hi all,
I already have built a HTPC (with xbmc) and a file server for my home theater (with projector) set up that I'm very happy with. I'm now moving to the next project, that is, using Ipod Touch 4G as a media player for a 42" Plasma (720p) to occasionally play video/youtube. I don't want to dedicate a full PC for this purpose, hence my questions:
1) a quick search on this forum suggested that xbmc should work with Ipod Touch 4G, can anyone please confirm.
2) if the answer to 1) is true, will the HDMI converter available on apple's website transmit both video and audio?
3) can xbmc build for iOS read a samba share for video streaming (wireless, of course).
any clarification is very much appreciated,
ps. I'm aware of the fact that the ipod touch needs to be JB'ed.
