Espresso is an Apple TV 5.0+ custom plugin loading solution. It will load frappliances and do the necessary heavy lifting to get them into the new menu system.

Espresso is not meant as a replacement for Dustin Howett’s beigelist. It exists only in source code form for educational and historical reasons. Code from Espresso is currently being used in the latest version of aTV Flash by FireCore, LLC.

Exposed is a VNC server for the Apple TV 2G+ user interface. It relies on libvncserver to do most of the heavy lifting. Exposed attempts to use IOSurface’s to get your screen data, but this requires that your Apple TV be connected to a TV via HDMI. If no IOSurface’s are found, Exposed will use a fallback method which still works but lacks certain graphical effects and animations.

Exposed is currently being used in the latest version of the Apple TV Jailbreak Seas0nPass developed by Kevin Bradley for FireCore, LLC.

Couch Surfer is a native web browser for the Apple TV written using the WebKit rendering engine. You can scroll through web pages and interact with them. It also supports web plugins like flash.

I started Couch Surfer as a hobby project and has since been obtained by the good people at FireCore, LLC. They still provide a free version for download.

SkypeTV is an Apple TV front end for the Mac version of the Skype Application. It uses Skype’s powerful and well documented API to obtain information, set preferences, make calls, ect.

The current version is really outdated and will only run on an Apple TV 1G with the 1.1 firmware. This remains here for historical reasons. I am currently working on a firmware compatibility update that will also include video support via usb webcam.

Mac OS X kernel extension for emulating HID command reports sent by an Apple Remote. This gives you the ability to control your Mac or Apple TV (1G) via sysctl variable.
