Saved blobs on Conan's TSS Saver site for my 4HD boxes, it shows latest version is 13.5 (not 13.4.5) and the 13.5 folders are empty?

13.5 should be alright, that's what I got too when I saved for 13.4.5. It's till the latest release according to ipsw.me.
Does refreshing right now load the files? You might be / have been in the queue.
storm ridge
I redid it again and now they showed up. I checked a bunch of other devices I have and some were also empty there too. Hmmm, not very reliable. I've been doing this every update and only now noticed empty folders. I wonder how many previous attempts generated the same.
fleet parcel
@analog elk Not AFAIK, you could jailbreak the Apple TV 3 to run Kodi which may allow that content to be streamed...
analog elk
@fleet parcel did you see my question?
The one app I’ve use the most so far is Pokemon TV which my daughter is absolutely thrilled with
fleet parcel
@analog elk Excellent question. Yes. With the new jailbreak, this will open the doors to new developers who may create more tweaks in the future. As for myself, I've got plenty of projects on the way 😉 I just need to fix up the old ones first. As for useful tweaks: nControl, No Reset, AirDrop, and more!
@storm ridge Try refreshing the site and re-saving them, alternatively, you can use the tsschecker for macOS
analog elk
I saw on Twitter before that there might be a way to send movie/media files over via the AirDrop tweak
fleet parcel
There is.
analog elk
I bought the Plex pass subscription and it only allows downloads with a web browser. I tried using the jailbreak browser but it wasn’t working so maybe this is my way of accomplishing this
Once I send the media files over what can I use as a media player? VLC etc.
fleet parcel
I believe Ethereal has its own built-in media player. You may use AirDrop to transfer media (and media links iirc) and Etherreal will play such media
storm ridge
@fleet parcel oh too bad tsschecker is terminal stuff, guess I'll stick to the the web version for now
fleet parcel
@storm ridge if need be, i can save 'em for you, just need your ECID and device type
storm ridge
@fleet parcel I have them all saved on Conan's site for the last year and half and on my drive too so I'm good. But, thanks for the offer!

@fleet parcel I got my ATV4K 32GB bootloop replaced by Apple and they gave me 64GB. No question was asked. Just told them watching Netflix and power outage and when power was on but my Apple TV4K flashing light.
icy wolf
Really? how?
fleet parcel
it was an issue with a function, but its been since fixed and updated
Let me ask you: when you jailbroke, did you Disable updates on nitoTV?
icy wolf
Yes, generally I do this to my Chimera JB
I went into unc0ver settings and Disabled Updates and installed Kodi, RePorvision, Safari and Zelda.
icy wolf
Beta 3? I have beta 1
icy wolf
Oops, I better delete beta1 from my new ATV4K 64GB. I was going to JB with Beta1
Thanks for the heads up
fleet parcel
Yes, Do not use any betas except beta 3!
fleet parcel
did you already use beta 1 to jailbreak?
icy wolf
No, I installed on my new ATV4K 64GB but going to click on that but you cought me right on time
fleet parcel
Ok, good
fleet parcel
high bear
@fleet parcel should i install the GPG key from your repo? i actually did notice I got an update today
for no reset
so I'm not too sure if I have anything too messed up on my end
fleet parcel
ok
high bear
Okay actually I remember why I didn't install it when i saw it wasn't installed last time
when I try to install it says process failed
at the end it says "You are about to do something potentially harmful. To continue type in the phrase 'yes, do as I say!' ?] Abort."
fleet parcel
what jb are you on?
high bear
12.4 chimera 4k
fleet parcel
ah, do you have an ipad or mac?
high bear
yeah I have a mac
fleet parcel
open terminal
high bear
ok
fleet parcel
ssh root@APPLE_TV_IP_ADDRESS
high bear
done
fleet parcel
is it asking for a password?
fleet parcel
ah. apt-get update
show the output
looks good
you don't need to install the gpg key
high bear
ah okay is the latest version of nitoTV 3.3.0-2?
fleet parcel
yes
fleet parcel
no worries
analog elk
just tried it on my phone, when i run kodi and want to watch sky - i have to install the sky go ticket and login with my sky data
so its not possible to watch paid tv for free with kodi?
i installed "painkiller wizard" and got sky bundesliga as option in freetv rn does that work? (cant check it cuz its only live when there's a game)

Is it possible to access IPA files trough a apple usb 3 camera adapter on a jb ATV4 (the one with the USB port)?
storm ridge
@fleet parcel This weekend I think I'd like to update one of my 4HD boxes to 13.4.5. It's currently on Chimera 12.4. I've read over the thread and pinned messages and just want to confirm the proper method. This is what I understand so far:
- Make sure Updates is "Enabled" under NitoTV settings
- Reboot the device to take it out of JB
- Restore RootFS
- Update OTA
- Install Unc0ver beta 3 (I use Xcode)
- Open Unc0ver on the ATV and jailbreak
Am I missing anything, thx?
storm ridge
@fleet parcel ok I thought that step wasn't necessary for Chimera 12.4. Would the process be the same for the 4k ?
analog elk
@analog elk nobody said it’s not possible, but Kodi itself doesn’t come with any piracy plugins, and we won’t provide support for that here
fleet parcel
For the 4K, yes
storm ridge
ok thx. For the 4K though I may wait a little longer for possible unc0ver improvements/updates. When Apple does drop a new tvOS version we will likely have about a week until they stop signing 13.4.5
analog elk
@analog elk okay, i respect that. thanks anyways 🙂 !
fleet parcel
Well, problem is @storm ridge, when Apple drops the 13.4.5 patch, you can't go to 13.4.5 on a 4K. Even if it's still signed
storm ridge
@storm ridge oh ya, that's right. Thanks for the reminder. Guess I'll have to move quickly. I like 12.4, it's been super solid but don't like to be left behind if possible and tvOS 13 was a decent upgrade on it's own for the platform.
fleet parcel
@storm ridge Good thing I didn't Disable Software Updates and reboot... Installed: 3.3.0-1 - bootloop vers 
undone vine
So.. just restored my ATV4 to the latest TV-OS, will unc0ver 5.03 support the latest? If its signed by my apple ID according to josh guide, will i have to re sign unc0ver from time to time?
fleet parcel
@undone vine unc0ver is supported, yes. If the app expires, yes.
undone vine
@fleet parcel Thank you! The JB worked. What are some must have addons from the nitotv? Does auto update of the TVOS is disabled by default after JB?
fleet parcel
yes
idle flint
Can anyone attach how to jailbreak 4K Apple TV. Just got one
analog elk
@idle flint either buy a breakout cable for checkra1n, or if you have a Mac use Xcode + iOS App Signer, you can sideload the unc0ver IPA over Wi-Fi
steep galleon
Anyone have experience with good IPtV app ?
storm ridge
@fleet parcel Good catch! I dusted off an old 4HD box that I haven't used for awhile, it's on 12.4 previously jailbroken with Chimera. I plugged it in, rejailbroke it with Chimera so I could get all the latest Nito updates before updating to 13.4.5.
However, after running Chimera, Nito won't open, it starts but then crashes and I get the white spoked screen. Should I delete the Nito app from the homescreen and if I jailbreak again with Chimera will it install Nito again? Or can I just manually update Nito through terminal and if so what are those commands again?
storm ridge
@steep galleon Ya Uncover for tvOS 13 was recently launched, the window to upgrade is currently open.
steep galleon
Is it possible to be done by side load?
fleet parcel
If you wish to update and you're on chimera, reboot, Restore root fs, then update OTA
Same goes with you too @steep galleon (if you want)
steep galleon
So just to make sure I don’t make a mistake
storm ridge
@fleet parcel this is a spare box I have, it's on 12.4 but hasn't been upgraded since August.
steep galleon
Unc0ver is a side loaded app just like chimera correct?
storm ridge
I think the Nito version is old and doesn't like the 1.3.9 version of Chimera I used?
steep galleon
If I update my 4K that’s at 12.4 will it go to 13.5?
fleet parcel
Who knows..
But if you want the latest and greatest, by all means
@steep galleon as long as you restore root fs first, yes
fleet parcel
13.5 = 13.4.5
13.5 iOS
13.4.5 tvOS
It is, especially since app store apps require updating..
storm ridge
@fleet parcel is there anyway I can just SSH into the box and update Nito? I don't want to lose too many settings
steep galleon
Ok doing it now the
fleet parcel
make sure you use unc0ver TV beta 3 @storm ridge @steep galleon
steep galleon
Thank you good sir @fleet parcel
storm ridge
@fleet parcel before doing Rootfs, just want to confirm if I can update nito through terminal or is that not advisable?
fleet parcel
Not necessary
Once you update tvOS and rejailbreak, nitoTV will be up to date
@storm ridge
fleet parcel
?
steep galleon
Already updated and sideloaded and jailbrokrn
I usually struggle for my PC(VMware) to communicate to my appletv 4 and 4K
But it was instant today in Xcode
fleet parcel
👍
storm ridge
@steep galleon Huh, I tried to sideload from my Mac with AltDeploy, usually works but not today so used Xcode. Go figure.
steep galleon
Is Kodi 17.6 still the route to go?
Also how do I prevent my appletv from updating now
Can’t remember it’s been awhile lol
fleet parcel
Unc0ver disables OTA
steep galleon
Well that’s awesome!
fleet parcel
You may also turn off automatic updates inside Settings -- System
storm ridge
@fleet parcel Trying Rootfs, taking awhile. I haven't done this in a long time. Does it take long?
devout estuary
Is 13.4.5 newest firmware for tvOS?
orchid nimbus
yee
fleet parcel
@storm ridge depends, Restore root fs takes a couple seconds
storm ridge
Hmm, does not seem to want to restore, just hangs
fleet parcel
Try rebooting, reselecting it and running it again
storm ridge
tried twice, even pulling the plug. Since Nito was not updating something is wrong under the surface.
storm ridge
@fleet parcel no luck, just hangs and eventually springs back to the homescreen
storm ridge
Tried that. Need to get Nito installed again somehow, I can SSH in, Kodi opens, etc... but Nito crashes
fleet parcel
@storm ridge are you able to ssh in?
storm ridge
yes
storm ridge
@fleet parcel Sorry... I missed all your questions..
No - can't update OTA, can't restore rootFS
Yes - I can SSH in + all my other JB apps still work... Kodi, YouTube, etc
Only the Nito app won't open so I cannot update it. My guess is the last time the Nito app was updated was in August last yr and I probably used Chimera 1.3.4. This time I used 1.3.9
fleet parcel
@storm ridge that's okay, i can help you out with all that
storm ridge
@fleet parcel great what should I try
fleet parcel
Well, let's fix your restore root fs
There's an alternative
If you're able to SSH in, type apt-get install com.bingner.snappy then display the output

is it worth upgrading to 13.4.5 now josh? or should i still wait a bit to see
fleet parcel
It's worth it @high bear
storm ridge
@fleet parcel success! Wow, never would have figured out that terminal stuff haha. I will probably have another question about Xcode signing. I am still using High Sierra and have Xcode 10.3 (tricked out to get it working). But, I know it does not work for 13.x devices. I remember Nito writing that one can just grab the current device files or something like that. Then I can jailbreak. Thanks again, have a good evening!
fleet parcel
Yes @high bear coming soon
@storm ridge Xcode 10.3 works for HS, you just need Device Support files for 13.x.. But nonetheless, have a good night!

So.. unc0ver is not stable on my ATV4 (Latest FW) if I open certain apps installed from nitoTV it immifiatly revoke th JB, while other apps duch as KODI, TVbowser does not revoke. And than I have to restart and re-open unc0ver to re jsilbreak. Should I use checkra1n instead?

I’m trying to jailbreak my Apple TV but don’t have a Mac so I’m using a virtual machine but it’s not able to recognize my Apple TV... any way I can get it to recognize it? Network settings say its Ethernet so is it possible to make it “WiFi” instead?
median zephyr
Apple TV 4 — I don’t have a usb c cable though
I’m able to connect my phone through Bluetooth
But that might be because it’s connected through usb
median zephyr
@fleet parcel know what I might be able to do? 🙏
fleet parcel
What tvOS are you on and are you jailbroken?
fleet parcel
Ah, do you have Xcode installed?
median zephyr
On the Virtualbox yea
fleet parcel
good, what version of Xcode is it?
fleet parcel
okay, so on your Apple TV, go to settings, then Remotes and devices
median zephyr
Ok
fleet parcel
then Remote app and devices
median zephyr
Yep
fleet parcel
if your Apple tv is on the same network as your virtual machine, it'll pop-up in Xcode under "Devices and Simulators"
median zephyr
Well that’s the problem I think
In the VM in network settings
It’s considered an Ethernet connection
It isn’t the WiFi connection which the Apple TV is connected to
fleet parcel
then change ethernet to your wifi connection
median zephyr
Mine isn’t popping up on my Apple TV for some reason
Well I already got that
I just have to connect via usb
And I’m on Virtualbox
Do I need to use VMware?
fleet parcel
nah, any vm will do. But why can't you switch to wifi?
median zephyr
It’s only giving me the option for Ethernet
fleet parcel
is your pc connected only with ethernet? or can it do wifi too?
median zephyr
My WiFi network isn’t popping up
It can do WiFi and I also have a usb WiFi adapter plugged in
Which is potted into the vm
Ported
fleet parcel
okay, so configure your vm to your usb, just enable the usb
median zephyr
Yea I did but it’s not showing up in the vm

@fleet parcel For example: I installed Pandora TV from nitoTv, if I try to open it, it crashes immidiatly and after that crash also allother JB apps crashing including unc0ver even though the system did not restarted.. Only after restarting again I can open unc0ver and re jailbreak.
median zephyr
Yea it was in Bridged mode

What can I do with etas0n for ATV3 anyway?
I have an atv3 but it's mostly garbage
anything I can do with that jb?
fleet parcel
Yes, lots @stray prairie
stray prairie
@fleet parcel like what can i do now
fleet parcel
join the party
stray prairie
also is it easy to restore my apple tv and how robust is etason
and like what tweaks are there for that
fleet parcel
not many tweaks
stray prairie
well
is it even worth it then lol
i mean its an untethered jb for atv3
but like
what can i do with it after i jb
its not as functional as say my android tv or an atv4
fleet parcel
yes, it's worth it
stray prairie
Yeah but I'll decide if it's worth it if I know what I can do with it after jbing lol
There's like no nito on there right
so like what can I install or do with a jbed atv3
stray prairie
well
hmm
if there is nito
and its easy to restore
i might give it a shot
I might just restore my apple tv first through the usb cable and set it up under my id
then I might jailbreak it
fleet parcel
make sure you use 8.4.3 (September release)
fleet parcel
yup
stray prairie
ok and that should be easy right
fleet parcel
yup
stray prairie
Is there a reliable tutorial for any of this haha
fleet parcel
In the pin
stray prairie
@fleet parcel so im assuming the latest firmware is not 8.4.3 and i need to downgrade
I'm probably gonna go live in the General VC, i have this thing hooked up to my elgato so i dont have to break out a tv
fleet parcel
latest is 8.4.4
stray prairie
and that's incompat so i need to dg
fleet parcel
yup, which isn't hard
stray prairie
ok
so basically do i just download the ipa and restore it in itunes
or do i do something else
fleet parcel
just download the ipsw, place apple tv in DFU mode, connect to computer and select ipsw to restore
fleet parcel
does the button still somewhat work?
stray prairie
no
its completely dead
and i dont have an ir emitter or anything to replicate it
fleet parcel
dead as in battery is no good?
stray prairie
no
as in that button
is dead
the play button
i'm live in general vc if you want to watch me jb this thing haha
wait
wait
wait
@fleet parcel i think i can do it without the play button
just menu and down
ok hold on
i uh need a microusb hold on
@analog elk hey we're gonnna jb an atv 3
and i got it hooked up to my elgato so we can watch this live idk
yeh
gonna jailbreak an apple tv 3
fleet parcel
no
stray prairie
no
fleet parcel
you can try to downgrade without DFU, but it may not work
stray prairie
well thats what I googled we'll try anyway
fleet parcel
the way DFU works is, you reboot first, then press menu +play/pause to enter dfu
fleet parcel
good luck
stray prairie
well the first step is plugging in my atv
and i cant get it to recognize in itunes lol
wait
well
yeah
fleet parcel
it recognizes in dfu
stray prairie
mhm
ok seems like it is working
well
idb and this other blog say for older models its menu and down
fleet parcel
you'll probably restore, but you'll end up stuck in recovery
stray prairie
ok yeah
fleet parcel
yeah, menu and down to reboot
fleet parcel
fleet parcel
how is it broken?
fleet parcel
i'd try taking the botton out
stray prairie
how
fleet parcel
clicking the button on the board
stray prairie
how do i take it out of the remote lol
i'm totally not going to buy another remote either for this atv3
haha
fleet parcel
stray prairie
huh
fleet parcel
the button literally pops out
fleet parcel
just use something thin like a knife
stray prairie
hmm ok
fleet parcel
@stray prairie https://youtu.be/cQKpPu8QdFo
fleet parcel
just do 0:21
fleet parcel
not properly, no
fleet parcel
especially downgrading
fleet parcel
just get a new remote?
stray prairie
i mean
fleet parcel
those kind; 30 bucks, maybe less
stray prairie
i dont even want to buy a new remote because this thing is pretty much worthless unless you jb
hmm
fleet parcel
you could send it to me, i'd jb it 😛
stray prairie
this is one of those times i wish i had an android phone
fleet parcel
j/k
fleet parcel
android...
stray prairie
Im pretty sure I have an IR emitter for my phone
I just need to find the right thing for Apple TV
hold up
fleet parcel
don't know how good that'll be when DFU is a hardware configuration, not software
stray prairie
theres thisapp that allows you to use ir emitters with headphone jacks on the iphone
fleet parcel
yeah.. won't work
stray prairie
and i have an ir blaster from my sony tv and i used it once
no its not network
it emulates the actual remote's light
fleet parcel
no, i know what you're talking about
fleet parcel
but it's not the same as the married pairing of apple devices
stray prairie
I can't pair a remote like a directv remote with the learn remote thing either?
fleet parcel
nah
fleet parcel
if that was the case, apple wouldn't have shipped out the remote with the device
stray prairie
do i need to downgrade haha
fleet parcel
what firmware is it on?
fleet parcel
give me the build number
fleet parcel
you can try
stray prairie
okay
well first
i want to restore this thing
because
it has my grandma's stuff on it
:/
will that update it right
fleet parcel
if you restore it, you'll be stuck on recovery mode
stray prairie
no i mean
stray prairie
I thought you said 8.4.3
stray prairie
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
fleet parcel
8.4.3 (march) 7.5
fleet parcel
go for it
stray prairie
the first thing is i have to find an app that has the apple tv ir codes
fleet parcel
you can use your apple tv to learn a remote
fleet parcel
yes
fleet parcel
bluetooth keyboard work too
stray prairie
and pairing it
fleet parcel
problem is: DFU mode
stray prairie
yes
fleet parcel
did you at least try to take apart the play button on the remote?
I had to with mine.. just so i could press the button on the logic board
stray prairie
no haha
i can try later
but
so if the button is broken i just take it apart and it should work anyway
ok so this remote is not working
let me try another
@fleet parcel if i take apart the remote it should work still?
fleet parcel
hopefully
stray prairie
ok well lets ee
my grandma applied lots of force to the button
it could be stuck you never know
fleet parcel
yeah, i think it works still
stray prairie
hmm
stray prairie
mhm
ok so theres an app called remotemaster
i'll try to download that
seems like this uses ir anyway
