Apple TV Software Update 2.3.1 available

by editor @ AppleTVHacks.net on February 25, 2009

Apple has just released its latest update for the Apple TV, version 2.3.1 breaks all the third party add-ons for the Apple TV as Boxee and will break functionality for most of the applications, as expected by this continued cat and mouse game between Apple and the hacking community.

This release has at first sight no additional features, looks like a maintenance release.

Share and Enjoy:

Well, hopefully Apple TV will start showing up on my iMac as an AirTunes device. It disappeared after the last update.

I upgraded HD and this update can not be installed

It does appear to break the software composite hack for getting full colour out of the green connector. I've been unable to restore full color via the software, but was able to apply the patch stick.

I`m new with ATV. I want to use the atvusb-creator but I have a few questions that will by very helpful for me.

Someone know where can I find the instructions to install?

If not:
1 Is it ok with a 1 GB pen drive?
2 Have I need to make bootable the pen drive, or it´s ok in the way a bougth it?

Best

looks like we have more plants pushing the "product" of a bunch of script kiddies (#10) Don't waste your time with shoddy commercial "solutions" when something like http://code.google.com/p/atvusb-creator/ is available for free with no "upgrades" that you have to pay for.

Just follow the instructions here to re-install Boxee on AppleTV 2.3.1 : http://iclarified.com/entry/comments.php?enid=3080&laid=33#commentsanchor

No problems. Installed update, then re-ran patchstick, and boxee, etc., all working fine. No new patchstick required; the AppleTV update didn't \break\ anything, it erased hacks but doesn't block them from re-install.
Chas

Apparently the existing patchstick still works.

I processed update by accident and now i lost all functionality of my add-ons.

My bad. Now i'll have to wait for a new patchstick.

Bummer.
