Upgrade ATV2 to latest iOS - snowxbmc - 2011-06-25

So I already have the lastest nightly XBMC on an ATV2 running 4.2.1 but want to upgrade to 4.2.2 to get the 16bit audio option so ac3/dts works.

My question is if I upgrade does that wipe the atv2 so I have to start from scratch or does the XBMC install stay in place with all its current settings/library?

you will have to start again, as in reinstall xbmc, etc, etc

you can backup all your XBMC settings and such. Just SSH or (or use an SFTP client with a nice GUI) and copy everything from:

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/

After you upgrade and re-jailbreak just copy those files back over in the same location, and XBMC will pop right back up just as you left it.


is it worth upgrading? - edwingoh - 2011-06-26

Do we actually benefit sonically as well visually from using the 4.2.2?

Only if you had problems before the update.
