This is a set of scripts to make it easier to cross-compile transmission for iOS and package it (mainly to use in Apple TV 2nd gen, but also works on iPod/iPhone/iPad as well).
If you want to compile transmission yourself, check sections Compiling and Installation.
If you just want transmission running, you have two faster options:
-
install it through Cydia/nikoTV/apt-get as the package is online in the BigBoss repository.
if you're nikoTV-less apple tv 2g, simply do:
ssh root@YOUR_APPLETV_IP apt-get update apt-get install cc.fopina.transmission -
Download the .deb file and check the Installation section.
Using the terminal (assuming you have a working installation of XCode and git):
clone this repository
git clone [email protected]:fopina/transmission-ios.git
compile transmission and dependencies
cd transmission-ios
./build.sh
create the deb file
./create_deb.sh
copy it to jailbroken AppleTV 2G (or any other iOS device)
scp transmission-VERSION.deb root@YOUR_DEVICE_IP
install it in the device
ssh root@YOUR_DEVICE_IP
dpkg -i transmission-VERSION.deb
It's done. The post installation script has set up transmission to run on boot and started it as well, so you can go straight ahead and connect to http://YOUR_DEVICE_IP:9091/ for the transmission WebUI.
Personally, regarding Apple TV usage, I like to install the XBMC Transmission plugin as well.
