I currently am running CouchSurfer (formally SafariHD) on Take 2. The browser works great but when trying hulu.com, it requires a flash plug-in. I cannot download it directly to the ATV. I've tried copying plug-ins from my mac to the ATV in hopes that would work (Flash 9 installed). No luck, just a ?plugin puzzle piece. I'm not sure if the problem is couchsurfer requires flash 8 or if I'm copying the wrong files? Any help would be appreciated.

How do you copy the files to the AppleTV's hard drive?

Can you help with installation instructions using Fugu via ssh? I choose create new ssh tunnel from the ssh menu. What do I fill in in all those fields?

It depends on your settings. First you need to have installed ssh to the AppleTV. Then I enter AppleTV.local, the password is frontrow and force -1 ssh.

Look at this website

Well, the ATV isn't "unlocked" (as ATV's are not locked to begin with). I have modded my ATV to do things that you can't do "out of the box" (couch surfer is not an Apple program but it works just fine). See the website I linked in my last post for more information. But if anyone has info about my original question, I would love to hear answers.

What files have you tried copying?

I've tried coping HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder (which has "Flash Player.plugin" and "flashplayer.xpt") to the corresponding library folder as well as my ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder to that corresponding folder in the ATV. All I get is a plug-in ? puzzle piece alerting me that the plug-in is not working correctly. I can't download it from the web browser and I can't think of anything else which would contain that plug-in file.
 
I've answered my own question. They updated the plug-in site on awkwardtv.org to reflect that you need new frameworks on 10.4. Check here at the bottom of the page.
