Web browser on ATV

[mr_matalino]

I currently am running CouchSurfer (http://brandon-holland.com/software.html) (formally SafariHD) on Take 2. The browser works great but when trying hulu.com, it requires a flash plug-in. I cannot download it directly to the ATV. I've tried copying plug-ins from my mac to the ATV in hopes that would work (Flash 9 installed). No luck, just a ?plugin puzzle piece. I'm not sure if the problem is couchsurfer requires flash 8 or if I'm copying the wrong files? Any help would be appreciated.

How do you copy the files to the AppleTV's hard drive?

How do you copy the files to the AppleTV's hard drive?

I either use Fugu (via ssh) or hook the hard drive up via FW

Can you help with installation instructions using Fugu via ssh? I choose create new ssh tunnel from the ssh menu. What do I fill in in all those fields?

It depends on your settings. First you need to have installed ssh to the AppleTV. Then I enter AppleTV.local, the password is frontrow and force -1 ssh.

Matalino, is your ATV unlocked? Is this why u are able to run couchsurfer on it? Is this a legit program or something? Sounds pretty awesome if u ask me

Well, the ATV isn't "unlocked" (as ATV's are not locked to begin with). I have modded my ATV to do things that you can't do "out of the box" (couch surfer is not an Apple program but it works just fine). See the website I linked in my last post for more information. But if anyone has info about my original question, I would love to hear answers.

What files have you tried copying?

What files have you tried copying?

I've tried coping HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder (which has "Flash Player.plugin" and "flashplayer.xpt") to the corresponding library folder as well as my ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder to that corresponding folder in the ATV. All I get is a plug-in ? puzzle piece alerting me that the plug-in is not working correctly. I can't download it from the web browser and I can't think of anything else which would contain that plug-in file.

I've answered my own question. They updated the plug-in site on awkwardtv.org to reflect that you need new frameworks on 10.4. Check here (http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Safari_HD)at the bottom of the page.
