jadoogar,
to install on ipad:
1. Jailbreak ipad, install openssh
2. download the nightly build from the link at the start of this thread
3. copy the "latest_ios.deb" file to ipad via scp/sftp
4. ssh to ipad and install with dpkg -i <filename>
5. I found that i needed to restart my ipad; otherwise xbmc was crashing (this might be unique to me tho)
this link might help
BTW ALL - I'm running the build from 17/4 on ipad 1 4.3.2.
This is working really well. I've noticed that HD (720 & 1080) x.264 content plays flawlessly, over wifi to smb share, and rar'd content is fine.
And, i can stream live TV from my xbmc box in the theatre room, which is running tvheadend - so i now have live TV channels on ipad which is just way cool!
Non-x.264 HD content stutters. Someone smarter than me here might be able to explain if this is a hardware limitation, or something we might see improved in future releases?
Thanks all, xbmc continues to push the boundaries of what's possible with media consumption!
