Remove ANY icon from main menu (MLB, WSJ, Flickr)
I Have been looking for a solution to remove MLB, WSJ and Flickr from the home screen for a long time..
But I think I found it! I only did this on iOS 5.0 (4099) but Its possible that this also works on 4.X Firmwares..
- Step 1
On your AppleTV go to Settings and enable Parental Controls now you can hide things like Vimeo but not MLB or so..
- Step 2
SSH into your AppleTV and browse to: /User/Library/Preferences/
Open "com.apple.frontrow.plist"
- Step 3
Modify the plist to remove the apps you dont use..
0 = Enabled
1 = Hidden
so with MLB it will look something like this:
<dict>
<key>BRParentalControlAccessMode</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>BRParentalControlCategory</key>
<string>com.apple.frontrow.appliance.internet.flagstaff</string>
</dict>
* Flagstaff = MLB !!
and with WSJ like this:
<dict>
<key>BRParentalControlAccessMode</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>BRParentalControlCategory</key>
<string>com.apple.frontrow.appliance.internet.wsj</string>
</dict>
and so on..
- Step 4
Save the file and relaunch your AppleTV and see that the icons are gone!!!
I can make a package and send it to NitoTV..
But I rather have it in maintenance settings!
Also if I make a package it will just remove those apps,
no UI or settings to configure.. Because I have no experience with AppleTV
So lets keep this on the first page, till somebody notices ;)
"What do you mean with OPEN?"
I mean, open/modify/copy to computer..
If you dont have a clue how, i would recomment waiting on Firecore!
But you can try "plist edit pro" on google..
"There is no vi and it's a binary file..."
And should mean..? :)
What do you mean with OPEN?
There is no vi and it's a binary file...
You need to SFTP the file back to your computer. I assume you're using OSX.
God I wished there was an easier way. Can't this option be built into aTV Flash...or nito?
Thanks!
