- davilla - 2011-01-21 Superorb Wrote:So Davilla, are you using the ATV2 remote or another remote that can take advantage of XBMC's features? xbmc_remote for dev, the normal Al Apple IR remote now. full 1080p (1920 x 1080) drops a few frames, 1920 x 900 or so does not. It's something we are looking into, the hw decoder can certainly keep up. - Geekzilla - 2011-01-21 Great Job! - skgruy - 2011-01-21 Can I connect an external hdd? - Phokus - 2011-01-21 Will i be able to access the videos on my Windows Home Server through Apple TV 2/XBMC? - pike - 2011-01-21 skgruy Wrote:Can I connect an external hdd? Does ATV2 have a USB "Host" ? Answer is no Only external hdd is via network, aka a NAS - Superorb - 2011-01-21 davilla Wrote:xbmc_remote for dev, the normal Al Apple IR remote now.Awesome. Keep up the good work! - snowglyder - 2011-01-21 Just picked up the ATV2 on amazon for $97.99, paid the extra $3.99 for next day shipping so I can get this going Saturday... I can't wait! I was just talking about purchasing my buddy's ATV 40GB for $50, but Davilla just lost him a sale. Awesome work! - Frozone - 2011-01-21 WOW thx a lot. Will buy one ATV2 soon. --> You just helped Apple to earn more money Edit: Just read in the other threads that it can't output 1080p. So I wait for the next ATV. - mprassel - 2011-01-21 pike Wrote:Does ATV2 have a USB "Host" ? It has a micro-usb port on the back. Could you get an adapter for a regular usb cable and plug in an external hard drive that way? - amet - 2011-01-21 mprassel Wrote:It has a micro-usb port on the back. Could you get an adapter for a regular usb cable and plug in an external hard drive that way? i'll repeat what pike said, ATV2 doesnt have a USB "Host" .. you cannot have ext HDD attached to ATV2 ... it will not work - compcentral - 2011-01-21 very interested in this project... wish I would have known b4 buying a 2nd 1st gen atv, but my 1st gen plays 1080p just fine so I'm still happy. - jayace - 2011-01-21 Phokus Wrote:Will i be able to access the videos on my Windows Home Server through Apple TV 2/XBMC? Would like to know this as well. I assume the answer is yes, can anyone confirm? - brownies - 2011-01-21 davilla Wrote:xbmc_remote for dev, the normal Al Apple IR remote now. Hi, So this little box can (or will be able to) decode 1080p, but what about the output ? 720p only, or appletv can now output 1080p too. That remains unclear to me... - topfs2 - 2011-01-21 brownies Wrote:Hi, It can decode 1080p and display it in 720p. It cannot display in 1080p. - kevron - 2011-01-21 90% of my movie collection is still SD. Just now stocking up on Blu Rays... so it only displaying 720 is fine for me. Would be nice if it did 1080, but not a huge issue for me. |
