XBMC library view is brilliant, nice to have all my media organised into the correct order.
I've not added many plugins yet but will probably try iPlayer even though it's not really needed as I have Virgin Media V+ at home.
I'm slightly concerned that the jailbreak does not have an option to stop automatic firmware upgrades, I'll be a bit pissed off if I go to turn it on and Apple have released a new non jb version. I'll double check the menus tonight, I may have missed the option.
It does? its in the settings of the Nito TV menu
Huh...now I feel stupid.
I hadn't used xmbc since the days when it first came out, back when it was pretty basic. It's only now that you've mentioned "library view" that I realise that it's actually pretty awesome now.
Humn, time to play some more....
Without Library view it's all a bit jumbled and untidy looking. With Library view it is 100% awesome. I had wondered why you hated it so much
The menus are currently lacking the full animations found in the desktop version of XBMC but mine look fairly smooth. Are you using the official or unofficial builds?
I installed iPlayer and CatchupTV tonight, both are working perfectly.
I've been looking at these as a media player for my TV/amp set up.
Am I right in thinking I can use my iPhone/iPad to play songs/movies straight to the ATV box, which would be plugged into my amp? I wouldn't need my laptop/iTunes on too?
So my iPhone would act as the remote & media storage?
OK, so ATV can either stream your laptop's iTunes media (which has to be on), or rent movies direct from the web?
XBMC (on a JB ATV) can either stream the laptop's media, NAS drive, or direct from the web. How does it stream directly from the web? What sort of content are we talking? I'm a noob to this ATV / XBMC stuff.
Could ATV / XBMC potentially make my BT Vision redundant?
cd /Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/addons
wget http://xbmc-iplayerv2.googlecode.com/files/IPlayer-v2.3.2.zip
unzip IPlayer-v2.3.2.zip
mv IPlayer plugin.video.iplayer
rm IPlayer-v2.3.2.zip
SSH in and dump the iplayer folder into /Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/Addons
Ah nice one. Sounds good.Tv Catchup, BBC iPlayer MSN UK video, Youtube (although the ATV youtube client is better)
What's the resolution from the ATV2?, is it only 720p?
Hmmmm, would be tempted, but would have to be 1080p as thats what I currently have with the Mede8er.
