Firstly to prevent a Pink screen on boot: (You need to change RGB colour output in Front row as Linux can’t touch the VBIOS) Boot the ATV1 into Apple Frontrow: OSX / Windows Users - Crystalbuntu 40GB image install: Tools used: • the OSX app Terminal • Putty (Windows only - to log into OpenElec running from USB on the ATV1) Putty basic use: • Cyberduck (to transfer the compressed 474MB image to the USB) Steps: • Download the compressed 474MB / 40GB Crystalbuntu HDD image from: • Install OpenElec to a usb stick, you MUST use the install-usb.mg.gz install. (ensure you have Internet access and an Ethernet cord attached to the ATV1) • With OpenElec running on the ATV1 from usb. Use Cyberduck to SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) connect to the ATV1. Cyberduck will use Port 22 by default. Username: root Password: openelec You will need a usb stick that can store the 474MB crystalbuntu2.img.bz2 file size. • Navigate to the /storage folder found in the OpenElec / Cyberduck window and drag and drop the crystalbuntu2.img.bz2 file you downloaded earlier into it. • You then issue this command in OSX Terminal or Putty at the command prompt OpenELEC:~ # Feet up, this will take a couple of hours. Eat a few ’s Wait for the command prompt in Putty to appear again, then pull the Power cord and USB stick and reboot to Crystalbuntu2 / XBMC Gotham on the ATV1. Then upgrade to Kodi Helix: After that you may like to install Kodi Isengard Alpha2: W. Another satisfied “customer” here. I have a Mac mini (mid-2010) running OSX 10.10.4 and Kodi 14.2, serving a raspberry pi running OSMC (2015.06-1), a MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5, Kodi, 14.2), an iMac (OSX 10.10.4, Kodi 14.2) and an ATV1 with CHD running wrxtasy’s Kodi 14.2 off a thumb drive. Mxq and Mxq Pro is an Android box where you can install and update Kodi for free streaming of Movies and TV Shows. Therefore, if you have Kodi installed already on your Android device Mxq or Mxq Pro, then you must follow the section ‘ How to Update Kodi on Android Devices ’ and follow the same steps. The remote devices get NFS shares from the mini (thanks AGAIN to wrxtasy!!) and MySQL. Everything works great! I updated the mini from 10.6.8 specifically to be able to keep up with Kodi going forward. I’m seeing a MySQL roadblock for my ATV1 if it remains at 14.2 and the mini gets updated to 15; is that correct? Is there any good way to address the 15/14 disparity and make MySQL work. The main thing I’m looking forward to in Kodi 15 is the FF/RW improvement. Or should I just cool my jets at 14.2 on everything and wait for OSMC for ATV, which Sam says will eventually update to Kodi 15 sometime after OSMC/ATV and Kodi 15 are both stable? I can be patient. Or is there anything else (wrxtasy?) for ATV with CHD support in the works?
