And so, scant hours later, after fiddling with a bug in the ‘update-self’ routines, we have version 1.0.4. This version fixes that bug (earlier releases will not set the privileges on the built-in SetupHelper tool properly, meaning it’ll fail to install what it downloads).

I’ve also added a custom User-Agent to the HTTP headers used by the appliance when downloading items. If you want to track the number of hits you get from it, the new value is:

"Mozilla/5.0 (AppleTV; U; Intel Mac OS X; ATVLoader)"

Just filtering on ATVLoader would probably do the trick, though.

The download link and installation method, as ever, remain the same.
