You only need to upgrade if you have a specific reason to... as I mentioned a couple posts ago. The fact that you're asking if you need to upgrade tells me that you don't need to upgrade.

If you do upgrade to the unofficial nightly build, make sure to keep up with new releases since things are being fixed regularly. Here's a summary of the commands to run:
- ssh to your atv2 as root
- cd /tmp
- wget http://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_atv2.deb
- dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb
- rm latest_atv2.deb
Thank you!

1) For you to be able to use many ADDONs (aka Plug-ins) you should install the NIGHTLY BUILD, which is highly compatable with the latest version of IOS 4.3 for the ATV2. There are a few interesting ADDON that help get more out of XBMC.
2) If you are fully functional after testing many functions, then just keep using the current OFFICIAL RELEASE. Also, if you have to ask someone else if you should, then you SHOULD NOT, as you do not know why you would need to, so dont.

Please help me. I just did a fresh install of iOS 4.3, I then proceeded to jailbreak it. I then ssh into the ATV. I then entered the following:
cd /tmp
wget http://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_ios.deb
dpkg -i latest_ios.deb
rm latest_ios.deb
i get an error saying it can't be installed. Any ideas?
Here is a screenshot of the error I get:
cd /tmp
wget http://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_ios.deb
dpkg -i latest_ios.deb
rm latest_ios.deb
i get an error saying it can't be installed. Any ideas?

You want the atv2 package not the ios one.
Download and install this instead: http://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_atv2.deb

You should be updated
Regards,
The url to the latest build doesn't work now. Is there any other place to find it?

Hi. This is probably a n00b question/problem. I just installed the nightly build over my existing stable release so that I could get the Crackle and ESPN3 addons to work. Before the nightly build, the addons would launch, but then XBMC would crash when I tried to play a video. Now, all of the addons won't start at all. Can anyone help?
EDIT: I restarted XBMC and the addons now work for the most part.

"Darwin" is iOS system stuff, unrelated to updating XBMC.
If you are on a recent nightly or official build then you are using the pre-Eden repo, which is only listing Skins that are known to be working with that code (there's some major changes going on right now with skin APIs).
