Once again I did an:
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
and, sadly, it stopped working again.
I then did a:
apt-get remove atv-image-4.2.3-12-osmc
followed by
apt-get install --reinstall atv-image-4.2.3-7-osmc
In spite of apt complaining about some unmet dependency:
“The following packages have unmet dependencies:
atv-kernel-osmc : Depends: atv-image-4.2.3-12-osmc but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).”
If Sam, or any other dev, wants to have a look, just PM me with your ssh public keys and I’ll set you up with remote access to the box; so you can have a proper look around.
I did. And it did update to 4.2.3.-12 without any errors. It did, however, make no difference, still not working.
I am going to go back to 4.2.3-7 in the morning and then enable debugging from the GUI. I will then post the working and not working logs one more time. Hopefully the debugging being turned on will make a difference.
Thanks for you reply…I’ve seen this but I’m still not sure how to SSH as the Apple TV just stops at Sadface and I’m not able to find the IP address of the device. I’m using a Mac and my device is connected to my network via ethernet.
Your router webconfiguration page should contain the ability to see all devices and their IP addresses. You’ll have to figure out which device is the one you are looking for.
Alternatively, type arp -a into Terminal on your Mac and you’ll see a response that lists all known devices on your LAN. Again, determining which is the ATV is up to you.
