So I just joined the appletv xbmc users, and while I am still reading/learning about the appletv itself and xbmc on it, I have some questions that so far I have not seen answers to or would like more details.
- ATV ram, can it be upgraded?
From what I can found, there are 2 memory slots and one is empty, but you would have to manually solder the chips on?
- HDMI audio - digital/multistream audio is a work in progress? I get hdmi audio to me tv only with analog + downmix to stereo. Not sure if its the tv or just not yet functional.
- atv video is set for 1080p, yet XBMC 'info' screen shows it running at 1280x720. Setting the video mode to 1920x1080 doesn't seem to do anything. This a user error or work in progress or the way it has to be?
- enabling the debug log, I can see it often approaching very low ram (1-6 megs free), does the macos manage the memory/cache/pagefile to prevent running completely out, or is OOM still a concern like with xbox? I haven't loaded any additional skins yet, running default pm3.hd, but I would like to run some of the newer skins if possible.
- running the default xbmc install via the patchstick/loader, I think it was 9.04. Have not loaded any svn builds, which may or may not affect any of the above questions.
