And that's where the AwkwardTV Loader comes in. Once you've installed it, the Loader takes care of downloading and installing other plugins. There's a video of it in action here. But how to you get AwkwardTV Loader onto your Apple TV in the first place? The plan is to use Patchstick, another AwkwardTV project that creates a bootable USB thumbdrive capable of downloading and installing plugins on an Apple TV. Otherwise, you'd need to remove the Apple TV's hard drive, connect it to a Mac (probably by temporarily fitting the drive into a USB or FireWire enclosure), installing the required software, and then refitting the drive to the Apple TV.
Engadget offers step-by-step instructions for that general process - take a look at them, and you'll see why AwkwardTV Loader is such a breakthrough. |
