I jailbroke my Apple TV2 with Seas0nPass and installed the latest nightly build of XBMC, however when attempting to play a video it just crashes back to the main menu. Whats wrong with this?

Update: Never mind, strangely the dependencies were missing even though I sent the ssh command to get them. Seems working now Wink

AC3 passthrough does not work. Blush I connect APTV to receiver via HDMI.

dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb
thanks!

yanksfan Wrote:sorry for the newbie question, where can I find info on how to do this? I need to add another drive to mine

The easiest way is by using ssh, i.e.
ssh root@192.168.1.666 (change the IP to your atv2's IP address, default password is alpine)
cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC
rm -rf userdata

If by "need to add another drive" you mean add a USB drive to your atv2 that's not possible. See the FAQ here:

Now the only options left in the Video menu is "Files, Playslits and Video Add-ons" where have the "Add Source option gone? Any ideas?

The Add Source is under Files now, I believe.

EDIT: After you add the first source, the Files and Playlists folders are created it seems.

Dev team released a new version of their jailbreak - wonder if it fixes the issue?

Is XBMC now working correct on ATV2 with redsn0w 0.9.6rc10 ?


- DN38416 - 2011-04-07 19:08

I didn't think that you could jailbreak the AppleTV2 with redsn0w?
Have they added support?

EDIT: No they haven't... *sigh* waste of time. Damn noob posts getting my hopes up!
