no, but that’s dope

i couldnt figure out why 3d explorer wasnt working and the search is janky as fuck but it works so idgaf
i had to write a UIDatePicker and port a UISlider from swift haha
so far.. meh, i still need to test loading an image but above all it /should/ work
Does the 3D explorer still need work? I just finished a project so I’m looking for something to do
the only thing that would drive down this idea is the inability to connect mice/keyboards properly
unless you use bluetooth
@civic venture get search to work properly needs work first, then the 3d explorer imo
it builds now with zero SDK patches natively for tvOS
@civic venture the things i had to do to achieve that haha
good ole KVC is all i will say
btw @civic venture my initial theory on the 3d explorer was the fact that UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(view.bounds.size, NO, 0); [view drawViewHierarchyInRect:view.bounds afterScreenUpdates:YES]; appears to literally never work on tvOS
so i had to change that to begin with to get any of the "show preview" views working
so i tried ot do the same on the snapshot view
but then when removing that button provided an kludgy opportunity to shoehorn in search, i decided to not care for now
Thanks again man! I’m Still doing some research to fix that respring issue.
TV 3 A1469
7.6.2(8144)
can be jailbreak or need to revert and old firmware?
sorry the questions im really noob
@ocean eagle Apple TV 3 A1469 7.5 = 8.4.3 (12H885) with etasonATV
you can downgrade via itunes
damn... im so noob... copy and paste here? 😅
copy/paste what?
nah, not here
oh.. ok, trying to find a tutorial how to downgrade
Depending on your Apple TV 3 version download
AppleTV3,1_8.4.3_12H876_Restore.ipsw for Apple TV 3,1
AppleTV3,2_8.4.3_12H876_Restore.ipsw for Apple TV 3,2
idk which one is mine
a1469 is 3,2
ty
downgrade complete
terminal you mean putty?
i will use putty since idk what you mean ssh 😛
@desert hawk @civic venture
neat! it shows up on video output?
@fleet parcel im lost at putty
qemu 🙏
what's up @ocean eagle
yeah.. took a while to set up, but works great
host name: ip address of your apple tv @ocean eagle
Ill start a procursus tv suite soon
i tried but it close by it self
i had to massage around bingner.. a lot of dependancies clash
No doubt, botched repo
network: connection refused
@ocean eagle did you jailbreak?
thank you sir
*TV
idk what im doing wrong but i cant change Send Data to Apple
i press the play button but no succes
might have to press it harder
sure
password: alpine
dpkg -i /var/root/untether.deb
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
reboot
i do that or
wget http://joshtv.net/party.sh
wget first
then the second command @ocean eagle
these two commands will take care of everything for you
wget http://joshtv.net/party.sh
dpkg -i /var/root/untether.deb
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
reboot
```this way?
ok
then sit and wait 5 mins

what i do now?
enjoy
no coolstar stuff allowed lol @analog elk
thats the only rule anymore 🤣
I don’t bundle any coolstar stuff?
thank you for you patience with me @fleet parcel
no worries
I don’t think I have a single coolstar thing on my repo...
isnt procursus some kind of odysseyra1n related thing? forgive me if im wrong
yes/no
but no removing our bootstrap
Odysseyra1n was made with procursus, which i’m not affiliated with
There’s also been implementations of it using substitute and substrate
cuz i will rain punishment of a million fires if anyone makes my job harder
Someone made an uncursus as well which i hate but
It just all goes to show how portable it is 🤷♀️
sounds like 300 part 3
lofl
i have enough nonsense to clean up after that i created on my own
is all im saying. no removing our bootstrap
If I wanted to make any nonsense for you, nonsense would be present
that was my only issue with any of what he did.
i know YOU didnt im just providing context for my control freak aversion
except for the *lib -1's and -0
@fleet parcel that is part of what makes it better
I feel like ive explained why thats a thing
indeed, but it conflicts
i JUST migrated to his repo
It’s actually cut and dry in this case
I don’t want you to migrate. There’s a reason I haven’t pushed checkra1n to migrate to me, because I don’t personally care.
because i always do

If I make a procursus dist it will be for me and only me because I will not put that other garbage on any of my devices again.
at the end of yhe day if falls on me if shit is fundamentally broken
@analog elk im not trying to be a dick im just trying to provide my side of why i chafe at these things. its bad enough i had to splinter repos between checkra1n and electra et al
that has made my life a noghtmare re maintenance
nightmare*
i miss chimeras bootstrap
I don’t think you’re being a dick. I just think you’re misunderstanding that I’m not trying to make you migrate lol
i know you arent
im just saying another option being openly available especially if ot conflicted with a repo i JUST transitioned to for main packages
wouldnt be good for my ecosystem
Nothings gonna damage your ecosystem
i know
It wont be an option because i wouldnt provide patches for nitotv to function
No patches, no nitotv, no reason for an “odysseyra1nTV”
Just me able to use apt install to make my box a test machine lol
“odysseyra1nTV” that's a mouthful
@analog elk i get it, this info isnt just for you its context for everyone that might be reading
Understood
not trying to act like a tyrant 😉
lul
Oh FUCK yeah
Dependency issues on another platform
at nitoTV when i change to weather i got black screen and then goes back to main appleTV screen
is ok?
oh..
install cool stuff
ok
apple tv 2/3 isn't heavily maintained right now (maybe in the future?) but for now, you've got a few things you can use
yeh so nitoTV was never actually updated for the third gen, some stuff just happened to still work
kinda plays the same role for the 2.. just a little snappier
i could re-compile nitoTV 6 and /maybe/ fix the weather bug... but that'll take more time than it would for someone to bar hop
why not "update all"? seems to work fine for me
because it will install packages that break dpkg and result in errors
fixable.. just haven't had time to do it
only issue i've had is AFC2 not working
is that working on yours?
update all does break, nvm
hi guys, been trying to install that VPN thing on my ATV 4K cant get it to work (or do anything)
would appriciate some help
@tacit egret you dont have to install it manually unless you are modifying it.
everything is done via AirDrop. if you arent jailbroken it 100% cannot work tho
and that being said ive only gotten it working (or even tried to) with guardians VPN. it /should/ work with other vpns as long as they are ikev2
hi guys, kody looks like outdate there is a way to update?
@ocean eagle unless they started putting up new builds again, you pretty much gotta build it yourself lol
@tacit egret youll need to modify this file and airdrop it over: https://github.com/lechium/vpnd/blob/master/Example.mobileconfig
omg they actually started putting builds up again. ill try and test / repackage / post one today.
im way behind on package updates at the moment
jfc its 270 megs now?!?!?!?!!?!,
they really need to learn to trim the fat 270 MB is absurd 🤣🤣🤣
😂
it went up 100 MB in size... just.. how??
did they rewrite it in swift or something? 🤣🤣🤣
Can I airdrop it from my iPhone?
@tacit egret gotta edit it first of course but yeh
replacing the username / pw and hostname placeholders
I’ll try now let’s see how it goes
👍
yeh i know it should work with other VPNs but i havent tested. and ive had so many other things i had to work on lately it hasnt gotten much attention from me lately
Your awesome man .. there’s a chance of using vpn on atv so that’s a start
Well, can’t figure out which hostname to place 😣
@ocean eagle kodi is now up to date
19.0.0~beta2
@tacit egret yeh im not sure how to help there. the whole reason i even investigated this was because we were adding a mobileconfig export feature to the app at guardian and i was like.. well shit why not see if ic an make it work on tvOS
so its pretty seamless there-
@tacit egret an example host name would be like sanjose-ipsec-13.host.com
no https or anything like that
just the hostname for the vpn, they should give you those details somewhere
Thank you sir
any time 🙂 i was wayyy behind on updating that. thankfully i dont have to repackage them in any way anymore
granted he used a different package ID
which i guess renders the rest of those versions in there obsolete so i guess i should clean em out lol
they are pretty ancient anyways
I’ll check that
Better keep 17 up too @desert hawk .. Kodi 19 doesn't work with any sources
@fleet parcel that ship has sailed lol
i just pulled em all down
he had a different bundle id, im not repackaging and reuploading a ~300 meg file
my internet is way too unreliable for that kind of pain right now
Oof
/this/ right here is why i hate dealing with kodi stuff
If the devs updated from py2 to py3..
on one end they dont update appletv builds for MONTHS
so i stop checking for new ones to upload
and then i check again today and theres like 8 kajillion new debs
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I used to upload a new one everyday
But they change little by little
So now I'm waiting until it's all finished
Or its just wasting bandwidth
yeh i had no idea they were actively updating tvOS builds again
mainly because of the headache it would cause and how big the fucking files are. and they used to weigh in at like 100
and now they are a whopping 270
oh and fucking python lol
yeh 2->3 breaks like everything ever
i really honestly cant stand that language
Kodi is now around 1.7Gb
if you think about all the things it does, it kind of makes sense
not the 1.7gb, but the 200mb binary
can't figure out why afc2 isn't working on this atv2
@cyan veldt yeh i havent touched a 2nd gen in years
nah there’s no reason for a binary to be 200+mb, no matter what it’s doing. That’s bigger than the macos kernel. Likely a lot of unneeded dependencies or duplicated shit statically linked
fair enough
@desert hawk how ido i update kodi?
ah shit they will conflict wont they cuz of different package IDs i didnt think of that
@ocean eagle will have to unfortunately torch the old one first to install the new one
ok, im noob, can you point me a tutorial?
a tutorial for what @ocean eagle
head into nitotv, select kodi under "installed" and then remove it
then just download the one in the sources
bruh
i have no "installed"
oh bro
they stopped updating for the 2nd/3rd gen ages ago
as did i
the software on any boxes before the 4th gen arent seeing any updates from me.
ngl, seeing politic retweets from justin is cringe
oh, the political points are fine.. just not the same 😛
ok.. i'm saying that what he's retweeting is fine.. its just not the same as it used to be when you did it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
id still be there if crybaby communists didnt stalk and report me over literally nothing
although tbh its for the better, ive been generally happier and a lot more productive
it apparently wasn't "nothing" according to a vast majority of the twitterverse folks
so those crybabies still lose in their “victories”
lol “vast majority”
any vast majority who held that opinion doesnt have anything relevant or valid to say
i know that twitter is overrun at the HQ with these same worthless hyperoffended crybabies , im shocked i didnt get banned sooner tbh
well, they jailed you a few times
Justin blocked me 🧐. My opinion is, if you’re gonna be super vocal about your politics, you can’t also be very sensitive to people poking at it
justin blocked you?? i wonder why.. 
I made a joke about Republicans a few years ago
people that are more conservative are the minority in this community, and after i got thrown off the platform i think i should've taken his approache instead
i muted these whiny stalkers rather than blocking them
and they just keep stalking and reporting everything
i don't think i've ever been the blockee.. but i do block adverts
psshh you can’t make it to the top without catching a few blocks on the way
@civic venture indeed but either way that platform is a burning dumpster fire of garbage and im honestly relieved to be free from its grip
tbh, i couldn't tell whom blocked me... wish Twitter told us without going to said blocked profiles to find out
i got excited for a sec earlier today i thought i figured out how to get Xcode to play nice w/ newer OSes again re:debugging but womp womp
lol
apparently some of the core kexts/frameworks they install as part of xcode et al are still compatible with mojave
speaking of which.. wonder if device support files are out yet..
and even the frameworks that CLAIM they are 10.15 only actually stll load without error
for 14.3?
i actually just updated my repo again today but it turns out the guy i forked from is pretty active keeping his up to date as well
ah, recent
i was gunna download every version of xcode just to rip every vers of support files
thank you guys
whats funny though is if i try to load the new frameworks in place of their old counterparts Xcode 11 crashes lol
but i was hoping ROCKit.framework being updated would be enough to getting debugging and screenshots and everything else to work again
no such luck
oh actually i lied
screenshots just worked again
i guess its just debugging that is broken
okay thats at least one victory 🙂
its funny.. i noticed xcode throws a hidden "media" app very suddenly upon diagnosing for tvOS...
i just macromade their package
lol
and i also figured out how they 'write' to / now on big sur etc
i was like "why the fuck cant i find any of these files"
also, trustd invades privacy
lulz as they say they are so conscious of privacy concerns
ah i think i know why that debugging is broken. its acutally an issue in Xcode itself in how its trying to communicate and not its support frameworks or kexts. blah
shit though wait.. i wonder if i try to run Xcode 12 with the proper frameworks and other science in place if itll actually work...
cuz those frameworks load without issue that are supposeldy 10.15+ only
not that i /want/ Xcode 12. but demands are being made to make a new 14+ only Widget that requires SwiftUI and Xcode 12 to even create
and catalina isnt touching this laptop, and the laptop doesnt even support Big Sur
apparently i only had up to 13.4 for support files, yet was able to sideload on 14.1

indeed not..
yeh if u were sideloading through something like impactor or something else it makes sense that still worked i think
but through xcode theres no way
10.2 on HS?
btw if anyone is curious how i found out what was being installed specifically for Xcode to support new versions / devices etc

everything is tracked by plist and bom files
and lsbom is how you list the contents of a bom file
and for the extra curious BOM = 'bill of materials'
so i think installing the kext and companion daemon etc for that part is how i got screenshots and whatnot working again
so thats pretty cool
i think i saw bom files in ota... unless that's pom
Ha my 3yr vpn plan expires in two weeks. Always felt like it was neverending.. damn.
$22 for 3 years too lol crazy deal
that's pretty nice - not quite as cheap but you could get TorGuard for 3 years for $70 with promo code TGLIFETIME50
or 1 year $30
Yah im mainly looking for something that unlocks netflix countries if im being honest lol. I know nord is good and i think surfshark. I have windscribe rn
Speaking of @desert hawk i just tried adding a profile from windscribe. Nito popped up asking if i wanted to add guardian japan. I allowed it and next popup said vpn disconnected
I mean i edited your example profile with the windscribe credentials
Also it was a uk profile not japan
TorGuard offers dedicated streaming IPs for a few countries
IIRC it's US, UK, Japan, Spain
oh and France and Germany
they are $4.99/month each on top of the VPN subscription, however with the "Streaming Bundle" you get 2 for the price of 1 basically
Eesh yah last resort maybe. Thanks for the info though
comes out to $60/year or $100/2yr with the streaming bundle + 50% discount code (VPN service + 2 dedicated streaming IPs included)
you can also pay quarterly and get basically the same price as yearly
U a sales rep? Lol jp
nah ik I sound like one at this point but no I'm just a satisfied customer 😉
Hah right on. Good to know
But i got this $67 three year surfshark deal starin me down. All kinds of netflix countries. But no satisfied customer letting me know whats up lol
@desert hawk got the vpn to enable for a second
@tacit egret u get the vpn working?
@jaunty rune the example profile is hardcoded to details from a guardian japan vpn so it read that from desc
For sure yah ive been reading through it to see if i missed something
Just wont connect though it did once for about a minute
@jaunty rune yeh its a huge pita to troubleshot
tnx appreciate it
#ScreenRecordModule version 1.0.3-1 now live on https://t.co/seD0DNUm38 thanks to #nitoTV it now only AirDrops the latest video. You can still view your old recordings in Ethereal. https://t.co/tFfmaliJ3v
thanks to @desert hawk for the big help
I also figured out how to make the recordings save to the camera roll! so we can still view the old ones if need be! @desert hawk
videoPath = [videoURL path]; dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ // save the video then airdrop it! UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(videoPath, nil, nil, nil); [self airdropVideo:[videoURL path]]; });
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum
I can't believe I didn't think of that before
👍👍 nice!! @umbral ingot
@umbral ingot im disappointed it took me all day because i was trying to figure out those block arguments
realistically the likelihood the block arg count is > 3 is pretty low
and its likely either gonna be an object or a primitive value. guessing and logging out the results is prob the easiest route to figure that kinda stuff out
and if you are worried about crashes from logging wrong types %p should be safe for either.
iirc
Thanks again man! This helps me a lot I’ll know for next time if I ever come across a similar issue.
for sure!! guessing at block arguments is def the easier route if you cant hook and trigger the function naturally 👍
Hmm back to not being able to screen record headboard with ds4 share doublepress
Ah. Works when headboard is turned on in flex
Guess means itll work everywhere if i notch it?
Yup
Also found where the recordings are saved. Library/ ReplayKit
Thanks for the help man
Something about Flex is giving the ability record with a double press of that controller interesting
I’ll have to keep looking into replaykit
@jaunty rune wait you can screen record by pressing ps4 buttons?? on tvOS??? im so confused
Yeah, by pressing the select button
Or.. Share?
dafook?!?!
ill have to try that out
are we sure on tvOS and not on iOS??
cuz that would make more sense
@desert hawk yah my dualshock 4 will screen record on tvos if you double press share button
Brings up “allow screen recording in App Name”
Some apps like settings and headboard had to be ticked on in flex for it to work in said apps
Double pressing agin will end the recording and bring up airdrop
Recordings saved in Library/ ReplayKit
But they are kinda wonky
respringer 😉
Whoops meant to send this one
@fleet parcel ? But yah i have to still reboot rejail or revert to try and get respringer workin
yeah.. why it doesn't for you is beyond me
makes me wonder if theres a tweak confliction

Only thing i can think of.. but which
which ones do you have activated?
yeah.. ssh:
apt list --installed
i'd pastebin 'em
Because if @desert hawk can figure that out we can implement it into ScreenRecrordModule to fix its shortcomings
wait figure out what now? i
thought we figured out everything wanted to
minus the respring issue but i fail to see how this would help with it 🤷♂️
@umbral ingot
but yeh ill have to charge and pair a ds4 and look into this. very intetesting
@desert hawk think hes saying figure out how to add the ds4 button press to screenrecordmodule?
No the respring issue
Doh
Lemme check
Not saying you have to lol I’m just curious myself
@umbral ingot yah doesnt persist through a respring
@fleet parcel https://pastebin.com/m7eXZtE7
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
@umbral ingot actually wait, what issue are you speaking of?
Damn now im curious
Whoops @fleet parcel not nito ^^^ pastebin
But yah there is some kind of framerate issue or some weird thing if u look at my vid posts. For the ds4 recordings
@desert hawk @umbral ingot
it would ne quite strange & interesting if it survived a respring.
@jaunty rune what tvOS version are you on?
14.2
hmmm yeh the share button does literally nothing at all for me
double tap or otherwise
Only works in some apps till u tick it on in flex
and that makes even less sense
theres no reason FLEX should have any influence whatsoever
but i dont have FLEX turned on in any apps
Lol ignorance is bliss
and it still does nothig
nothing
from any app
i just pressed it like 20 times in a bunch of different apps. nada. i have no idea how that is doing anything at all for you
you just said it WOULDNT work when flex was on i thought
No
I said it automatically works in some apps. Otherwise you have to turn on the app in flex for it to work
okay that is the weirdest thing in the world
how FLEX would have ANY influence in that make zero sense
Lol couldnt begin to understand . Just know thats whats happening
@desert hawk so u got it working?
yes and yeh it only works when FLEX is enabled on any app at all for me
i think its time for you to reboot/rejb @jaunty rune
no im experiencing the same thing
oh?
and my theory is ... i dont have a theory. lol
its not FLEX being injected
its the window
explorer
whatever
and yep double tap at the end brings up AirDrop.. really fascinating
and yes the video is VERY funky, like a white overlay
@desert hawk dont know if u saw. But yah the recordings are saved in Library/ ReplayKit
@jaunty rune yeh i saw 😉
@umbral ingot @fleet parcel theres a log from replayd from triggering and stopping recording
in case you are curious
so it must have something to do w/ windowing and what is the current keyWindow that allows this to be possible
because if FLEX is injected but the explorer doesnt show yet the double tap on 'share' does nothing
@desert hawk checked again and yah i can get youtube to record without flex
Also dunno if youve noticed but the recording stops if recording hasnt been allowed in the next app
oh i didnt even check that, so yeh it definitely would have zero hope of surviving a respring in whatever they are doing

i think its time for you to reboot/rejb @jaunty rune
@fleet parcel were u speakin on the ds4 recording or respringer? U take a look at the pastebin? Any ideas?
i'll have to install and retest
okay now settings literally crashes the second flex opens its window all of a sudden
ah i think it was something i installed to introspect replayd just now
thats okay i cant go down this rabbit hole again right this moment anyways haha
haha sok
Thanks @desert hawk kinda played with this before I knew you were doing it lol 😂
Thanks for the log tho
i mean i have every weekend off they never expect me to work like i do over the weekend. i just hadnt done anything for so long i never even knew where to start. once sam got me to fix stuff in preferenceloader from there its just been a tsunami of different shit i had to fix and create and port lol
plus since the offenserati whined me off twitter it made me come back in here and be more active and that makes things easier to get motivation for different things to address and work on
nothing to be sorry bout
lol
actually just doint maintenance work trying to get some shit working. was trying to put these albums on my ipods but itunes refuses to see them.. and it gets better from there.
you CANT reinstalll iTunes for mojave
theres no individual package / download for it
F
so if something like this happens their advice is pretty much "reinstall your OS" lol
uhhh
reinstall your face!!
they got me fucked up if they think thats EVER an acceptable solution to THEIR software being broken
Remember when Apple was GOOD
distant memory
they have flashes here and there, but man they are just not the same.
i mean im finally ready to buy my first not apple laptop... EVER.
Pepperidge Farms remembers
literally ever. ive never not owned a mac anything for computers. except my apple IIe, but that was before macs existed
lofl
and it was still apple lol
Wow 😯
i honestly think im just going to create my own music app / sync for iOS devices. with blackjack & hookers
Might as well at this point
cuz goddamnit apple has sucked at it for SOOOO many years at this point
iTunes being a dumpster fire at this point
my favorite by far tho is something i have to go to get an ipod to take a picture of
i mean they DID get rid of it finally. but i dont really like it being shoehorned into finder either
Same
but i dont (and wont) have catalina on this machine
i said the same thing about high sierra -> mojave so lets see how long that lasts.
at least im forced EOL at that point since this laptop doesnt support big suck
the ONLY reason i 'want' catalina is because xcode 12 is needed for something for work
its trash
so is big sur
Plus I’m in the same boat
dude so get this
both of the private frameworks for dev tools for xcode 12 load just fine on mojave
yes BUT
i stil cant get xcode 12 to try to open
it refuses to reload launchdaemon shit
i mean
launchservices
i changed the minimum version thing AFTER opening it
so now it still has that cached somewhere
and i dont have the drive space to copy it off from the remote place im running it from cuz i dont just have 20 gigs of space lying around
Dang
especially after i just installed a new version of home diagnsostic that took up another 3 gigs
i really need a house cleaning
just buy an ssd just for newer experimental stuff and run mojave on your main
I have a spare big sur drive just because so much is broken in catalyst before big sur, so its kinda required to test anything
dark mode tho
not worth the bs that comes with it
yeah high sierra was definitely peak
HS > *
snow leopard and high sierra are the golden versions
why Steve decided to name an entire species from the zoo into an OS is beyond me
yeah that sounds cooler
seeing as Cali is capital for surfers
Oddly enough there IS big surf in Big Sur, CA

@cyan veldt why would you want to test any catalyst stuff? i wont touch that woth a trillion foot pole
funnily enough I've been writing a music/music syncing app lol
and there are only 2 ways to access apple music from macOS
with catalyst or with a wrapper around the web API
it still doesn't work very well under catalyst so I might just end up using the web API
(it's for local music + streaming)
the lengths one must go through just to enjoy content
yep
bro theres no way thats the only way lol
oh, well i'm sure you could reverse engineer it but officially there's no apple music SDK for macOS
only iOS
and not even the web API works on tvOS since they don't allow access to all the webkit stuff
@cyan veldt yeh using webkit directly on tvOS is still a mystery to me why it wont work. cuz UIWebView works fine still
but yeh any solution im talking about is mainly just for syncing to iphones and ipods more than it is playing music on my comp
yeah although using that will get your app rejected, and doesn't work anyway since it requires a popup window to authenticate
I don't understand why they can't just open up WKWebView
i only do it on ils when i have to
iOS
macOS FUCK the app store 🤣
i would never submit to that EVER
yeah computers shouldn't need app stores
it also does this/has an iOS counterpart
I use this https://github.com/jensmeder/DarkLightning
every now and then catalina decides to stop recognizing the apple tv and I have to reboot
closing all my code and rebooting instead of force quitting itunes
i dont see why you'd have to reboot when you can just killall Finder
does that kill uptime?
i dont remember. probably?
What does the USB change in Checkra1n mean for Apple TV 4k?
"Enables USB on AppleTV 4k during normal system operation"
@somber ivy typically in what is called “userland” mode (when the device is in normal operation and not recovery or DFU) USB is typically completely disabled
the comp doesnt register any device being attached at all
im guessing it fixes that, i mustve missed when we addes that 🤣
Coming soon!
Meh, inspite of the hard work with screenshots and screen recording tweaks.. I'll stick to QuickTime 😆
Understandable
this is so much more convenient, u crazy @fleet parcel
@umbral ingot got Xcode 12 TRYING to launch on mojave finally lol
had to patch minos in the binary lol
suffice it to say, this is probably not happening 🤣
died on missing frameworks
Wow 😳 nice effort tho
you guys know the equivalent of com.apple.usbptpd.plist launchdaemon on apple tv?
trying to temporarily disable usb access
@cyan veldt why would you want to do that? for that kind of system level stuff it should be the same
I want to stop the apple tv connecting until afc2 is running so I can determine if the device is running jailbroken
that launchdaemon seems to be on iOS only, can't find equivalent on apple tv
Nah, this is how I see it:
Tweaks - install, summon CC, record, summon CC, airdrop.
QuickTime - enable, record, export.
yeh i guess? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Don’t have to summon the cc for the screenshot tweak
Not my fault replay kit won’t work right without the cc
lol 😂
@umbral ingot we could totally do it without control center very easily
whatever is triggering it just needs the right entitlements etc
hmm i guess the issue ultimately is the trigger.
we really need activator for tvos 🤣
Yessir!
We do need activator for tvOS
It’s actually not hard to do it without cc
Problem is entitlements
Tried yesterday while working on this tweak
@umbral ingot thats why we’ll probably need to make some kind of invisible helper app or something that has said entitlements like Breezy... OR fake them being there like i was doing in 13.x to try and get screen record module working there.
honestly i dont think its worth the effort. holding down that button for a couple seconds to toggle a button in CC is pretty damn simple
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Imo, activator wouldn't be as efficient and would stir up more of a headache.
You know when you restore your device and you subconsciously hit the TV button thinking it'll exit the app, but instead brings you to another? That's how it'll be.
also i /think/ qt recording had stopped working for me because im in mojave on xcode 11.7. cuz screemshots did until i macromade some kext & bin upgrades
Also, it would be very limited since 75% of the tweak consists of functions that simply don't exist due to the lack of a screen
@fleet parcel i dont think the cons like that outweiugh the pros
you just arent being imaginative, which is surprising. your cursor idea (that never occured to me) made FLEX much cooler
and more functional
thats part of the fun challenge. how do we adapt these paradigms across different UI/UX/platforms
Ok fine..
the siri remote is a big bottleneck on how useful activator can be for sure
i see your points dont get me wrong
As do i yours.. I should make a poll 😆
but when the question arises how /SHOULD/ screen recording be triggered, the most obvious answer is activator
imo
its one of the last major missing pieces between tvOS and iOS right now that i can think of
Except for one other.. But there's a big ban hammer on it
whats that? @fleet parcel
Appsync
oh i mean i only dont want it on default repos. if other ppl host it i wont care or stop them
Ah, i was also going to port afc.. But i don't know if it'll be necessary
theres nothing to port at all
it works out of the box
i used to host it when app loadibg was more complicated and less figured out.
Indeed, but it injects into springboard which.. Would be pineboard? For tvOS
and had a really roundabout way to use it through apt
when does appsync inject into springboard?
thats an old relic iirc
Oh no, was talking afc
oh crap i missed where u said port afc i just saw port and assumed you said appsync
thats my bad 🤣
Ha, it's all good
Not like I’m a default guess I could host it lol just kidding
Wouldn’t do that anyhow
id also like to augment lsdtrip and airdrop to be possible to send files via CLI
@umbral ingot you do know what qs would arise if you did host it..
just dont know how i would do that yet.
That would be sweet
Yes I know
I don’t condone piracy
yeh none of us do and there are actually legit uses of AppSync. but itd be silly to say its predominate usage isnt piracy
Exactly
which is fine with me
Also i think repro is 
How tf
cant talk about applications made out of c*ke
Older iOS versions where signing can be difficult
i was talking about how i told the guys that run AC to pound sand when they asked for help
Ah
Yeah.. That repo dm-ed me to ask "How does a nitoTV repo work"
Unironically when they're hosting crap
It is, but their formatting is from tvOS 9
/var/private/mobile/root/Applications
So when ppl installed it, they complained about no app being on the home screen

@desert hawk i didn't even notice that till now...
Wearing the leo laugh sweater
Damn
lol @fleet parcel
ok new flex et al released tonight. did some final cleanup in prep for a more proper MR into the main repo.
also updated my date picker to support one more date selection mode. still dying i had to basically create one of those from scratch
but learned some really cool shit along the way so im not mad
Addilynne is now live!
Addilynne 1.0-1 now live on my #tvOS repo https://t.co/seD0DNUm38 I also fixed an issue with #MalipoTV and it is now updated 1.0.1-1. If you're wondering why I went to the install section to show my depiction of the tweak. It's because my repo was being stupid and not loading. https://t.co/FViRa3KA2d https://t.co/jR3pA9bnhv
You could remap the volume buttons
Also ordered a new Apple Remote (the silver one) gonna use it as a backup for my Siri remote
I need to get my hands on a goldeneye cable
same, i contacted JinStore but they didn't respond :|
no idea where i can get one
stuck on 14 something and getting annoying update prompts 😔
Ebay
Honestly, if you bought it in the US, it'll cost even more
Buying from China is much cheaper but you might be waiting a bit longer for shipping
@somber ivy
Yeah I know
Well not getting it now. Just bought an almost $900 server
@umbral ingot ngl, looks nice but reminds me of ethereal
@fleet parcel Is there any way to fully erase all changes made by checkra1n on tvOS?
Yes, inside the checkra1n loader
You may summon the loader by going into the control center and clicking the checkra1n logo.. Then revert bootstrap @somber ivy
I want to wipe all changes to the FS that checkra1n made
Yes. This will do that
Ok
I actually only jailbreak my iPad Pro 10.5 for ssh access
So $40 is reasonable for it?
Yeah, seeing as jin is selling them for 200 with shipping
Kinda the point since it uses Ethereal for its screensavers
@desert hawk careful... the dude inside nControl channel has piracy
@fleet parcel how do you know he just listed his os versions
Because he's got a crack tool on his home screen
oh, meh
“careful” lol 😂 . You make it sound like I will bite him. All I’m trying to do is try to support the developers and here you are contributing nothing but throwing accusations at people based on assumptions. Stop the accusations please and don’t be Karen, either contribute with something positive or leave people alone
"here you are contributing nothing" that's rich.
indeed lol
although for real you cant just assume someone stole my shit because they have piracy tools visible
he did have a point there to be fair
i didn't assume anyone stole anything
i know you didnt u just said careful
so i guess he overreacted to what you said
but either way im still gonna help the guy out, ive been mia from this shit for wayy too long im juts going to try to help anyone who asks without really caring if they stole it or not tbh
as long as they are polite
meh, it's over with but i see everyones point. It was something blown out of porportion over one comment
indeed its all good
lol man i went super over the top implementing my 1:1 date picker thing. so damn funny. it was just bothering me that it was unfinished
eventhough i only made it for FLEX
UIDatePicker for tvOS! ported from https://github.com/jruhym/datePicker - lechium/KBDatePicker
has all 4 modes now lol
shit maybe i can even focus a class around this project. how i created a missing control for tvOS based on its iOS counterpart
You straight up did! and I wouldn’t call it overreacting if someone accused me with piracy which is theft. I understand where the assumption came from but if you asked at least first before coming to the conclusion I would have answered you. Any way I’m not trying to make this go on further and no harsh feelings
Thank you for the support regardless. I have nothing but high respect for you and the work you do. That’s why I offered all of the devices that I have along with my controller to contribute to the improvement of the app. I still stand by it, just let me know what I can do to help and I will
@crude portal ty i appreciate that. sorry to call it an overeaction. really just wanted to defuse things in general.
difuse*
or whatever. afk right now then need to do some work for my job when i get back but ill look into the problems tomorrow
I understand. Thank you so much for the support and for sure you have mine when you need it just let me know
not a fan of mojave?
Mojave looks cool, but the security...
I'm thinking about upgrading my daily driver & I don't know much about the differences between HS vs Mojave.
Are security constraints a bit much in Mojave?
Well, inspite Apple's Dark mode (which is just dark grey imo) they also add more restrictions. Even if they've fixed the bugs, I find that I'm fixing more of the programs/apps that don't seem to work than enjoying the functionality and the OS experience
Some bins require fake signing which is a pita.. But Apples designed it where you can't run stuff if it's expired or unsigned
So not so easy to open apps that aren't from the app store / identified developers?
Not just that.. But you have to be verified with everything
doesn't sound too good - i do love me some unidentified developer apps
disabling SIP doesn't help or a bad idea?
Neither, it just allows you to edit the fs
oh 
thanks, I might try HS
I'd stay where I am now if it wasn't for the lack of software updates 😐
I updated hs from 0 - 3 and it screwed up a few things so far
Like airdrop used to be automatically defaulted in downloads.. Now it asks where
And notifications take 35 seconds longer to appear after the chime goes off
If that gets changed within 3 security patches.. Can't imagine how much changed in 3 major releases
mojave isnt that bad. i avoided it for a while but work requirements forced me to upgrade
my biggest annoyance are the TCC changes, everythibg that requires mic access never prompts for it properly so i have to add entries manually to get my mic working in any apps
which is incredibly frustrating
but aside from that its ok
yeh catalina and big sur are nonstarters on my daily driver
the only ways to run mojave imo is virtually
im just praying i can build the swiftui widget that requires xcode 12 once and then continue bundling it in 11.7 otherwise ill have to use my work mba to dev and that thing only has a measly 8 GB of ram. which should be illegal
its absolutely insane in 2021 that its even possible to buy a computer with less than 16 GB of ram. seriously wtf apple
especially with the 100% unecessary soldering of ram that started happening forever ago. this laptop is a crippled gimp for life because of it
i love that you can run mac apps externally
and between the utter worthless trash macOS has become and how much apple hates their customers my decision is 100% cemented to never buy a mac ever again.
@fleet parcel huh?
run them on external ssd
oh lol, that doesnt help the soldered ram issue
which is my biggest complaint, although soldering HDs is beyond disgusting too.
'tis why i never upgraded my hardware
ngl, the closer your chips get to the board, the less time data takes to travel
so as bad as it is, it's also efficient in some sense
Yeah I don't think I'm ready to completely ditch 32 bit just yet. Big Sur sounds like a real headache for a lot of people.
i just honestly dont see one single solitary thing in catalina or big sur that i see as a positive
The only thing good that catalina brought was nothing. It was a direct spin-off of Mojave with a little bit of hot garbage sprinkled in
pretty much
lol yeppp
Now, if we had devs storm the tvOS platform like people did with the capital, we'd have a much more exciting community
hahaha right
Wait this is perfect

I can try futurerestore on my atv with blobs
Cuz why not
you always could...
just not the 4k
7.6.1
did you save any?
I didn’t have blobs for a unsigned os
I got some for 7.6.1

@fleet parcel I think more than 1 os got unsigned ...
yeah, all 7.6
But 12H855 still signed?
but are you leading confidently, or bracing for change?

i don't think you got the joke.. but meh
does etasonATV not have a patchfinder or something
why does it need updates every version
?
set a nonce with what?
for aptickets
in dfu mode
if futurerestore accepted dfu mode then it would work
but in recovery mode "what=Device ApNonce does not match APTicket nonce"
@fleet parcel OMG
?
apprently 12H855 is unsigned
yup
shouldn't aaron be announcing shit like that or
7.6.1 is irrelevant ngl
oh yeah it is unsigned
I tried restoring earlier
and it failed
wdym?
since atv 3,2 can't be jailbroken without blobs
woe
and I plus I doubt anyone has blobs saved for the atv 3
@desert hawk Do we need to include TVSettingsKit in our makefiles in order for preference loader to work?
I’d assume so I always get errors when I build without it being there
@fleet parcel FUCK
I can’t set apnonce
Because mattys version uploads ibec and ibss to the device

For what device @astral marten
Atv 3,2
Bruh.. You don't need to set a nonce for the 3rd gens
Well apparently I do
This is like seetting a nonce for the iPhone 3g
Futurerestore doesn't work with legacy devices
Works with 32 bit
Those devices use a different method
Involving shsh stitching and custom ipsw restoring
It's like redsn0w
The restore would need to be patched
In order to accept a custom blob
I mean; good luck trying but you're trying to install the internet inside a jukebox
Ohh
Ok?
I have a Apple TV 2 witch is ios 6.14 witch is 5.3 Can i use this guide then https://www.iclarified.com/23808/how-to-jailbreak-your-apple-tv-2g-using-seas0npass-windows-52
@fleet parcel yeah I could use pwndfu
@analog elk there's a better one in the pins
I forgot that kdfu existed
Is it harder i never done this b4 i only hacked nintendo consoles
Honestly, the process is easy.. Just the prerequisites are difficult
@fleet parcel
But the guide i posted is only one simple tool
Nathan you to struggle with ur Apple TV to
This response tells me you did not look at the pin
Its Apple TV 2
Apple tv 2 is jailbreakable for life
Don't think Apple will be updating it any time soon
The pin has to much not sure whst to use
Although @analog elk it would be advised to invest in the modern gens of Apple tv's
Preferably 4th gen
Reason being: not much development is on the 2/3
True
Granted, there is the party.. But i still have yet to update that
But u said there is better cfw on Apple TV 2 witch one in the pin there is no 5.3 there
