As you likely know by now, I have a multiply hacked Apple TV. I now have more main menu items on my Apple TV than I want or need. It took some digging to get to the bottom of this so I thought I would post the solution here (thanks to this post here) :
- You do need a hacked Apple TV with ssh access. Login: ssh -1 frontrow@Apple-TV.local
- Find the Finder app plugins: cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns
- Don’t delete the plugins merely rename them. For example I didn’t want the Jaman and Saphire plug in so: sudo mv Jaman.frappliance Jaman.frappliance.old (sudo password is, by default, “frontrow”)
- Relaunch Finder: killall Finder && open /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
There! Cleaned up menu items. They can easily be restored by following the same procedure and renaming the “.old” files back to their original names.
