#2 Sweet, I'd like to see someone do this. Not for any particular reason, but it would be cool.

#3 Hehe, wow, nice.

Any chance you can get a crashlog & a stack dump out of the thing?

#5 I know this is stupid to pursue, but anyway, I discovered the font problem -- apparently the appleTV doesn't have Arial, Helvetica, or any other standard font installed.

Once I installed the expected fonts, it still crashes. My guess is that Carbon on the appleTV is incomplete -- why would they need a full implementation of Carbon on the thing, anyway? But I need to look into MacCarbFont::create and see what it's up to.

#6 I had the same crash on my powerbook (PPC).

I think it comes from the font too, because of the 'GFont::create' crash error.

But in fact, it was coming from a missing 'GuiDefaultProfile' in my 'client/ui/customProfiles.cs'.

If you redefine your own interface, be sure to redefine first the 'GuiDefaultProfile' in your file, because every other GUI definition refers to it.

It was crashing this way with TGE 1.42 and 1.5.0 (didn't test with 1.5.1)

Hope this will help you (and us then :-) )

#7 Interesting. I was just thinking of this very thing a few days ago with either TGE or TGB.
