The other poster was asking my ATV OS version. I'm using an old version of LS, that's for sure. However, the other poster confirmed LS 2.5 + ATV OS 2.1 works fine. Make sure you are using the PPC version. I’m not using LS 2.1. The other poster was asking my ATV OS version. I’m using an old version of LS, that’s for sure.

How can you have no audio on the PC either? Also, check the volume on LS to see if it's at maximum. Are you sure your speakers are working? How can you have no audio on the PC either?

I was able to get picture of LS but no audio at all. I tried the 2.5 version on a regular PC and not audio either. Any ideas? Hi, I followed the steps here.

I was able to make it run. I used LS 2.5. It works like a charm but I cannot change channels because I have no mouse configured. I'll fix that later. William, thanks for your support.

I read somewhere that there a bluetooth hardware in the ATV but it's not being used. That'd be a great solution to use a BT mouse/keyboard. I read that Software menu now has the option to upgrade and downgrade. I might go this route. Please tell me what version of ATV OS you have. Many thanks!

It may be a FFMpeg but mine still works fine. I haven't taken a look at downgrading (since I'm not upgraded) but I don't recommend it unless you are really really desperate to use LS ;) Didn’t you install mouse on your Apple TV?
