Joost/Apple TV Follow-up

I've got Firefox, VLC etc working on my Apple TV but there is an issue with Joost.

When Joost is started it go's into a never ending "Download Channels" phase. (I don't think it is doing anything but that is what is visible on the screen)

If Joost is started with the following command:
/Applications/Joost.app/Contents/Resources/Joost.app/Contents/MacOS/xulrunner

It reveals the following error :

2007-06-19 16:20:26.269 Joost[374] *** NSThread: ignoring exception 'launch path not accessible' that raised during delayed perform of target 0x35e0e0 and selector '_didCloseFile:'

Does anyone has an idea about this ?

Thanks.


By the way; I'm using Synergy instead of VNC to have mouse and keyboard control on the aTV. (synergy2.sourceforge.net)

I've been trying hard to get Joost up and running on my AppleTV - no luck so far - it just hangs up on the channel download screen - even though the progress bar completes - grr... CenterStage works .. The Ninja site isn't that descriptive about the process! (I've got very familiar with the terminal app though...)

I have a project that I would like to incorporate Joost into.

Could anyone be kind enough to help and send an invite to

j_mowry@hotmail.com

I would love a joost invite as well. Email centro@mac.com

Funny hacking but Joost sucks. It's a video GUI slapped on top of Kazaa. It offers no true streaming, no random access to titles, no live tv streams: just P2P downloads - low res so the titles can at least start in time. P2P is a network hog. No quality of service whatsoever. And the most disappointing part: it isn't open! You can't just launch your own Joost channel. Why not!!??

Apple TV does offer open channels: put your titles on a webserver, build a RSS feed. Voila: your TV channel for Apple TV is ready. Saw it demonstrated at www.streamzilla.eu, they have a sample RSS.

I'd like to see 2 additions to Apple TV, instead of apps like Joost:

- RTSP streaming: so you can stream VOD and live channels directly to Apple TV! Come on Apple, you've got this great QuickTime Streaming Server... Apple TV has QuickTime in it, which can play RTSP streams. Use it!

- RSS directories: so you can subscribe directly to RSS feeds from Apple TV and put these in categories. This way, any can build their personal TV channel guide.

I can confirm that the latest 0.9 RC3 release works fine with the Apple Remote. You can browse the channels, play/pause and control the volume with it.

I managed to integrate Joost into my Mythtv Menu on a Mac. More here: http://www.meckimac.com/drupal/node/39
