[AppleTV2] A few questions about the Apple TV Gen. 2? - The Shadow - 2011-01-25
Hi all, I am new here and I am i have a few questions about the Apple TV Gen. 2.
1. Is there a hulu app (not hulu plus) and amazon Video On Demand app for XBMC?
2. On the home page it says:
Quote:Full XBMC install, this is not a remote or thin client streamer.
No longer is your AppleTV2 chained to iTunes.
Who wants transcoded video anyway?
Share files on your network your way.
so does this mean that I can rip a DVD and share the folder so that XBMC can stream it without having to load the DVD rip into iTunes?
Thanks!

Yes, but make sure you rip to h264. It's able to be decoded in hardware where as other media isn't.

So I have to encode the rip to h.264 (using handbreak) and not just a 1:1 copy of a DVD? Also what about hulu support (not hulu plus)?
