Why not? Lol 😂

#

I leave it there for people if they have issues with the tweak

#

Because Twitter is garbage for a support platform

#

Learned that all too well when I was working on iOS tweaks

#

Kinda got out of hand

#

Easier for me to categorize too

But I’m old school I guess lol 😂 too stuck in my ways when I make tweaks

So used to doing that control file like that

#

Not the same on tvOS

i wouldn't mind a rating system

#

then we can see who likes what the most and update accordingly

Good idea! Something like tweak compatibility checker or whatever that iOS tweak is called

Hi folks. Merry Xmas to all of you. Hope you had a good one. I’m currently with an AT4 jb on tvos 12.4. I’m considering the possibility of upgrading. What tvos would you recommend upgrading to? Thx!

silk rivet Hi folks. Merry Xmas to all of you. Hope you had a good one. I’m currently with ...

13.4.8 is still signed and works with checkra1n, or if you have blobs then 13.4.5 and you can use unc0verTV

#

not sure about the state of tvOS 14 but having an ATV4 is better because you don't need a breakout and you can downgrade unlike the 4K

silk rivet Dec 26, 2020, 12:15 PM

#

analog elk 13.4.8 is still signed and works with checkra1n, or if you have blobs then 13.4....

I take that 13.4.5 is a preferred option given that it may be jb with both uncover and checkra1n, right?

I have all blobs saved so moving across fw should not be a problem

analog elk Dec 26, 2020, 12:32 PM

yeah, that's probably the easiest since you can just run the unc0ver app instead of using USB for checkra1n

@silk rivet i like 14 over 13 but im ok with needing checkra1n to jb.

desert hawk <@538383528069431297> i like 14 over 13 but im ok with needing checkra1n to jb.

Are checkra1n issues with tvos 14 already solved? Also, did the Windows version got abandoned or is it still being worked on?

desert hawk Dec 26, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

@silk rivet windows is still being worked on afaik. no idea on its progress though, its a lot of work

#

i dont know if anyone has tested 14.3 yet though, i know i havent yet.

umbral ingot Dec 26, 2020, 3:12 PM

I have yet to test 14.3 either. Figured I stick with tvOS 14.2 until it has

That and I’m too lazy to update lol 😂

Hi guys

#

Any can guide me on adding vpn support on atv 4K?

#

Anyone

desert hawk Dec 26, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

@tacit egret the VPN has to support IKEv2, if it does you just need to modify the mobileconfig example on the vpnd repo and AirDrop it with nitoTV installed. hopefully it will work. ive only tested it with guardians vpn (im one of their iOS devs)

#

https://github.com/lechium/vpnd

GitHub

lechium/vpnd

VPN daemon utilized by nitoTV to deliver VPN access on tvOS - lechium/vpnd

#

needless to say a jailbreak is indeed required. verified recently apple will block installation of a tvOS app with proper entitlements needed to use NEVPNManager

#

on a vanilla device that is

tacit egret Dec 26, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

Well my vpn is NordVPN do you know if it has the support?

@desert hawk @umbral ingot
On 14.2. Seems to work too. Double pressing select again brings up the airdrop screen

jaunty rune Dec 27, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

Not sure what to do once at the airdrop screen though. SCRATCH that, had it off on my phone

#

Yup works. Not as good as @umbral ingot ‘s screenrecordmodule. Doesnt work in some apps or the homescreen

umbral ingot Dec 27, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

My module is based on the one that Apple has for their internal installs that they accidentally leaked on a public install. Mine’s better because it utilizes Breezy to airdrop stuff. So the screen recording stuff exists already it’s just broken @jaunty rune

jaunty rune Dec 27, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

@umbral ingot ohh i see. But yah i mean it works somewhat. I airdropped to my phone no probs. Just the “enable screen recording” doesnt pop up in some apps or the homescreen. It does have the red border as well. Wonder if the recording is saved anywhere on the atv?

umbral ingot Dec 27, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

It’s probably saved in the same directory as mine are

#

Since I just use the same code as Apple

#

You can see if Ethereal sees them

umbral ingot Dec 27, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

atomic snow Just like that or do I need an app for airdrop?

Download Ethereal it’ll install Breezy which allows you to AirDrop videos to the Apple TV. Personally I use a combo of Breezy/VLC. As long as Breezy is installed and you have VLC or Ethereal you should be golden

umbral ingot Dec 27, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

atomic snow What is scp?:00

Secure Copy Protocol. You can copy files to the Apple TV by using a SCP client or just good old terminal

yeah mkv container can have basically anything, although most common is H.264/H.265 and AAC/(E)AC3

why do you think it's bad though?

#

much better than mp4, you can embed more subtitle formats too

desert hawk Dec 28, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

its been the bane of my existance since i wrote video software ages ago. its just always problematic for one reason or another.

#

also literally every video player ever plays those subs by default and i always have to turn them off. cuz i literally never want them

#

in fact at one point mkv was so bad that if i repackaged videos in a different container back in the day the videos would actually play better 🤣

Yah i mean the notifications that do show up for the ds4 are enough really

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:29 AM

They were I was just an idiot and a novice at the time when I started making the module

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 2:29 AM

@jaunty rune listening for those notifications is the problem

^^

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:30 AM

Ah for sure

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 2:30 AM

its not like listening for a normal system notification

Also check out the default repos for more awesome tweaks

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

But back to screenrecord. I think being able to persist through respring should at least be an option. Helps to show problems and or before/after turning on/off tweak prefs

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

jaunty rune But back to screenrecord. I think being able to persist through respring should ...

I’ve been trying to get that to work

#

But it’s loosely based on Apple’s internal code

#

Which was wonky in the first place

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

Ohhh dang i thought you guys were saying it was working but didnt like it

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

Something with the daemon

#

It’s not finished or something

#

QuickTime on the Mac works after a respring

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

And ios

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

Yes I know

#

But I was referring to tvOS screen recording

#

You can use QuickTime on a Mac to do the same thing

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Gotcha

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Apple never fully implemented it for tvOS

#

It’s been there since tvOS 9

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Cool it works in any capacity

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Well not the module

#

Just the recording class

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

i mean it might be possible to recover from it respringing. just likely requires more reversing replay*

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

I just got to figure out why it’s doing that

#

Exactly

#

Because it’s at least attempting to keep the daemon alive

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

So am i sol and have to reboot to get it to go away?

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

That’s why it shows the red bars but nothing is going on

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Or maybe a command?

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

well depends on how you respring. killing backboardd likely takes down replayd as well

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

jaunty rune So am i sol and have to reboot to get it to go away?

As stated earlier

#

killall -9 replayd

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Doh

#

Missed that

#

Thanks

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

backboardd should take it down

#

As well

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

and recovering from that rather than just taking PineBoard down might be easier? idk

#

i really didnt look into it much passed getting that red button tint fixed

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:40 AM

desert hawk i really didnt look into it much passed getting that red button tint fixed

I’m gonna work on it soon

almost everyone does infinite table views wrong on SO. and literally none of them are smooth & applicable on tvOS with the focus engine in play

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 2:44 AM

You’re welcome

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

have a absurd number of cells (like 100,000) then use % to get the proper index and then the data just seamlessly repeats in a infinite illusion

#

then start somewhere near the middle of the data. its pretty damn clever and wasnt even the accepted solution on SO

#

the hardest part is auto selecting a particular value near the center of the data set.

#

i also finally learned how to use focus guides properly

#

and i feel REALLY dumb for not understanding them sooner

#

they are just empty anchored space around your elements that tells the focus engine what elements are around and their priority

#

so now i can swipe left or right on my endless row table views to select the button below my date picker.

#

if that doesnt make sense heres a code example

#

    [self.view addLayoutGuide:focusGuideLeft];
    [focusGuideLeft.topAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.datePickerView.topAnchor].active = true;
    [focusGuideLeft.bottomAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.datePickerView.bottomAnchor].active = true;
    [focusGuideLeft.widthAnchor constraintEqualToConstant:40].active = true;
    [focusGuideLeft.rightAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.datePickerView.leftAnchor].active = true;
    focusGuideLeft.preferredFocusEnvironments = @[self.toggleTypeButton];
    
    UIFocusGuide *focusGuideRight = [[UIFocusGuide alloc] init];
    [self.view addLayoutGuide:focusGuideRight];
    [focusGuideRight.topAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.datePickerView.topAnchor].active = true;
    [focusGuideRight.bottomAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.datePickerView.bottomAnchor].active = true;
    [focusGuideRight.leftAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.datePickerView.rightAnchor].active = true;
    [focusGuideRight.widthAnchor constraintEqualToConstant:40].active = true;
    focusGuideRight.preferredFocusEnvironments = @[self.toggleTypeButton];```

#

📎 screenshot_100.jpg

#

so that code is the equivalent of adding 'focus guides' where those two red boxes are

#

so if i swipe left or right from the year or month column respectively it will redirect the focus to the 'toggle' button

#

since those table views are practically infinite it would never resign the focus to the toggle button and instead of having the move the button i knew there had to be another way lol

Trying to save latest blobs in zip to the desktop of my Mac from https://tsssaver.1conan.com/v2/ and getting 502 Bad Gateway . This has been the case for the last week too. Tried clicking on the save to Google Drive link and get Failed Download XHR error.

I see there a blobsaver on github but it requires installing Java which I would like to avoid. Anyone have this problem and a solution?

TSS Saver - SHSH Blobs Saver

An online easy to use APTicket / SHSH2 blob saver and checker. SHSH2 blobs are used in unsigned iOS upgrades and downgrades. App available on https://repo.1conan.com

astral marten Dec 29, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

Why tf is installing java a issue?

storm ridge Dec 29, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

I have operated without it for years and don't need it. If that is the new direction for saving blobs I guess I have no choice, but if the browser solution is just temporary I would rather skip installing java

analog elk Dec 29, 2020, 4:45 PM

I mean you don't have to use blobsaver, however you may need libimobiledevice to get the nonce if your device is A12 or newer

#

another web based method is https://shsh.host/

SHSH Host

Save SHSH2 files for your device for up/downgrading to unsigned iOS versions using futurerestore

#

once you got the nonce

#

oh wait this is tvOS

#

I forgot what channel we're in

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

@storm ridge if you are jailbroken just install latest TSSAgent

analog elk Dec 29, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

then yeah don't need nonce here

#

you can use shsh.host if you got the ECID from the device, or what @desert hawk said

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

that will hit 1conan for you dirrctly from device

#

and should do a check daily iirc.

storm ridge Dec 29, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Ya, on device is another option, it's just that I've always used the browser to download and store all my blobs for a ton of devices I have. One central folder for reference

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

@storm ridge if you run TSSAgent on device its response should be a download link from 1conan

#

that you can still hit on a desktop

#

just fyi

#

i should prob download that file and offer up the results over airdrop. wasnt an option when i first wrote it

storm ridge Dec 29, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

ok good to know. In my situation I have a bunch of devices I leave turned off and don't always use, also some I collect for family members and the device is not onsite. I have all the device ECID #'s and I just plug them into the browser interface and get the latest blobs to download all in one session, a bit more streamlined.

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

indeed., i should make something myself that i can run more streamlined like that too 🤣

#

took about 7 days but at this point tvOS FLEX is almost 1:1 with its iOS counterpart, even got it building last night with zero SDK patches necessary 💯

#

had to do some clever workarounds for some of that

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

the annoying thing is there are some things that are marked as unavail / prohibited for completely arbitrary reasons.

#

and without ignoring them the UI goes to shit 🤣

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

Any possible way in the future that we will be able to inject Flex into Headboard/Pineboard without it crashing those two? @desert hawk

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

@umbral ingot not sure why it is crashing them.

#

it /might/ be fixed already cuz there was something that was making it crash sandboxed apps that mightve also made it crash those two

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

@umbral ingot will be fixed in next release

#

although HeadBoard you will need to use alternate means to navigate the UI it doesnt respond to siri touch events

#

airgmagic will work though

#

@umbral ingot packages/com.nito.flexinjected_1.3-2_appletvos-arm64.deb on its way up with ability to inject into PB and HB, and the flex injected applist bundle will also list hidden/system applications now too

#

it was my fancy icon fetching code for app icons so it was still a similar issue that was taking down sandboxed apps

#

always gotta be the frivolous things 🤣

umbral ingot Dec 29, 2020, 9:26 PM

That’s fine man thanks for the info

jaunty rune Dec 29, 2020, 9:32 PM

Cant wait till i figure out how to use it. Youtube no ads here i come.. and cant things like say changing the opacity of the dock be done now that you can inject pb/hb

desert hawk Dec 29, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

@jaunty rune you could always inject those two, its just my flexinjected tweak was doing things that cause PineBoard and HeadBoard to crash for reasons im still not quite sure of

#

@jaunty rune just FYI this is just flipboard explorer, if you are thinking about the flex that lets you write tweaks directly on device thats a different project.

really wish they werent both called flex 🤣

but if you have one of the 'acceptable' ID's in there

#

and add it to your Info.plist you will be loaded without code injection being at all necessary into the app listings

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

Wow nice

#

Thanks for the info

#

Haha made a pun

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

please dont abuse it too heavily

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

Info.plist that is

#

I won’t

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

trying to keep it limited to the checkra1n app and nitoTV for the most part which is why i didnt really make a big fuss about it

#

that and i probaly already got kicked off twitter by that time

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

Understandable

#

Twitter who? lol 😂

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

but if im being honest, my productivity and happiness levels have skyrocketed without that shit heap

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

Amen man

#

I don’t get on there that often anymore

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

my only regret is not triggering people with my current PFP

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

Unless when I update a tweak or something

#

Haha

#

Would’ve love to see that

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

oh god the howls would've been..... ambrosia

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

I think it’s pretty sick man

#

But other people not so much

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

that sweater plus that gun? haha just glorious

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

Precisely

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

anyhow im gonna go jump in the hot tub and relax for a bit. i think this will probably be the last i work on tvOS stuff this actively and aggressively for a bit. need to get things back in order with my Guardian work the rest of the week

#

think i rounded out almost everything i wanted to and THEN some

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

Understandable man! Take some RR

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

i still cant believe that i wrote a freaking date picker

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

We appreciate ya

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

lulz

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

I know it’s like 1:1 to Apple’s IMO

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

yeh its just missing 2 modes and then it will be

#

but it satisfies what it needs to for the main reason i wrote it, FLEX. haha

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

Helps us all out in the long run!

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

also made me learn something SUPER valuable for the focus engine

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

All I know is that sure was a feat

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

you want a private API call that will force the focus to ANY view you want? @umbral ingot

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

Sure man

#

That would be nice!

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

[self setPreferredFocusedItem:TARGET_VIEW]

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

Thank you 🙏

#

I’m gonna try to get that issue resolved with screen record module over the next couple days myself.

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

i've only played w/ it for a little bit

#

but it seems to work pretty flawlessly to immediately switch focus to the view i wanted.

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

Maybe even do that one thing that @fleet parcel wanted as well

#

Screen recording without opening the cc

#

Downside is figuring out the gestures

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

the reason i discovered that is because i wanted to make it possible to account for the infinite table views on the date picker and being able to get to other focused elemented in the UI

#

and what i ended up doing is adding a tap gesture recognizer when the date picker is active that listens for 'menu' turns out that swallows ALL 'menu' calls until it loses focus

#

so when it receives that menu call in the gesture recog @selector i try to force a focus change from the main view

#

and then the main view declares the preferredFocusEnvironments of whatever variable

#

to the view i want to grab focus from the picker

#

and thats how 'menu' resigns focus to a different view in a different heirarchy without using any private API calls

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

Sounds very well thought out man

#

Nicely done

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

and thats whats happening here https://github.com/lechium/KBDatePicker/blob/master/KBDatePicker/KBDatePickerView.m#L132-L146

respectively

#

it was a super valuable lesson i learned which is hte main reason i wanted to share it

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

It actually looks really simple one I look at the code

#

Pulling the specific view and focusing on that view.

#

Is the icing on the cake

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

so thats how pressing 'menu' relinquishes control back to the 'toggle' button in that particular library/project

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

Very useful

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

so its kind of a way to create your own new view hierarchy for exiting out of elements until you allow it to exit the app

#

which is another reason im happy i did this

fleet parcel Dec 30, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

@umbral ingot make a gif animation of your logo (or anything you'd like) and i'll throw it in Respringer

tvos fw

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

@lone cypress havent tested on 14.3 yet, works ok on 14.2 though.

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

gotta say theres nothing apple botched worse on tvOS but how to use UISearchControllers is a confusing disaster.

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

i really miss the days when i didnt have to rewrite 99.99% of sample code i find 🤣

#

swift has utterly eviscerated a once great ecosystem. and its met with a baffling thunderous applause from most devs. mind boggling 🤷‍♂️

umbral ingot Dec 30, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

Doesn’t surprise me @desert hawk

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 4:34 PM

nothing does anymore right? lol

when apple gives you lemons, you make lemonade any way you can

@umbral ingot @fleet parcel

how i had to resort to making search work lol

idgaf it works 🙂

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

if you get the visual effect view and set it to inactive it'll probably be more readable

#

the UIVisualEffectView

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

@cyan veldt tnx for the tip ill try it out 🙂

#

hm the view itself IS a UIVisualEffectView

#

#"<UIVisualEffectView: 0x1011b47a0; frame = (0 0; 1920 1080); alpha = 0.7; autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x281e80b70>; layer = <CALayer: 0x2816eeee0>> clientRequestedContentView effect=<UIBlurEffect: 0x281275520> style=UIBlurEffectStyleATVAutomatic"```

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

yeah just set the .state property to disabled

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

need some kind of effect in between them so both text can be read

fleet parcel Dec 30, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

i have yet to implement swype in the keyboard

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

@cyan veldt cant set the view to disabled then it doesnt work

#

also doesnt have any effect on its appearance

#

and if i nullify the effect property that isnt good either

#

the best i can do is just take down the alpha of the view

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

view.state = UIVisualEffectStateInactive is what you're doing?

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

state isnt even a property of the class

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

might be the cocoa version i'm thinking of

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

maybe

#

i dont even see any hits on this anywhere at all 'UIVisualEffectStateInactive'

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

yeah, it is NSVisualEffectStateInactive

#

just googled it

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

ah

#

yeh thats just an AppKit thing

#

still respect that you even know / use AppKit lol

#

dying artform

#

i mean its all ill ever use when i make mac apps obviously

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

can't see it lasting too much longer

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

eh itll last 'forever' for me. im stopping at mojave on this laptop so itll always work for anything i care about

#

and once this laptop dies im done with macs for my laptops

#

apple is just straight garbage now. their laptops dont have any useful ports, the keyboard is trash, and the direction of the OS is just .... terrible.

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

I mostly agree with that

#

and i'm in the same camp w/ objective-c

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

yeh the ARM performance is impressive but meh.

#

thats just not enough for me

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

i'm sure it'll have some nice benefits but doubt i'll give up a pc for it

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

literally the ONLY thing i cant replicate in *nix is the ability to build all xcode projects. but ill be able to build the ones i care about

#

no 1:1 ibtool

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

i'm sure you can cross compile it all

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

ALMOST all of it

#

anything with complicated storyboard or xib nonsense wont build

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

true

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

cuz the open source version of ibtool is very old and unmaintained

#

and i have yet to even test it

#

otherwise i have EVERYTHING i need in my nvim setup

#

to get 1:1 what i get out of xcode

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

I wish xcode was more customizable

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

plugins used to be pretty cool before they started ruining the app with pointless swift re-writes

#

the text editor is garbage now

#

it used to be better

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

yeah it feels like a chore to use now

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

i added some super cool stuff to my XTrello plugin before they did that

#

but once they did that i lost interest for maintaining it

#

that and having to re-sign xcode is annoying

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

did anyone ever make plugins for apple tv 2 projects?

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

wdym?

#

i wrote something for every appletv except the third, although nitoTV still 'just works' on the third without me changing anything lol

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

well I tried to get one of the apple tv 2 apps building the other day and gave up

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

oh yeh it sucks to do

#

like really badly

#

it wasnt so bad in the early days

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

I linked to all the headers and it still wasn't happy

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

yeh if you are > 6.0 then you have to write everything either stubbed out OR create literally everything at runtime

#

i have a sample project for it

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

is it the helloworld one on your github?

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:23 PM

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

I think this was the one I tried, i'll have to give it another go

#

I'm working on a tool like seas0npass at the moment, was hoping to create something for xcode to make developing apps for it easier

#

(to go with it)

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

ah gotcha

#

okay so honestly id go the route that my firecore compatriots went instead of mine if you try to reinvigorate any of this work. i dont remember EXACTLY what they did - and i didnt fully undrestand it at the time - but they made some kind of 'support' frameworks that gave enough of a stubbed implementation to keep things from throwing exceptions when trying to load since certain classes were loaded yet

#

becauase the core issue is the main frameworks we used prior to 6 were merged into the 'AppleTV' app itself

#

which is analagous to Finder, SpringBoard, PineBoard/HeadBoard et al

#

so when you try to inherit from those classes before they've even loaded from the app they load in as part of a plugin to it... kaboom.

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

I read a bit about that, are there any examples of that left online?

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

i dont think they ever released any of their techniques publicly

#

i think his devs just shared some info & details with me as a professional courtesy / favor at the time

#

but i never tried to use it or action upon it because i had already completely re-written nitoTV in this new fashion by that time

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:29 PM

it's cool that you're still working on tvOS after all this time

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

that version of nitoTV IS open source

#

if you werent aware

#

🙂 yeh i still enjoy doing it! haha

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

ya I had a look through this

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

its funny i briefly lost interest when they added an app store because i became less necessary to my main client that i did contracting work for (firecore)

#

cuz he didnt need me anymore to get his apps in the door

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

I always expected more to come from the earlier apple TVs

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

and whats even funnier? literally NONE of my prior AppleTV knowledge was even remotely helpful in doing stuff on tvOS

#

my general iOS knowledge was helpful. but the whole thing was turned on its head with the siri remote and focus engine stuff.

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

I kind of dislike tvOS development because of how different it is from regular UIKit development

#

maybe that's just from lack of experience though

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

yeh its off putting (sic) at first for sure, but once u get the hang of it its really fun

#

📎 screenshot_108.png

#

took alpha down another smidge

#

i think its a good balance betwen reading the competing text

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

looks somewhat usable now

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

i mean you figure if you are doing this debugging you arent sitting on the other end of the room or on your couch haha

#

you are probably either hooked up to a monitor like i am right now or sitting fairly close to said tv

#

and for that circumstance its completely usable

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

I have a little 10" monitor just for debugging this apple tv

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

yep got a 24 inch one here i bought right around when we started working on checkra1n

#

cuz initially i had to video tape the output and send it to them to debug shit

#

and doing that from a tv just wasnt happening, so i bought this monitor SPECIFICALLY to remedy that problem

#

so using FLEX on that in this kind of setup is perfect 🙂

#

i mean it'd be perfect if i could get the search view to cooperate in the way they design it to be used, but its just finicky garbage on tvOS

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

I wanted a tweak to add imdb ratings to the netflix app

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

plus im porting/tweaking a project that was never targeted for tvOS so making it work for tvOS without too drastically changing anythign is also a major goal

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

maybe i'll have to do it myself

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

haha there u go 🙂

#

i mean i already macro'd the fuck out of the code so "not too drastically changing anything" is already out the window

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

okay NOW i think im finally not lying when i say im done w/ FLEX for a bit. the inability to search for driving me mad. uploading 4.3.0-2 now 🙂

cyan veldt Dec 30, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

awesome

desert hawk Dec 30, 2020, 9:40 PM

so at this point, to my awareness, the only thing missing is the 3d snapshot view, i tried to fix it with the same fix that helped the “preview” section in the object browser,

Yowza well best of luck man

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

haha its easy enough @umbral ingot but it also means i need to re-assess how the controller works

#

oo and i should also make it more game controller friendly

#

THAT would be cool

umbral ingot Dec 31, 2020, 4:43 AM

ooh that would be neat!

Hoping to fix some of these charging bugs and get it to work on tvOS 13 in this next update

#

📎 IMG_0221.MP4

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

nice 🙂

#

okay new version out, so i kinda remembered that tapping not pressing certain areas of the siri remote registers as up, down, left, right respectively @umbral ingot

#

so a right tap on menu items OR items during selection mode will also either trigger the contextual menu OR bring up details respectively

#

instead of having to long press

#

if that makes sense

@cyan veldt for 4k i have a pile of goldeneyes lol

jin sent me a bunch as did another contact before the market flooded with thdm

so i was kind of hush-hush about it

i wouldve asked steve for a breakout in the first round but im software not hardware

i cant solder to save my life

you shouldve seen the pile of dead appletvs littlesteve left in HIS wake

yep he pulled off sooo many pads

and the work put in by that company whos name i cam never remember. 🤣

do you know anyone who figured out the pinout of the 3rd gen?

no i dont

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:16 PM

and I don't really know what else people do to figure it out

damnit now im annoyed i cant think of theoor name

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:17 PM

company that did research on atv4k?

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:17 PM

you shouldve seem the work done to isolate the pin and its requesites for the 4k

#

well they were involved across the board in various things for checkrain

#

they got a special thanks in the credits

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:18 PM

yeah would have been crazy

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:18 PM

honestly. that decision turned out to be a blessing

#

getting serial/jtag on an appletv has never been possible without hardware mods before

#

for anyone outside of apple

#

now with dcsd/ge/kanzi that is all possible without ever opening the box

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

has jtag even been achieved at all on apple tv 2/3?

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

yes 2nd gen

#

i have a serialized box

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

I saw the pads on there with J next to it

#

6 of them, is that it?

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

but i honestly still suck at stuff that low level

#

there were two he had to solder and i have some chip/cable from sparkfun to utilize it

#

i dont even remember how to set it up tho

#

that super lower level stuff was never my bag. so even when i have that access i cant do shit with it without direction from one of my smarter compatriots

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

I only have uart wired on my one, couldn't figure out the others

#

jtag/dock connector

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

yeh i honestly cant even properly dilineate between serial/jtag/etc

#

which is why i kind of use them interchangably

#

some topics i have massive ignorance on still

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

I supposed that's probably long lost information now

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

which info?

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

the jtag/dock connector pinout stuff

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

for second gen? nah

#

its on one of the wikis

#

hell i STILL maintain the same wiki from the days first atv was hacked

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

just uart I think

#

i'll have to check

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

https://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Main_Page

Main Page

#

is exact same wiki from day 1

#

actually predates iphone wiki by a tiny bit i think 🤣

#

since first gen ATV came out shortly before iphone

#

but yeh im out of my element if we are talking about hardware intracies which is why i can never help debug breakout issues

#

as closely juxtaposed i am to everything related 🤣

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

my knowledge is pretty limited on the electronics side of it too

#

yeah no info for jtag on the apple tv 2 page

#

just the uart pins on the dock connector

#

i'll get around to figuring it out one day

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

yeh thats the extent of info i still have 🤣

#

i actually have to migrate that and other legacy hosts this year 🤣

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

oh you host awkwardtv?

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

will be time to finally update mediawiki with modern protections for spam so other users can contribute

#

well dustin howett actually hosts nitosoft.com and awkwardtv.org he didnt always host awkwardtv i took over for macTijn ages ago tho

#

so yeh that is under my full control

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

oh I think I remember you talking about that on that spotify podcast

#

a newer more organized wiki would be nice

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

i was on a spotify podcast?

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

ya

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

yeh wayy overdue

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:39 PM

talkboard I think it's called

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

ohhhh that

yeh

#

i forgot its on spotify too 🤣

cyan veldt Dec 31, 2020, 9:39 PM

@fleet parcel hey just grabbed respringer, awesome! Cept everything just plays the glitchra1n

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

fuck datpiff needs a real dev 🤣

fleet parcel Dec 31, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

@jaunty rune you need to disable one to use the other

#

If you toggle them all on.. Then only the first one that you enabled will work

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

@fleet parcel that seems like it could be designed better then. you know theres a single mode selection in applist righf?

fleet parcel Dec 31, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

uhh

desert hawk Dec 31, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

idk what that emoji means

#

lol

#

im not trying to be mean but it just seems like a weird implementation choice @fleet parcel and im wondering if it was driven by misunderstanding what is possible

umbral ingot Dec 31, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

Definitely needing one of those so I can get a 4K

#

I hate soldering lol 😂

jaunty rune Dec 31, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

@fleet parcel yah im dumb but not that dumb lol

#

It does that one no matter what

#

First one i toggled was greenpoison and it did glitchra1n

fleet parcel Dec 31, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

what tvos are you on?

jaunty rune Dec 31, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

14.2

fleet parcel Dec 31, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

i dunno, it's working fine on my end

#

try to toggle glitchra1n on, then off.. apply and respring, then turn on another @jaunty rune

jaunty rune Dec 31, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Ok will in a sec. trying to repair my ds4. Bein a B

#

@fleet parcel ok did that and im guessing verbose? played. Now going to try another

fleet parcel Dec 31, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

cool

#

yeah, the toggles are a bit finicky..

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:00 AM

#

Well i mean after i toggled glitch on and off verbose played

#

Then i tried green again and nothing played

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:00 AM

#

i didn't have much time to fix everything.. but it worked

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

Also it cuts my ds4 connection sometimes

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

yeah because it kills backboardd which was the only trigger i had at the time

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

Other times its fine though. But yah its still not picking the right one or playing at all

#

I just resprang no animation played and i kept the ds4 connection

#

Turned on doom and greenpoison played and i kept connection

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

when you apply it the first time, then its applying whats enabled

#

it'll show what was previously applied because that was still in the memory at the time

#

so for example: if you turn on glitchra1n, apply.. then switch to something else, it'll show glitchra1n. Then the second time its applied, it shows you the one you applied after

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

Ok so how do i start from scratch

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

turn them all off, then apply

#

then it'll set you back to default

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:07 AM

#

Safe mode

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:07 AM

#

thats fine

#

reason why it does that is because it kills backboardd as it uses backboardd and that makes tvOS panic

#

but a fix will come with that soon

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:08 AM

#

Ok so now what should i try

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:08 AM

#

anything you'd like

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:09 AM

#

Tried doom.. verbose played for split second then nothing and back to homescreen

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:09 AM

#

ok, so go back in and just hit apply

#

(if doom is already enabled)

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:10 AM

#

Yes its enabled. nothing played

cyan veldt Jan 1, 2021, 12:10 AM

#

are you talking about respring animations?

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

yes

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

@fleet parcel applied again and verbose played

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

hmm.. i should go to 14.2 and test it

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:14 AM

#

Hope yall dont take what im saying as commands like fix this now! Just testing and letting you know is all really. No rush at all im just stoked on respring animation being possible

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:16 AM

#

yeah, this was an idea i had for quite some time. I didn't know how to really do it properly (tweak wise) until covid hit. It wasn't until then that I realized that changing system files is a big no-no so I worked on implementing it for tvOS

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

Seems like one of the only good things to come of covid/2020 is yalls major progress in tweaks and the like

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:19 AM

#

I like the idea of respringer! Just installed it @fleet parcel nice work

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:19 AM

#

its janky af.. i need to get my head straight..

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:20 AM

#

Have you looked into doing the prefs similar to how I do it for AerialChanger? Like have a list of them for the user to select instead of toggles?

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:20 AM

#

yupp... oh believe me, i've fiddled with that for a week and just ended up wasting time with theos complaining

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:20 AM

#

Yowza

#

What’s it complaining about?

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

TVSettings.h not being found

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

Hmm 🤔

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

i really need to clean up our whole stock environ for doing this work. lol

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

You’re telling me lol 😂

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:22 AM

#

and its fascinating how that works.. it compiles just fine, but the moment I even think about touching anything in the prefs.. it just kills it

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:22 AM

#

Strange man

#

and thanks BTW

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

finally after a gillion years im transferring nitosoft.com to my control haha. gonna need to move that to a new host soon finally same w/ awkwardtv.org.

#

lulz

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

I've tried everything from swapping out sdks, adding the framework, specifying the location.. but even if i change the vers of sdk, its either that header is not there or foundation...

@fleet parcel i mean the easiest solution is to put it in the folder in question and then just add an -I. to CFLAGS in your Makefile

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

That might be the best thing to do

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

i did that too.. it complained about the header not being found

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

quickest and easiest solution

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

so at that time.. it was like fighting a toddler

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

BUNDLE_NAME = AerialChanger
AerialChanger_FILES = $(wildcard *.mm)
AerialChanger_INSTALL_PATH = /Library/PreferenceBundles
AerialChanger_FRAMEWORKS = UIKit TVSettingKit
AerialChanger_PRIVATE_FRAMEWORKS = TVSettingKit
AerialChanger_CFLAGS+= -I. -ITVSettings -ITVSettingsKit -Wno-error
AerialChanger_LDFLAGS = -undefined dynamic_lookup

#

That’s how my make file is setup

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:25 AM

#

yeh that should do it.

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:25 AM

#

yeah, either my setup is screwed or i'm dumb

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:25 AM

#

You’re not dumb

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:25 AM

#

little of both? i kid kid

#

😉

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:25 AM

#

Could just be just an issue on how yours is setup man

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:26 AM

#

in this case, i'm clearly not worthy of that hammer

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:26 AM

#

I could do the prefs for you if you want

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:26 AM

#

nah.. it's okay. just need time

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:27 AM

#

Ok man

#

You’ll get it

#

Other than that nice work

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:28 AM

#

@fleet parcel the most important question is which THEOS & SDK is it looking for?

#

make messages=yes will help

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:28 AM

#

wdym "which"? there's only one theos installed and one sdk specified

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:29 AM

#

also is it looking for THEOS or $(THEOS) in Makefile

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:29 AM

#

SYSROOT = $(THEOS)/sdks/AppleTVOS12.4.sdk

#

Or something along those lines

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:29 AM

#

yeh dont do that anymore

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 12:29 AM

#

yeah

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:30 AM

#

I have an older version of Theos too

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:30 AM

#

target = appletv:14.2:12.4 or somethin like that

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:30 AM

#

So I don’t know how yours is compared to mine

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:30 AM

#

afk atm so that might be a little off

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:31 AM

#

I don’t like using the new ones because I get so much compilation issues

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:31 AM

#

basically look at the nitoClass setup procedure. that will literally use a pretty new theos and leave the setup in place to build most of my open source stuff

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 12:32 AM

#

Good to know

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 12:32 AM

#

make messages=yes is your friend

#

that will print out everything theos does

#

but yeh the first nitoclass was exclusively setting up your build system with something that will build stuff like breezy & tvcontrol center from a clean slate

#

tl:dr look at that process to see how a proper setup would look.

#

if you include the script version itd setup a build environ for breezy in macos AND several flavors of linux 🤣

@umbral ingot there a way to airdrop past screen recordings?

#

Or one at a time instead pf them all

#

Also seems i can now screen record “headboard” with double press share on ds4

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:18 AM

#

Interesting 🤔

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:18 AM

#

jaunty rune <@217074232738185216> there a way to airdrop past screen recordings?

All recordings will be airdropped

#

You’re supposed to delete the ones you don’t want using Ethereal

#

As for the screen recording with the controller that’s something that’s built in from Apple and I don’t quite fully understand how that works

#

Don’t know if I’ll ever

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:21 AM

#

@umbral ingot for sure. Just curious, ever be possible to select a file say in ethereal to airdrop it?

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:21 AM

#

That would be up to @desert hawk and at that point he’s basically making a file manager

#

Which he and I are not very fond of

#

For tvOS

#

But I don’t think 🤔 it would be hard to do

#

You see the recordings get saved to the DCIM folder

#

From Apple

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:22 AM

#

How it is now is great. I need to learn to delete anyway

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:23 AM

#

But the photos app is useless on tvOS

#

So he basically made a symlink to that folder

#

So we can manage my recordings

#

From the module

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:24 AM

#

Doh not sure why i didnt think of sftp filza for grabbing the recording

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:24 AM

#

That too

#

That’s what I originally planned

#

But I was like

#

Nope that’s not good enough

#

I have to do AirDrop

#

Apple’s own internal module

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:24 AM

#

Yah airdrop is slick for sure

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:25 AM

#

Doesn’t even do that

#

And mine is loosely based on it

#

Hence why my module doesn’t keep the recording active when it should

#

I have yet to figure that out

#

Apple’s own internal one had the same issue

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

Itll come to you

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

In due time yes

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:27 AM

#

But yah i think the possible interesting thing about the controller recording is that it didnt work before on the headboard

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:27 AM

#

Hmm strange

#

I need to study this a bit more

#

I’m slowly dissecting replayd

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:28 AM

#

Only thing i can think of is the update to flex

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:28 AM

#

possibly so

#

It’s keeping something alive

#

That my module isn’t

#

Could be because TVSystemMenuService is killed when PineBoard/backboardd gets killed

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

Was hoping knowing that it wasnt working few days ago and now it is would clue yall in to something

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

Thanks for the heads up

#

But even if my module gets killed the daemon for replaykit would still be alive

#

So I don’t get it

#

That’s why those annoying red bars stay and you can’t initiate a new recording

#

Speaking of those annoying bars I still haven’t found out what view those are

#

I hate that ugly thing

#

lol 😂

jaunty rune Jan 1, 2021, 3:38 AM

Yah intrusive for sure

@jaunty rune I downgraded to 14.2 and been respringing for over 5 hours... I can't reproduce the issue you're experiencing

#

you could try reverting the bootstrap or perhaps reboot and re-jb

umbral ingot Jan 1, 2021, 8:20 PM

#

Hmm 🤔 thanks for taking a look into that for me @desert hawk

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 8:21 PM

#

@umbral ingot i really want access to whatever video is the latest so we can send that instead of the whole folder haha

#

i assumed it would be easy but some realllllllllly weird shit is happening

#

i try to hook those functions to see & intercept an example of the blocks then use CTBlockDescriptor to do the heavy lifting for me.

#

but its either a) refusing to hook any of those functions in ReplayKit or b) when it is hooking my logs from said hooks are going to /dev/null

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 8:25 PM

#

-off topic- is it possible to have airphoto play gifs?

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 8:25 PM

#

maybe?

#

i dont even remember how the photo library i used works. although i know its possible to add gif support to UIImageView with this one really handy category i /think/ mattt wrote

#

so if i added that category and gif UTI type itd probably work

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 8:27 PM

#

would be nice to have a preview of a respring anim before applying

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 8:38 PM

#

that guys gotta look older than that by now...

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 8:41 PM

#

so AirPhoto will actually already accept gifs it just shows a still image. so me adding that class MIGHT be enough

#

yep gifs work now haha. easy enough

#

ill upload a new build in a moment

fleet parcel Jan 1, 2021, 8:44 PM

#

cool

desert hawk Jan 1, 2021, 8:45 PM

@fleet parcel alright new AirPhoto is live and i updated the source on github as well. i love when requests are that easy haha

theres another method u can call with a url:handler set of params, i guessed it returns two args the first was the url

gotta see if i can load up an image

#

the downside: it requires a ton of dependancies that clash with bingners repo

#

so i think i might not have been seeing hooks where i expected cuz those methods were never called 🤣

#

which reminds me... the double repo bug persists in nitoTV with bingners repo

desert hawk Jan 2, 2021, 4:28 AM

#

yeh dont conflict with his repo ever. theres a better way to handle that with diverting and shit

#

talk to him about it, yeh i know about that one just hasnt bubbled to the top yet

#

this screenrecord thing was bugging me so i had to figure it out

#

plus im finally done obsessing over FLEX. theres only one remaining major issue im aware of but it can wait

sup guys, search is not working for me now, where i can find jailbreak for my apple tv3

@umbral ingot my best piece of advice that seems to work every time. just guess. theres a good chance its between 1-3 argument types

#

for the block arg types

#

@ocean eagle the appletv 3 was the least supported jailbreak out of any of them i actually never even officially supported it at all lol. i honestly dont even remember all the details about it. i know @latent fjord was working on something and then later tihmstar was and released something. i updated the nitoTV github repo so other people could build and tweak it if needed but thats about as much as i did

#

the device is just too old to get any attention from me, sorry.
