. My network isn’t all configured for it yet, but that will come later.

gpupdate.exe in POS Ready 2009

The feature simple isn’t there in POS Ready 2009, MS didn’t put it in there. I was working on figuring this out at work together with MS Premium support. Finally we found out that it wasn’t included in this OS by the embedded product team. The MS tech I talked to said that we could try to use the one from Windows XP. I tried it and it works. There could by a license issue by doing it, so MS advised us to make our own binary.

How to edit the hosts file in OS X

Sat, 16 Apr 2011 14:21:00 +0200

Editing the hosts file

Editing the hosts file in Mac OS X – Snow Leopard, is a pretty easy task, especially if you are familiar with the terminal.

Step 1 – Open the Terminal.app

Either by start typing Terminal on the Spotlight, or by going into Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.

Step 2 – Open the hosts file

Open the hosts by typing on the Terminal that you have just opened:

sudo nano /private/etc/hosts

Type your user password when prompted.

Step 3 – Edit the hosts file

The hosts file contains some comments (lines starting with the # symbol), as well as some default hostname mappings (e.g. 127.0.0.1 – localhost).
Simply append your new mappings underneath the default ones. Or edit one of the default values if you know what you are doing!
You can navigate the file using the arrow keys.

Step 4 – Save the hosts file

When done editing the hosts file, press control-o to save the file.
Press enter on the filename prompt, and control-x to exit the editor.

Step 5 – Flush the DNS cache

On Leopard you can issue a simple Terminal command to flush the DNS cache, and have your host file changes to take immediate effect:

dscacheutil -flushcache

You can now test your new mapping on the browser!

I’ve just received my Chinao iPad case, bought on eBay. I bought this for $41 with shipping to Denmark. The case is a ripoff of Apple’s official iPad case but it has leather so it doesn’t collect as much dust as Apple’s case. I can highly recommend getting this case. You can buy the case from the eBay seller kevikevdottcom (he’s the only one selling it). Click here to visit he’s eBay shop.
