XBMC on ATV2 4.4?
#1
Hello all,

It's my first post, so be kind.

I recently got Apple TV2 for my birthday for the main reason of using it for XBMC.

I then did the jailbreak on 4.3 using seas0npass untethered. Installed xbmc, and everything was working fine (except for the occasional crash).

A few days later, I was suddenly unable to view any of my movies or tv shows. The files showed, but everytime I clicked play...they would buffer then 'playback failed' would show up.

I then decided to reset the apple tv 2 in an attempt to fix this. But I then discovered that seas0npass would not allow me to use the 4.3 firmware and could only use the tethered 4.4 instead.

I did the 4.4 jailbreak with seas0npass and installed NitoTV and xbmc. But xbmc will not launch properly, and immediately returns to the Apple TV menu.

I then discovered on a few blogs that xbmc will not work on 4.4. Is this true? Can anybody help me?

Thanks

thanks! Is this in the NitoTV install software section? If so, is it easy to install? And is it stable? Sorry for being so clueless!

Follow the how to install XBMC from the FAQ thread. According to the install instructions, the nightlies are the only builds currently being supported.

There has never been a "stable" release for atv2 as the NitoTV one is just a nightly from ages ago. Instructions are here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...Apple_TV_2 I have read a thread saying that it works on 4.4 so could just be the old version that doesn't.
