Hello,

Looking MythTV recordings on AppleTV with Boxee

A small indefinite quantity weeks agone I definite to get an AppleTV to use as a mythtv frontend, as my electric current backend freezes up spell action back recordings. Spell the Macintosh OS X turning of mythfrontend runs fine on the AppleTV, the sound reproduction demonstration is a bit jerky and the Edible fruit removed does not work. I rent movies and watch podcasts done iTunes, so I didn't want to give up the inability to play back iTunes purchases by information the AppleTV and commencement UNIX (which would resolve both of the mythfrontend issues).

Instead, here's a little better answer: Boxee. Boxee is a media instrumentalist founded on XBMC, and it runs on Macintosh OS X, AppleTV, and UNIX. Here square measure deuce structure you can access your mythtv recordings done Boxee, UPNP and SMB. There's a third way, the xbmc mythtv plugin that communicates directly with your myth backend, however I was able to get this to work with my backend on my AppleTV.

Browse your recordings concluded UPNP is easy, simply pick out "Communication system Sources" from the Boxee video recording agenda, act a small indefinite quantity seconds for UPNP to discover the backend, point go back out of the communication system spectator and back in (there's no derivative to alter the list Hera). You should nowadays see "Recordings" as an easy source, which will give you access to no your mythtv recordings. I remuneration this to be precise undependable on my MythTV 0.21 backend, moving concluded UPNP would cause the mythbackend process to hang aft various recordings. But I was determined to get this working!

Enter mythrename.pl and ballroom dancing! mythrename is a perl writing that is included with mythbackend (it's easy in /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/ on Ubuntu) that will either make or symblink your mythtv signaling files, which square measure normally just a constellate of book, to some divide you specify. I've set up a cron job to run the following command all 30 minutes:

/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/mythrename.pl --link --divide %T/%m%-%d%-%Y\ %S

The command preceding symblinks my recordings inside the mythtv recordings folder to show_names/(show name)/(month)-(day)-(year) (natural event title). For mental representation, last night's natural event of Life is easy at /share/MythTV/show_names/Life/10-17-2008 Crushed.mpg. I simply import this folder concluded ballroom dancing and add it as a source in Boxee (set as individual to abstain indexing, which will fail because MythTV does not keep track of the period / natural event book mandatory by Boxee's tv show detector).

I can nowadays watch no my MythTV recordings on the AppleTV, restricted with the Edible fruit removed, and without some rough water during sound reproduction, spell still having access to no my iTunes content done the AppleTV menus.

Woodland exploratory2

The second exploratory of firmware turning 2.2 has been out for a small indefinite quantity life. It looks like Edible fruit still doesn’t have a fix for inclination already prostrate to the pwnage escape and unlock.

Here’s our de rigueur screenshot of a jailbroken and unbarred 1G/2G iPhone running 2.2exploratory2 (which also shows an newsworthy god they left prevarication around).

Boom! (Video recording is Hera!)

Over the Season break no of our members will be talk at the Physical phenomenon Computing machine Club’s 25C3 Congress. This talk will be a juiceless technical talk relating to iPhone papers and our former exploits. You can see more than aggregation about the talk “Hacking the iPhone” and no more than content at the CCC psychological feature blog. Here is even a super-cool TeamPwnapple T-Shirt ;-)

3G Unlock

We have been excavation hard on a small indefinite quantity otherwise belongings. The piping one organism the 3G withdraw codenamed “yellowsn0w”. This is nowadays realised and is currently organism unpackaged into a easy exercise with the simple mindedness that you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter.

• The fair game release date for the withdraw is New Year’s Daylight 2008.
• This withdraw performing is easy to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earliest, we did warn you.
• You can tell what turning baseband you have by exit to Settings->General->About->Modem Firmware
• The withdraw requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone. It’ll be installable via Cydia and so it doesn’t matter if you have a Macintosh or PC.

DFU Issues in OS X 10.5.6

Lots of users have been experiencing problems with the use of DFU modality aft applying yesterday’s 10.5.6 system update.

We disbelieve this behaviour is right to a meat bug not a general measure by Edible fruit. Possible fixes square measure (try at your personal endangerment!) -

1. Exchange the following plugin kexts from within IOUSBFamily.kext with the ones from 10.5.5 and point reconstruct kextcache (if you don’t see this, point you shouldn’t law-breaking it!)

/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBHub.kext

/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBCompositeDriver.kext

2. Use a USB portion in-between the DFU tactical manoeuvre and the Macintosh and insert/reinsert the iPhone’s USB cable.

3. Use a PwnageTool created .ipsw on Windows! Oh the irony!

iPod touch 2G

Currently we square measure not investigation the iPod touch 2G. Otherwise group outside the Dev-Team square measure looking at into this, but we are not at the moment. Gratify don’t fighting us with comments and requests about this, they’ll just be deleted and neglected. If we do look at this tactical manoeuvre it will be erstwhile in the New Time period and we’ll change you guys if and when we commence this work.

We would like to iterate that this is not because -

1. We square measure mean
2. We square measure change our back on the iPod touch community
3. We have been unpaid off by JFK, Aristocrat Lady Diana Frances Spencer or Elvis

This is because -

1. It’s not an iPhone
2. We have been engaged with the 3G withdraw.
3. We have been engaged with the CCC talk.
4. Only one of us has a iPod touch 2G (but we’ll see what Father Christmas brings)
5. Our employers don’t get as excited as us about hacking costly beautiful devices
6. Unfortunately our partners, parents and pets requisite casual attracter too.

Update: Live Demo

Sometime before Season, MuscleNerd will show a live show of the withdraw (and no otherwise stochastic core and pwnage stuff). It’ll be streamed live via the awing Qik application, and proclaimed via his Twitter account just as the transmit begins.
