A post was merged into an existing topic: Kodi crashing with Sad Face after updating to Jarvis
Okay I did away with the usb install and I did the hdd install on a 40gb hdd in my ATV1 and then I updated and everything is running good except one thing which Iāve seen on multiple devices and after a few days it seems to resolve it self. I donāt know why and I thought Iād ask just in case anybody else has seen this. When I go into an add-on and click on most popular it spins āworkingā half a turn and then nothing, other than that OSMC HDD install running Jarvis seems to be really nice. I also wanted to say I appreciate everything you guys do for us and apologies for the āDUHā comment. I wasnāt trying to be an arse but I forget how text sometimes comes off when there is no inflection to the words. I also wanted to admit that I didnāt understand how the installer worked. I kept looking for the ATV1 installer under downloads. Maybe you guys can add a note in the downloads section that gives a brief but informative explanation on how the installer works. I looked everywhere and finally found it written in the forums. I just saying if in the downloads area it said the USB stick is created on your computer so download the OSMC installer for your OS and then create the USB installer for your device. I may just think to much inside the box but I kept thinking the downloads area was directing me to download OSMC for either Windows or for OSX or for Linux meaning download the OSMC install for you OS not download the installer for your OS. Just a thought. I would click on the installer and stop it b/c I thought it was going to try and install OSMC on my Windows 10 machine. I know Iām an idiot but it had been a while since Iād installed CB so I got a bit confused. After I figured it out I felt like a complete jackleg but all is well now.
Cheers!
Great to hear ! 
As for some install docs, Thatās something I plan to do (in addition to a Putty tutorial).
I suspected that some people may make the wrong assumptions and overlook how simple the install actually is.
The fact that the installer is the same for all platforms can make it confusing when you are installing on the ATV, especially when you see that menu. which is ghosted out/disabled for the ATV, part way through.
Unfortunately real life has got a hold of me right now, so it may be short while.
Itāll happen though. 
FYI: Putty tutorial is now posted in the wiki.
Hi Sam,
Can some one help me out please. .
i tried doing hdd install on USB after plugging usb to apple tv
Used this file visa image to load to the installer
OSMC_TGT_appletv_20160130-HDD.img
AFter installing connected usb to apple tv
and got same error messager
Please help any help would be highly appreciated
@felsandric so what happen if you "remove USB stick unplug the Apple TV. Wait 10 seconds and plug the Apple TV in again?
how to set the original image 1 Apple TV?
Im assuming you have already thoroughly gone through all the tricks / hints with USB sticks compatible ones and if you have tried other versions of the image as well. I can tell you all the steps that I took for mine was the ONLY way it could work. Im not sure I have ever agreed with the 10sec part. I have issues with Kodi where if its freezes and I donāt unplug it for more than 30sec to a min. it will give me a AppleTV ? icon.
- i would try a different USB stick possibly.
- or use the USB image to get it to load / boot then copy the HDD image onto that I mentioned earlier in the post.
- I know Sam said what I did is overly complicated, but I could NOT get it to work otherwise with the hardware / tools that I had available. Sorry if this is not helpful, but maybe it gives you some ideas.
Iām pretty sure the USB version is for installing OSMC on a hard drive, with a flash drive being the OS installation disk.
USB is for installing on USB
HDD is for installing on HDD
So, the HDD option makes the flash drive the install media for the hard drive?
Update: I just noticed the qt_host_installer no longer has USB and HDD options.
Yes
The installer does have HDD and USB options here, just select the correct image with either HDD or USB extension
Hi, just for memoriez.
I spent 2 days of trying to reinstall OSMC on ATV1 HDD.
Everytime installation have been performed onto USB (although OSMC image was for HDD), but not on HDD.
Changing USB flashcard to 2Gb (earlier was 32Gb) installation finally done in 5 min.
So, good to have ATV1 live again (well not for media purposes, for tests and file store).
Thanks, Sam, et all.
