Thanks a ton for posting this response. Worked like a charm of course.

Up and running and what a little machine this has proven to be ... paired with the resources of the development community that is.

I jb'ked my new ATV2 with 4.2.2, and used the wiki steps to put XBMC on it.
As expected, the installation worked, but I was not able to play mkvs or even to run some of the Video add-ons (like pelisalacarta).

Then, I did the following steps guided by Renze:
wget http://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_atv2.deb
dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock
apt-get -f install

And therefore, by getting the latest deb file, and installing seatbelunlock, now atv2 4.2.2 is running fine (mkvs and addons working fine!)

Thanks for the nightly fixes Davilla.

Regards
Luchazo

Thanks zadti2k6.. Since I was a little lost, I wanted to make sure to share that it worked to me to help someone else!
I'm glad it helped you too.
cheers!

Tested on May 7th (Git:20110507-4b18017) same problem as before.
Included some new logs and a 50MB sample.

Should also point out that the mp4’s that I am having trouble with are downloaded from bbc-iplayer via “get iplayer automator”.
Don’t have any other .mp4 from a different source to test. But I’m pretty sure that they played ok before I started running the nightly.

Platform: ATV2
iOS version: 4.1.1

Playback fine on Platform: Mac OS X (10.7.0 i386). Built on Apr 18 2011 (Git:20110418-6281a05)

Kind regards,

Just a quick follow up to see if anyone has been able to reproduce this, or maybe its a problem with my setup.
Kind regards,

someone need to ponk them about h264 video standards.

someone is also lying, mediainfo says progressive, yet the h264 sps from ffmpeg says it's interlaced.

If I have a fresh Jailbreaked device with the latest 4.3 ios do I have to install the official build first and then the nightly builds or can I just right away follow these steps ? (I guess I don't need the official one)

Code:
wget http://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_atv2.deb

dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb

apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock

apt-get -f install

thx

You can do that, but I suggest installing the official one 1st just to make it easier for everyone, since that validates you have a repo for seatbeltunlock, etc.

I have updated the 1st post with instructions finally. Thanks everyone for posting great debug logs and everyone helping each other out!

Having problems playing any music – xbmc freezes after 1s (the whole interface freezes). Pressing play again doesn't work (as per the fix above).

ATV2 4.1.1 (4.2.1)
apt-get, dpkg install
build Git:20110507-4b18017 (compiled 7 May)

xbmc.log: http://pastie.org/1915273

CrashReporter shower no crashes for the past 3 days…

Happens with all audio files in the music section.

Jayphen, what skin are you using?
With the skin I am using, called Shade, the workaround doesn't work either. Pressing play for a second time will make XBMC hang.

I have found that the following does work for me:
- Try to play the file, which won't work 'cause that's kind of the problem
- Press the round centered Enter-button for a few seconds, to enter a full screen visualization.
- Press the play button to pause
- Press the play button to start playing

Music is a known issue. I need to update the 1st post.

I've also updated the build.

just updated to latest nightly, anyone else have any issues trying to play dvd files? trying to load the ifo stutters but loading the individual vob files works just fine.

- scottjwalker - 2011-05-17

I don't know if this is meant to happen, but it wasn't like this on xbmc for mac/xbox etc etc... but if you press and hold menu on the home page, it kills xbmc.

Is this the expected outcome?

I think before it would bring up the setting menu? Or at least do the same as pressing 'S' on the keyboard.

Thanks

That's quite normal as far as I know - it's a shortcut for Quit. Smile

Keith,
You probably want to mention this new feature in latest nightly

I did wonder!

I wanted to hide the settings menu option on a skin I'm using; I used to just use the (what I now believe is) the shutdown menu to get into settings from within this particular skin.

Short story shorter, I just put settings into the favourites menu; the shortcut to quit is pretty useful afterall Wink

Yes, it has been happening to me since I started trying the nightly builds, reported here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=101073
