I started this primarily to try and get Netflix’s Watch It Now running on the AppleTV, so the next step was to install a browser and SilverLight 2.0. I was now able to SSH and FTP to my AppleTV and boy was I estatic!. I decided to go this route and created my patchstick. You insert your usb flash drive and run the software and in a couple of minutes you have a ready to go patchstick. For those faint of heart, there is also the atvusb-creator, this project has a Mac OS X application that does all the hard work for you. It allows you to create the patchstick to install the stuff you want, most others are already configured to install specific packages. The best patchstick project I found was one from Google Code’s website, ATV-bootloader.
The patchstick is basically a USB flash drive that has been configured to boot the AppleTV and run scripts that automatically add features to the device. Upon further research I found the concept of the ‘patchstick’. Because the installer thinks I don't meet the minimum requirements.I had read before that the only way one can hack the AppleTV was to take the hard drive out, and to be honest that may have been one of the biggest deterrents that kept me from hacking it. The reason my silverlight is not working is the plug-in is not installed. The browser is set to "Run using Rosetta," which will cause the computer to be identified incorrectly as a PowerPC-based Mac.Yes I don't have the plug-in installed and I can't install it. For the requirements as I said earlier I meet the minimum requirements. rw-rw-r- 1 root admin 2394 nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
