http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title..._on_Apple_TV_2 I went to the list at the link you sent. I tried the 2.2 for eden version. It appeared to install ok and I could browse and search Justin.tv but no streams would play. I didn't see a justin.tv 1.6 in the list. The only 1.6 I saw was for LiveStreams. I installed it but it didn't appear to be justin.tv unless I'm not doing something right. |

To see what version you have, go to XBMC main menu > System > Lower submenu > System info. Note the build date. It will tell you there. It should say XBMC 11.0-BETA1. If you don't have Eden, you should definitely upgrade to it. The easiest way is to SSH into the aTV(username:root|password:alpine), then run these commands: apt-get update apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 Then you have to reboot. Let me know if that works.

Looks like you're up to date. You might go to the System settings location I mentioned above just to make sure.
So you can run the jTV plugin, but it doesn't do anything? Does it flash Working,and then nothing happens? If so, you probably missed the second part of the instructions: Quote:

And it plays both live and archived video. I'm not sure who w00t is, but I know there are an abundance of streams for all major games. You can also enter your justin.TV credentials if you have an account, and it will sync favorites. The specific channel you're looking for might show up that way. But I've always found good streams for games I want to watch. Find the one with the highest bitrate, as it will give you the best quality. The movie channels are actually pretty good too. I use the movie streams quite a bit if I'm wanting to watch something random. Many of them are of really good quality. **Be sure to go to the configuration setting in the jTV plugin, and tell it to only show English streams. You'll get a ton of other language streams otherwise.

Actually, the main source of live sports streams for SportsDevil has recently changed their domain name from Firstrowsports.eu to Firstrow.tv, and the change hasn't yet been updated in the SportsDevil plugin. So there's not as many good sports streams available right now. But they should have it updated very soon. SportsDevil is awesome when all the streams are working.
I've actually been doing some Python scripting, and hope to get to the point that I can update these plugins myself, and contribute to some of the development. We'll see... Regarding the jTV sports streams, just navigate to the Sports section in jTV, and browse the listing for the sport you're looking for(American Football, College ball, etc.). I've had really good luck finding good streams there for everything except the really obscure/unpopular games that are on. Find the one with the highest bitrate, as it will have the best picture quality. Also, a trick with jTV archives.... Navigate to the channel you like, and hold down the Menu button for 3 seconds. It will popup the options menu, and it will include an option to "Download archives for this channel". That will present all the archived data for that channel as well.

Let me preface this with: I don't have cable or sat tv. I refuse to pay for channels I won't use. We've had nothing but broadcast TV for years now.
I grabbed a Roku not too long ago. Playon.tv had a thing going where you pay 80 bucks to get a lifetime registration with a Roku LT. I like it. There is a lot of lightweight functionality. I've got Pandora running on my TV behind me, "Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix just popped up after "Green River" by CCR. And now "Let It Be". When paired with playon you have a nice little group of channels to choose from. The kids like the simple menus after school. It's easy to put on Netflix or any one of several niche channels available. They enjoy Crunchyroll, off the top of my head. |

I've heard great things about plex. It should do the job nicely.
