Hello all! 5 days im trying to install xbmc. I searched for the solution all over the internet. And no luck
I bought ATV2 with 4.4.2 Jailbreaked it with seasonpass. then i installed nitoTV. After i installed XBMC from nitoTV install packages list.

Also check out the FAQ: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_for_iOS_specific_FAQ
And make sure you are using a nightly build: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_on_Apple_TV_2#Installing_the_latest_nightly_build

hmmm - I thought the Cydia version would behave like that on the 4.4+ tethered jailbreaks. Still not taking that bet though.

The Cydia build is just an old nightly that was manually made before the buildbot could do iOS. It's not a stable version.

I'm aware of that. Just thought I remembered some changes after the Cydia version that were done to support the new iOS version and without those changes the system would hang. Could be my faulty memory. Either way, the two points of advice will probably fix it - update to latest nightly and blow away database if still not working.

cydia version will crash on ios > 4.2 when using hardware decoder (h.264) ... all in all ... something like that

ssh root@yourappletv ip
pw=alpine
rm -f /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Database/*db

I'm having the same issues and I just tried the link "rm -f /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Database/*db " any other options?
