[AppleTV4] Installing Kodi on ATV4/ATV4k without NitoTV with greeng0blin Jailbreak - Memphiz - 2018-02-24
As of today the test-builds for the tvOS Version are compatible with the greeng0blin jailbreak for tvOS 10.2.2 (which supports the AppleTvV4 and is still signed by Apple as of the time of this writing, so a jailbreak can be currently done even when a newer tvOS Version is already installed).
Its important to notice that the format of the deb files has changed. So this only works with deb files that are newer then 23th February 2018.
For Non-Jailbroken devices those debs can be signed with iOS-AppSigner as of version 1.10 and newer.
To install the deb file on the jailbroken tvOS device follow the following instructions (the "$" should not be entered! Its only a special character to mark lines that have to be entered in the ssh shell) - please use copy & paste to get everything right - and only adapt the deb filename and appletv ip to your needs:
1. ssh into the appletv via (default root password is "alpine"):
$ ssh root@<ip of your apple tv>
2. Download the deb file from our mirrors. You have to replace the name of the deb file with the one that should be downloaded (have a look at the tvos core testing thread to know about new test versions here Core TESTING ):
$ wget http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/darwin/tvos/<name of the deb file to download>.deb?https=0 -O kodi.deb
3. Install the deb file (which will overwrite any previous installed version including those that came with nitoTV):
$ dpkg -i ./kodi.deb
Here is an example of how a session might look like:
Code:
ssh [email protected]
[email protected]'s password:
