Hi there from Germany (and sorry for my bad English in advance)...
I bought my ATV2 about 2 weeks ago, did the jailbreak with Seas0nPass and first installed the official version of XBMC. But that didn't work because of the actual firmware (no stream, no file was played at all).
Notice: I stream most of the content from my NAS using SMB.
So I installed a nightly build (June 14th version) and later updated it with the version of June 18th.
First of all the navigation/skin looks great. But i'm having some issues with the nightly builds:
- most of the addons are marked as broken.
- every once in a while XBMC crashes, even if i don't do anything (returns to apple screen)...
- audio files are paused at the first second of playback. i have to go to the left menu, hit the pause button and then the play button to start playback. once the playback has started i can play another song by just clicking on it
- the play/pause button causes freezes of the ATV2 sometimes while audio playback, I have to disconnect the ATV2 from power then and have to restart all
- HD video files are playing very poor and slow (720p and above)
- preview pictures of video files coded in mpg are not generated/shown
- XBMC often crashes while playing video files regardless of codec used
One question at last: how can i install the the official 10.0-9?
I'm absolutely new to this, maybe someone can post the command lines which I have to put in putty...
Greetings from Germany, XBMC is great works, guys!
