ATVFiles is an AppleTV (ATV) plugin that allows the user to browse theentire ATV filesystem via the Finder and Apple Remote. This allows youto navigate to files that would not normally sync to the ATV, filesstored on a network drive or another Mac for instance. Combined with theproper codecs, ATVFiles will allow you to play any of your media. Simple file browser plugin for Apple TV Finder. Think XBMC, it can playvideo files without transcoding and syncing/streaming them. Please note that ATVFiles does not provide the codecs. Perian (http://perian.org) and A52Codec (http://trac.cod3r.com/a52codec/) are highly recommended to be installed to provide support for a wide variety of codecs. Installation 1. Copy ATVFiles.frappliance to this folder: /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns on the Apple TV. You may want to create a symlink from there to some more convenient place. 2. Restart Finder. The command killall Finder will kill it, and it will be automatically restarted. Usage Enter the new "Files" menu on the main menu. It lists files in /Users/frontrow/Movies, so mount or put your video files in that folder.
