Well, I connected a keyboard and mouse to my AppleTV and I was able to enter my email address into the Dialog Box from SlingPlayer and get past that hurdle...
Now, it connects and starts to stream and then quits back to the AppleTV UI...
 Any ideas?
I made some progress today ! Here's what I did :
- upddated NitoTV to version 0.5.7
- updated SlingPlayer to version 1.0.6 and copied the app to the AppleTV
- copied to AppleTV the 3 files : com.slingmedia.plist , com.slingmedia.setupassistant.plist , com.slingmedia.slingplayer.plist
Results:
- The app starts !
- It asks for my email adress (unfortunatly I don't have any USB keyboard and the "remote" app of the iPhone is not usable)
- I CAN SEE in the background the slingplayer window STREAMING PERFECTLY my slingbox located in France (I'm in Spain)
Downsides :
- no way to enter email or interact with the app (but I guess it could be fixed with a USB keyboard/mouse)
- the slingplayer's window uses only about 1/9th of my screen (don't know if it can be put Fullscreen or not)
- don't know how to quit without unplugging the AppleTV...
Can someone with a USB keyboard could try the various upgrade and tell us if it works ?
