AppleTV... Again..

in AMX General Discussion
Hello Guys

I know this has been discussed before in this forum, but I need more clarifications.

Note I am not that expert in Linux or MacOS systems, all I did with Linux is installing Slimserver on a Hifidelio music server, No more.

My client wants to control his AppleTV using the computer control feature, He has a MiniMac, and I installed a VNC server on it, so he wants the same for the AppleTV.

Tried to telnet the device, but no luck, then I new from AppleTVhacks.net that telnet should be enabled first, and then I found my self in the middle of a strange world, that I have never been before.

If someone can take me through this step by step, I will be so grateful.

Thank You
Sensiva

    Don't trust Mr. Tumnus, he'll drug you and hand you over to the Ice Queen. I would follow the yellow brick road instead.

    You guys obviously aren't up on the current Apple hackers lingo. It's all very simple; this is Mr. Tumnus.

    lol... sorry if I caused any confusion for those who didn't get my joke. The poster mentioned being in a strange new world, and I didn't know what that meant, whether it meant Narnia, Oz, or just that telnetting to an Apple is difficult/non-standard. I don't actually know anything about AppleTV... :(

    Yes... lingo... that's what I was doing.

    Mr. Tumnus = iLife
    the Ice Queen = Steve Jobs
    the yellow brick road = Windows

    That should clear things up.

    LoL, I meant that to enable telnet I should go through many things that I don't know about.

    That's all

    And FYI mpullin : this is the second time you Hijack one of my threads, Its not you, but there is something about you, members aren't interested in the title as much as in your signature or your weird answers :D

    It does tend to make things around here a little more enjoyable. Being on point or on subject all the time get's old and tiresome and a screwball answer like Matt's adds a nice chuckle to an other wise extremely focused day.

    I agree, that's why I am commending mpullins , and I think he has a kind of Charisma.

    I think you misunderstood my reply

    Here is how to enable SSH.

    http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Install_SSH

    I have no idea of any kind of command structure or any form of communication. I tried looking for anything on it but no one knows yet. I know there is an IR file for it..

    Thanks for the wiki Ryan, I will check it, There is no problem with the IR control, I have the learned codes if you are interested.

    Like most things Apple, the IP control protocol will come out some time later. It was that way at first with the iPod.

    The AppleTV IR works fine, if you like slowly banging your head against the wall.

    Kind of an odd analogy... I would much rather bang my head against the wall slowly than quickly... :p

    Well it didn't seem right to use the word quickly in the same sentence with the phrase "AppleTV IR."
