Sudo rm -rf /Volumes/Media/.Spotlight-V100 Sudo rm -rf /Volumes/OSBoot/.Spotlight-V100 But be careful, this is the dreaded rm -rf command, which has the potential to ruin everything. Spotlight files, use the following command to remove them. Spotlight files are on the partitions by typing: Now copy the new one from our downloads directory to the Apple TV drive:Ĭp /Users/Engadget/Downloads/ssh.plist /Volumes/OSBoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/īefore we dismount the drive to reinstall into the Apple TV, let us see if we need to clean up after Spotlight again.

AC3 CODEC APPLE HOW TO
Thankfully, that's no longer the case, and we want to show you how to get the most out of your Apple TV. Something as simple as getting your Apple TV to, say, sync and recognize your XviD movies as playable was no simple feat. These issues were resolved almost immediately after the Apple TV was released, although the hacks were somewhat less than practical. The two biggest Apple TV limitations are the lack of codec support (like XviD, DivX, etc.) and not even having the ability to do basic surround sound like Dolby Digital 5.1.
