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.
I used
apt-get install com.whatanutbar.exposed
after jailbreaking my ATV 2 a while ago to install a VNC server on my ATV for education reason (doing screenshots for documentation) The version can still be installed at iOS 5.1 but won't work any longer. Any idea what I can do. I am a Firecore customer, love the product but every now and then I need screenshots without any aTV Flash stuff on it ,-)
Any help would really be appreciated, volkspost

Hey volkspost, any version of Exposed < 0.7 won't work properly on 5.0/5.1+. Try doing "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade". If not, you can always install 0.7 manually.

Hi!
The VNC works great, but since v5 there's no UI (vnc settings) to modify vnc password or stop the service.
Do you happen to know how to achieve this via console? I've been googling for hours and I haven't been able to find anything :S
Thank!

Hey Victor, there is a preference file located at /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.whatanutbar.Exposed.plist. you can change what you need to with a command line text editor then do "killall AppleTV" to restart everything and make your changes active.

Hi, the linked tar file contains only a README, plist and dylib file. Would you be so kind as to post the full version? Thanks!

Update: I was able to get it working by installing 0.7.1 from nitoTV, then adding the 0.8.2 files following your directions here: http://brandon-holland.com/exposed-0-7spider-kitten-release/
Thanks, this is fantastic. A suggestion, if I may: you might consider adding simple setup instructions on the main page.
Thanks Again.

Hey Anon. Glad you figured it out :) Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I do need instructions, but I just haven't had the time lately. So many things on the back burner right now.
