OK... I switched from XBOX to Apple TV to run XBMC.
a few questions: I am currently using version 9.04.01
I tried using beta 9.11 (beta2) but I found it blew out my library and there are some issues with it. Also I want to use the beautiful Mediastream skin and it doesnt' seem to be in 9.11.
with 9.04.01 the scraping is poor (doesn't always get movie posters from MOVIEPOSTERDB). No movie actors are scraped, nor are there movie trailers.
I use the Mediastream skin which is amazing.
My questions are:
* for this windows user I used to be able to ftp into my xbox and add skins, modify library and so on... Can I do that with Apple TV? How and where is a link to do this? I need a step-by-step instruction for a Windows user.
* Is there a way to get a newer build on Apple TV outside of using the Apple TV download app option?
So far I've been frustrated by the answers from others about this.
* Am I stuck with this version until another gets released?
* Will the Download Application in Apple TV update when a new release is released?
Please don't flame if I've missed a post here. I've looked and haven't found any that were helpful. Any links to instructions would be helpful too.
To sum up: I'd like to have a version of XBMC that uses Mediastream, has trailers and Movieposterdb scraping, actor scraping on Apple TV.
Thanks from a long-time XBMC user.
