bono Wrote:I am a total beginner in this world. I have managed to Install XBMC on my ATV2. However my ATV is running the latest version of iOS and XBMC does not function very well with HD video on this iOS version. I really would like to try this build. I have read Keith's initial post (and every other post in this thread). I understand that Keith does not want me to try this build. But I would still like to try it (and will of course take full responsibility).
Could any one else please advise me on how to install this build? I have tried to decipher the instructions from my original installation of XBMC with the ambition to adjust them to this build. But I have not succeeded.
Any one? Please.
Update: I didn't see the previous post. Is it the same procedure if you have the official build installed (and not a previous version of Keith's build)
No.
And I will delete any more posts that ask. If you are unable to search to gain this knowledge (which is all over this sub-forum) than you shouldn't be on this build, plain and simple.
If you didn't save SHSH blobs like you were instructed too so you can't downgrade, I don't know what to tell you.
Please, have a little respect. When someone explicitly states 'don't use this if you don't know what you're doing' it's usually for a reason, here it's because if you do run into problems, I don't want those issues to taint your view of a very early port to a new ARCHITECTURE AND platform. Also nobody likes spoon feeding people.
Imagine trying to fit a tank engine into a Mini Cooper and that's similar to the amount of work that's been put into this port, going from 'big iron' platforms like x86 to embedded processors like ARM.
Remember guys, this port is LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD. Davilla started it in November and brought it to the public eye in January! It's incredible how far it's gotten, but don't forget perfection takes time. There's no shortcuts for stuff like this. (But donating does help spend less money on hardware and more for caffeine to fuel those late nights)
XBMC surely wants to continue doing ports like this 'in the public' but if it becomes more of a hassle than a reward to do it, they might re-consider this decision if the forums are polluted with people who don't know what they're doing trying to use it and not contributing valid issues...
