I have installed this new build and everything went well. However i still have problems hearing dialog in various movies/tv-shows.

I hoped this "AC3/DTS Audio Dialogs" would have fixed my problems.

I am using HDMI under 4.1.1 Any ideas?

Try disabling 'generate thumbnails' under Settings > Video > File Types I think. That helped with my ac3 audio playback.

I just tried it and it works great, massive thanks for the web interface!

Minor thing is that the "stash" directory doesn't exist for me (ATV2).
The directory that did it for me was /Applications/XBMC.frapliance/

Good job finding my iOS build guys! I haven't had a chance to write up instructions, but essentially its:
1) Install xbmc the normal way: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Install_XBMC_on_iPhone/iPad
2) Using Filezilla or whatever SCP/SFTP into the device (after enabling openssh) and copy over the XBMC.app from http://music.hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/XBMC-ARM.ios.012611.zip to /private/var/stash/Applications.pwn
3) run xbmc!

Worked for me on an iPad, 4.2.1.

Since i installed the new build the sound is coming a bit after the picture, don't know why it's not in sync. Appears to be on mkv files, all my movies are in mkv 720. I'm talking about a split of a second, but i really notice it.


Web Server - nothingcool - 2011-01-27 19:12

The new build is great! The webserver controls are huge and AC3 passthrough is working perfectly over my optical connection.

The only small webserver issue I've noticed is that if I'm using XBMC remote on my iPhone, the controls work perfectly, but the keyboard input doesn't do anything. Just a small thing, but it would make entering info into dialog boxes much easier! BTW, this feature works perfectly on my old ATV running Dharma.

Otherwise, everything seems great! HD working good, audio working good and the menus are nice and quick. I switched to PM3.HD and it's smooth.

Thanks again all!!

Ned Scott Wrote:Bluecop's Hulu plug-in is working with this build! It took forever for the video to start after selecting it, but I'm currently watching a 720 episode of Family Guy with no issues. Watching Conan on the TBS plug-in stuttered a lot, though. I won't bother going into detail for the various plug-ins, but I thought I would let people know that the Hulu plug-in is working.

Some shows work for me and some shows don't. Can you try the ABC show No Ordinary Family (episodes 1 and 3)? I couldn't get those to play.

The reason why that is is by default BlueCop's plugin shows you all Hulu shows, Plus included.
Plus is a paid addon to Hulu that requires logging in which the plugin supports.

In Addon Settings you can disable it showing Plus so you only see whats free.
