Just installed it there on my iPad 3, works fine. The interface is not Retina enabled obviously. I tried a 720p Anime MKV and it didn't run very well at all, but another 720p MKV (Not Anime) played fine.
Nice to have Hardware acceleration back for MKVs

Come on RETINA

I jailbroke my Ipad3 too and i hope a update for the retina display will come soon!

strange. I though that linusyang patch should have fixed the retina display issues...

Videos are laggy when I play through an SD card with the CCK. Hope they fix it.

Blame the confusion on Apple's lame marketing terminology.

Everything works fine and fast, the only problem i experienced was that the audio settings doesnt work on ipad 3, 5.1.1, i mean the menu you use to increase the volume if a video should have a very low audio.

It's really strange. I thought my patch would work on iPad 3, but it doesn't. Someone met the same issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/97570...etina-ipad.
Will someone try the latest nightly build and see if it is retina displayed, since I don't have an iPad 3.

Rentins refers to the PPI and not the resolution so if the PPI is over a certain number it is what apple brand Retina.

I installed xmbc stable and it worked like a charm. Then i upgraded to the 5-25 nightly build, and swith video ouput mode to fullscreen #2, and then came the tragedy --- only the left top corner of the whole picture is showing on the tv (both the software gui and the video picture itself)

All user interface with the Touched skin is blured. Didn't tried yet with a video.

Pretty excited about the new jailbreak for xbmc purposes, I've always wanted a portable(ish) device with xbmc running on it, and now it can be done!
Anyone able to YouTube a video of it in action?

Not being retina, that's basically the same that xbmc on iPad 2, there are many video on youtube with this like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvXdAAOPq1o

@linusyang, gave a look at your patch, it looks fine for iPad 3, maybe that is the problem.
What iOS SDK version is used to generate the nighty builds?... Trying to build on my side with 5.1...
EDIT: Yes that's it. XBMC nighty builds are built against 4.2, so UIScreen.scale returns 1 on iPad 3...
(makes sense, iPad 3 wasn't released when 4.2 was out, and probably rely on some device -missing- constants)
Two options, 1. build against 5.1, 2. change code to do a specific check on device model using some code like this
Trying against 5.1... Only got latest version anyway.
