I have been trying to get Couch Surfer to run on my new Apple TV. I have upgraded to version 2.3.1 of the Apple TV software, then created the patch stick to get SSH to work (it does). I then copied the files over and ran the installer. It appeared to work OK.

So I rebooted the Apple TV, go to the Couch Surfer menu icon and select Google Search. I type in a simple search phrase “abc” to test things out and one of two things happens every time. I get a little couch logo at the bottom left and at the top it does say Google Search…but the screen is black and never loads anything. I can let it sit there for hours, no luck. OR after a few seconds, the Apple TV appears to reboot itself. It goes to the silver apple logo and then loads into the regular menu.

My Boxee install works fine, thankfully, but I REALLY need to get a browser to work with flash support so I can stream Live.Twit.TV

Any help or suggestions would be rad. Thanks everyone. -Corby-

Now what would be great is if one could install Couch Surfer AND silverlight. This would then allow an AppleTV to display NetFlix instant access content, a huge plus.

I finally got Flash working (thanks to all the tips here), but I am having issues with the screen being cut off on the left. Is there a way to control the couchsurfer resolution? I think part of the trouble is that I run on a 480i standard 4:3 TV and not a 16:9. I do use a 16;9 mode. For sites like Hulu it means I can’t even see the “login” or full screen buttons.

All–

I’ve been trying to get Flash to work on Couch Surfer .2 on Take2. I think my problem is that I have a PPC Mac so my plugins (I’m guessing here) are not in the right format.

Is that why it isn’t working? If so, Can someone bundle together the Flash Plugin for me so I can enjoy the web?

Otherwise, help is appreciated.

This is my MD5 for the file I have on my MAC –
MD5 (Flash Player) = 0f20b63824014279a2072c58ec37e00a

My System is 10.4.11

Thanks!
