First patch which enables Sapphire in Take2

[stephan]

Hi,

this is the first patch which adapts 3 files to ATV Take2 (all the stuff was taken from ATVFiles)

• Info.plist
• SapphireAppliance.{h,m}

What it does:

• add some keys to Info.plist
• changed inheritance of SapphireApplicance
• adapted to new protocol
• get around whitelist check
• removed the static bool was checked (was that necessary? why?)

Sapphire now shows up in the main menu, but crashes on startup.

HTH,
Stephan

(In [494]) Start of Take 2 update; thanks Stephan Refs #126

Somehow this part of the patch got lost in Info.plist:

<key>FRAppliancePreferedOrderValue</key>

• <integer>-1</integer>
  + <integer>2</integer>

Maybe this was by purpose, but without this, Sapphire does _not_ show up in the menu.

Cheers, Stephan

Is 2 the smallest number? We actually started using -1 for debug purposes, and it was released that way; so we might as well keep using a number which keeps it up at the top.

Replying to gbooker:

0 is also working and then it shows up after Movies.

Changes in Info.plist (PrefferedThing?=0), removed debug outputs, fixes SapphireMediaPreview? and SapphireApplicanceController? (to see this, you've to remove allImporter in SapphireApplianceController::recreateMenu)

(In [496]) Patch from Stephan again. I changed the int to a real in the info.plist and the padding was too large, so I changed it to a value that is smaller (by half), but still large enough (by examining the classdump offsets). Refs #126

To answer my previous question, after a bunch of learning how the loader works and otool, combined with the usual disassembly, 0.0 is the smallest number accepted by take 2.

Would it be possible for somebody to post a patched version ready for use for testing purposes?

Beta 6 has been released.
