Joost on Apple TV…
Οι άνθρωποι του Joost TV έχουν ξεκινήσει τη προσπάθεια τους για να τρέχει το Joost στο Apple TV…το ενδιαφέρον είναι ότι κυκλοφορεί ένα hack στο net για να παίζει στο Apple TV… xvid and WMV αρχεια…

As described on
http://forums.somethingawful.com/ the Apple TV launched a week ago has been successfully hacked to play xvid and WMV through the following process:
1. Open it up (4 screws on the bottom, small Torx bit)
2. Put the 2.5″ drive into a USB enclosure or whatever you want
3. Mount the HFS filesystem
4. Install Perian in /Library/Quicktime (as you normally would)
5. Install Dropbear (or enable SSH if you know how… we gave up and used Dropbear)
6. Add a startup script to disable the firewall or open up the ports you need for SSH
7. Put the drive back in and boot it, ssh login as frontrow, password frontrow (or add an ssh key for yourself)
8. Use a reference movie (use QT Pro to save a reference movie) to bootstrap your xvid file
Apparently the Apple TV is a trimmed down version of OS X that can run intel based OS X Perian multimedia plugin and Dropbear. The question is… would it be able to run the Joost intel Mac client? Quite possibly!
So if one want to donate me an Apple TV I will be more than happy to hack it to run Joost!
Happy hacking!

Joost on Apple TV not far away

Apple TV has been reported to run VLC and Firefox for OS X without problems. It is quite possible that Joost will run just fine as is... If not I am sure the Joost development team could tweak it a bit to run natively on it.
Just need to get the frontrow remote supported in 0.9.0 and all should be good... plus a 10' GUI for proper living room viewing.
Here is the source forum on how to hack your Apple TV if you are lucky enough to have one:
