    After upgrading to AppleTV 2.4 and installing Perian, I no longer can play Apple videos. The device just shows a black screen. Sometimes there is sound. Edit: found a fix from westont on AwkwardTV: Sure enough, looking in the /System/Library/QuickTime folder I found a ‘Disabled’ folder had been created. This folder contained the ‘QuickTimeH264.component’ file…

I disable motion, and launch this command on the server: vlc v4l:/dev/video0:size=640×480:channel=1:norm=ntsc:fps=12 –sout ‘#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=768,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8080}}’ -v –noaudio and this on a Linux client to test: mmsh://10.4.4.25:8081/ Then, once that is all working, I…
