[PROJECT] Volumio 2.411 for AppleTV 1st generation (discontinued)

Volumio is a free and Open Source Linux Distribution, designed and fine-tuned exclusively for music playback. It runs on a variety of devices, typically small and cheap computers like the Raspberry PI, but also on low power PCs, notebooks or thin clients.

This is an unofficial port for the AppleTV 1st generation.

By flashing (installing) Volumio on any of this platforms, it will then become an headless Audiophile Music Player. Headless means that the only  way to control it will be with another Mobile phone, computer or tablet.

This is made possible by Volumio’s UI: a web applications that runs on any device with a browser, and that allows an easy and intuitive control of your playback sessions. All communications between the webapp and Volumio will happen through your home network.

  1. I’ve been searching the whole web for the Apple TV gen 1 image of Volumio. would you mind sharing it again, please?

  2. Hi,

    exciting! I would like to replace Kodi/OpenElec on my old Apple TV 1st Gen with Volumio. I’ll try your port!

    Can you advise in advance, please, if sound output via HDMI will work? Will an attached TV (HDMI) display anything? And for playback via DLNA/UPnP: Can you recommend an app for IOS, please?

    Kind regards,
    Christoph

    1. Hi,
      I never use HDMI audio output because Volumio interface has been disabled in this porting. If you want I’ll give you instructions for re-enable video output. Please open a request on Volumio forum.
      DLNA app for streaming media files from IOS to Volumio: AllConnect, AirWire, AllCast, iMediaShare.

      Bye.
