for those who wants to know if kodi is installing

[windr00]

Jailbreak first

Of course.

ssh in to your Apple TV

• check your Apple TV's IP address from your router, or from the Settings app on the Apple TV.
• use Terminal on your Mac to log into your apple tv with ssh root@ip_address, the default passwd is 'alpine'

check if apt-get is installing kodi

• run ps -ef and look for apt-get -y --force-yes install org.xbmc.kodi-atv2, this is the apt package manager trying to install kodi, if you didn't find this you can always run this command by yourself.

• run ls -hl private/var/cache/apt/archives/partial to check download progress, the final file size should be somewhere between 35MB.

install by dpkg

• if the download is too slow, you can try download the file from here, and install it with dpkg -i, but there should be some other dependend debs which you need to download yourself.

notes

• I personally have trouble getting this tool to work on M1 Macs.
• the commands above, except the dpkg ones, are tested on jailbroken AppleTV3,2 A1469.
• for someone experiencing endless recovery mode with the A1469: I tried a clean resotre from Finder on my MacBook Pro 2015 (macOS Monterey 12.0.1) before jailbreaking. Once done, I unplugged the power and usb cable, reconnected power with hdmi, everything works afterwards
• Hope It Helps

Hi, I download the installation file manually and put it at private/var/cache/apt/archives/partial, then I use dpkg -i to install it, the command execution is as follows:

Apple-TV:/private/var/cache/apt/archives/partial root# dpkg -I org.xbmc.kodi-atv2_14.2-0_iphoneos-arm.deb

It looks like it is installed but I could not find kodi in Apple TV. Do you know what is the problem?
