How can I get a screenshot of what's on my AppleTV?
Preferably Wirelessly. Any apps for that?
Obviously I'm talking about the more recent iOS powered little black box AppleTV, not the original model.
As far as I know AppleTV has no capabilities for this. What I've done is simply to take a photo of the TV screen.
After some quick Googling I found these steps:
- Jailbreak
- Install aTV Flash (black)
- Install nitoTV
- Install 'screencapture' (through nitoTV)
- SSH in:
ssh [email protected]
(orssh root@ipaddress
, e.g.ssh [email protected]
) - At this point typing in
screencapture
SHOULD save Screenshot.png to root. If it does not you may need to change ownership on root via: chown mobile:staff ./
Obviously less than ideal, but possible.
