Hi,
I've just installed xbmc on iphone and apple tv2.
The installation went smoothly on both, HOWEVER in Apple TV2, there is no xmbc menu.
So i can't run xmbc.
Since i did NOT get any installation errors, i'm at a loss.
The only thing i can think of is that i ALREADY have the atv2 plex client install... and working.
Is there a limit to how many entries can be on the menu?
I've tried re-installing xbmc and get :-
Apple-TV:~ root# apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Any ideas?
Happy to provide logs if you tell me exactly where they are.
Cheers

Hi HDClown,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I had already tried that... be retried 'just in case'.
Apple-TV:~ root# killall AppleTV
Apple-TV:~ root# killall Lowtide
No matching processes were found
So looks like killall on AppleTV completed... but unfortunately NO change in my problem.
I've looked at all the sub menu options in case it appeared elsewhere but no luck. Very strange... and looks like i'm the only one with this issue.

Setting up org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 (10.0-0) ...
Apple-TV: root# killall AppleTV
There are NO errors... but still no menu is available for me to run xbmc.
Where are the detailed logs kept so i can check for errors?
Cheers

In case anyone was following... the issue has been resolved.
The installation was fine... BUT the killall command was not working.
After numerous attempts using :- killall AppleTV
i noticed it wasn't really don't much.
So i used kill -9
Found the AppleTV pid and killed it with kill -9
AppleTV restarted and all menu's appeared.
