Please provide any additional information below.

Apple-TV:~ root# keyboardd launch_msg("CheckIn") IPC failure: 1BTdaemon started - stdout BTdaemon started - stderr Starting BTstack BTstack working

Assuming btstack is not yet updated to support the firmware 5.0 jailbreak. Just wondering if any support for the latest ATV jailbreak is in the works. If and when it becomes available, any instruction on how to update via Terminal would be greatly appreciated. (I'm thinking:

apt-get update
apt-get install org.tomcool.btstack-ui
killall AppleTV 

might do the trick?)

I'm not very familiar with unix commands as of yet.

Please ask TomCool for updates on the UI. I have no idea about ATV programming.

I will inquire with tomcool later today and post an update as soon as I have more information. Thank you for you quick response.

Warm Regards, JGN

Are you sure you are running 5.0? There is untethered jailbreak for 5.0. 5.1 is tethered so far.

I run AppleTV2,1, Version 5.0.1 (Build 9A406a) untethered, no issues.

even a command line version would be acceptable matthias if you could get it to work on 5.0 as I have the exact same problem on 5.0 tethered jailbreak and would love even a cli version to hold me over until the ui is updated if it ever is.

While you're waiting for an update from TomCool... if you'd like to configure your BT keyboard to use with ATV:

ssh into your ATV, ensure your keyboard is discoverable (for an Apple TV keyboard, hold down the power button until the green light is blinking) and run "keyboard-config" from the prompt.

BTstack will start and it will look for devices, print the device addresses, and exit. It will tell you to run keyboard-config again with the address of the BT keyboard. Do this. It will ask you to type "0000" and once you do that... everything will be paired.

Running keyboardd to pair the keyboard didn't work for me... but this did. I attach a screenshot to help you out.

Best of luck, Mike.

LOL - I totally forgot about the command line helper tool. Thanks for the hint!

Thanks so much ! I've been searching for this for several hours...

OK, I'm running 5.0.2 (4250) and when I run the command line helper, BTstack will start, but when it tells me to enter the device address and tells me to pair the device by typing '0000' I get nothing. I type 0000 on the keyboard, but terminal never returns. It just sits there. I can't exit, end, stop, or anything. I have to close terminal to get it to quit.

Any ideas?

Theoretically, should 5.0.2 still support BTstack?

Be sure to press the "return" or "enter" key after typing "0000" on your bluetooth keyboard to complete the pairing process.
