iStat on Apple TV with Boxee

[Craigpuremac]

Hi Guys,

Bjango have released the awesome iStat for iPhone that lets you monitor your iPhone and a remote server.

http://bjango.com/apps/istat/

It would be awesome if you could put the server component on the Apple TV, and a guy over at aTV Flash Forum has figured it out;

Is there a way of doing this with the Atv Flash Boxee install as I don't have the NitoTV option to launch applications.

Any Ideas??

Thanks

Craig

Craig - Not sure about getting it installed when installing Boxee, but here are some instructions if you already have iStat Server set up on your mac and want to copy it to your AppleTV. Make sure you have already set up your iPhone/iPod Touch to view stats on your mac running the server (enter the passcode from iStat Server in iStat).

From the terminal on a mac with iStat Server installed and working [replace appletv.local with your apple tv's hostname or IP address if needed]:

scp -r "/Library/Application Support/iStat Server" frontrow@appletv.local:"/Library/Application\ Support/"
scp /Library/Preferences/com.bjango.istatserverbackend.plist frontrow@appletv.local:/Library/Preferences/
ssh frontrow@appletv.local "sudo /bin/chmod a+w /Library/LaunchDaemons"
scp /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bjango.istatserver.plist frontrow@appletv.local:/Library/LaunchDaemons/
ssh frontrow@appletv.local "sudo /sbin/reboot"

Having the com.bjango.istatserver.plist file in /Library/LaunchDaemons will make sure iStatServer is running when you reboot your Apple TV. The preferences file in /Library/Preferences has an "authorized devices" section that specifies which devices (iPhones/iPod Touches) can access the server without the passcode.
