Hmm.. download link doesn’t work. Nor does DW’s. Having said that, I checked the Adobe site and the 1st gen Apple TV doesn’t meet the requirements for the most recent version of Flash anyway.

I’m wondering what the highest version I can use on a 1st gen Apple TV is and where can I find it?

so the .lzma archive stays uncompressed, and the .xpt is only read by firefox, how do we can decompress the .lzma archive?

the download URL in the article doesn’t seem to be responding. So if you have any trouble try this

Your directions seem to work fine, but i want to know how to get the 10.1 or 10.2 beta installed on my ATV? I tried to manually upload the image and extract it… this was the output:
pax: Could not set permissions on .
pax: Access/modification time set failed on: .
pax: Could not create: ./Internet Plug-Ins
pax: Unable to create ./Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin.lzma
pax: Unable to create ./Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt
pax: Could not set permissions on .
pax: Access/modification time set failed on: .
