Apple TV Software update 2.4 Kills Boxee

Apple just released a software update version 2.4. If you have auto update enabled it will kill boxee and you will need to reinstall via thumbdrive. Not quite sure what the new update does for the apple tv, but I was excited to play with the new version of Boxee tonight. Instead I will be building a new usb install.

the update is supposed to take advantage of the new iPhone, iPhone OS 3.0 and the iPhone ATV remote app

Anyone confirm that Boxee will reinstall once this update is installed?

Thanks for the warning. I had disabled the automatic update! Good to know!

Reinstalled just fine!

Boxee has different functionality (perhaps I missed an update). For example:
I enter Video Internet from Applications not Video.
I can't pause, scan etc. when I watch the Daily Show (says pause not available).

Also, I lost the thread that explains how to ssh in very basic terms. Any direction on this would be helpful. Ready to give it a try but can't pause what I'm watching

I'm having an issue installing nitotv. Is anyone else having trouble with this or is it just me?

after it autoupdated and i reinstalled boxee, it just keeps crashing on me (it looks like after i added a share) then all of a sudden, any given time, it just exits giving the reason 4... anybody knows how to fix this or what the problem is?

try to remove the UserData and try again you will need to ssh into Apple TV. from Linux and Mac OSX, use the ssh command line via the terminal.

1.ssh frontrow@{ip address}
2.To retrieve your IP (boxee>settings>general>IP or ATV>settings>general>about>IP
3.enter Password "frontrow"
4.rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BOXEE/UserData/

I wasn't able to reinstall boxee last night, I tried from my patchstick, which is what I've been using since November, and no go, it was stuck on the "loading Linux" screen and never went forward. I guess I can try again. I might end up having to do a full software restore on the Apple TV and then try from there.

Anyone else having hang-ups with getting the patchstick to load?
