We hardly see as a lot love for jailbroken Apple TVs as we see for jailbroken iPhones and iPads, however an upcoming venture dubbed Spartan is drumming up some consideration after being touted as “the primary tvOS file browser” in a put up shared on /r/jailbreak.
Spartan seems to be a piece in progress, however it’s going to be a robust SwiftUI-based approach to work together with locally-stored recordsdata on supported Apple TVs operating tvOS 14.0 and later. Help for tvOS 13.0 and later might come at a later date.
As proven within the screenshot examples above, customers cannot solely browse their system, however batch-select recordsdata, view completely different sorts of media, see details about completely different recordsdata, and even open .plist recordsdata.
Citing the venture’s GitHub web page, Spartan is at present able to the next sorts of actions on appropriate Apple TVs:
– Browse file listing
– View and edit textual content recordsdata
– Watch movies
– Play audio (and consider metadata)
– Create folders
– Create recordsdata
– Save folders or recordsdata to Favorites
– Get information a few file
– Rename a file
– Transfer a file or recordsdata to Trash (or if in Trash, delete them)
– Transfer a file or recordsdata to a given listing (if a single file, you possibly can rename it)
– Copy a file to a brand new file path (and optionally, rename it)
– View photographs
– View plist recordsdata (each xml and bplist)
– //BROKEN Execute binaries
– Compress and uncompress .zip archives
– Search a listing and its subdirectories for a file or listing
Sooner or later, the developer plans so as to add the next options:
– Don’t assume a file path is a listing in ContentView (you possibly can specify a file path to a non-folder and it’ll open the right view) (it will most likely by no means occur)
– Add information to ImageView and VideoPlayerView
– Plist editor
– Spawn binaries
– Root helper
– And extra…
Spartan is able to be examined by anybody who needs to strive it out. It will require compiling the venture in Xcode 14.3 or newer.
