Effectively immediately, we offer Bruno Keymolen’s MediCloud plugin in our Update 3.0.2h.
This plugin allows you stream your videos to your AppleTv via UPnP. - Enjoy !
We are proud to announce that the ATV 2G version of our twitter client for AppleTV, aTVitter is finally available for our customers.
At this time, some functions are not available yet, therefore the software was released as a beta version. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Installation instructions and details about the plugin are available here.
Our newest plugin to manage ATV 2G apps, Installer, is finally here ! We hope you enjoy to use it.
Thanks for your patience and support !
Here’s another update on Installer - and we have some good news:
We know you guys are very impatient and want to play with your AppleTV, and we want to make sure everything works the way it should. We are finishing up some last minute changes and enhancements and are very excited about our newest product.
We have good news for PayPal customers - you guys can already start maintaining your Installer accounts. Check the details here. Account maintenance for our Alertpay customers will be available shortly. We will notify you via twitter.
We are currently finishing up the development and testing of Installer. We might have to postpone the delivery of the software by a few days due to some last minute roadblocks.
We are confident to solve these issues quickly and are working hard to release Installer asap. However we prefer to release a working piece of software rather than selling beta software. So we ask you for a bit more of your patience. We promise, you won’t be disappointed.
We currently do NOT provide an own jailbreak tool yet. Therefore you will have to jailbreak your AppleTV yourself - you can use these instructions.
For now we decided to focus on more important aspects such as usability and new plugins. We will provide an appropriately integrated solution at a later point in time.
It took us a bit longer than expected, but here we are with a preview of our first product for AppleTV 2G ! Installer is currently being tested thoroughly to ensure we don’t have to sell Beta-software like others do ;-)
Once we start selling Installer, it will be fully functional, and we will keep adding functionality to it constantly.
Our Installer for AppleTV 2G will soon be available at patchstick.ca and will allow you to maintain 3rd party plugins with the click of your remote. Many other goodies will be included, so keep following us on twitter.
We are thinking about offering a reduced pre-order price for Installer, let us know what you think about it.
Many of you probably checked the greenpois0n website frantically on the weekend, trying to download the jailbreak tool for AppleTV that was announced by the chronicdev team.
Dramatic events happened with Geohot alias Gerge Hotz finally releasing his jailbreak tool limera1n, causing greenpois0n to be delayed and AppleTV fans being sad and mad…
Although limera1n will technically jailbreak your AppleTV, you won’t be able to install any kind of apps (they are still being worked on), nor access the file system via afc or ssh connection. greenpois0n is supposedly including ssh support to remotely login to a jailbroken AppleTV.
A pretty good summary about all the events from last weekend can be found here.
As you probably all know by now, the new AppleTV has been jailbroken, and the whole community is busy trying to figure out how to port existing plugins to the new AppleTV and develop new plugins for it.
We are no stranger to that and are of course doing our share 
While we work on a new product for the black AppleTV, we will of course continue to support the first version of AppleTV and offer new plugins for it. Development is already on its way, and you will be surprised what your AppleTV will be capable of…
As for the new product, we don’t have a time line yet. We rather do it right in the first place than rushing – developing a good product takes time, so we ask you to be patient with us. We are still debating if there will be a beta phase or not.
We also don’t have a name yet and are open for ideas – send us your suggestions via twitter. If we choose the name suggested by you, you will receive a free lifetime license of our new product. We are sure you can come up with something better than “patchstick black”…
