I got it running successfully on iOS5 with the new Seas0npass untethered jailbreak by following the instructions here -> http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW..._2#ATV_5.x

Putty did freeze once in the middle of installing but a quick reboot (menu + down for 7 seconds) and i started from the beginning and it installed fine.... did try nito first but was not a good way to go on ios5.

I have to say, for some reason my atv2 seems a bit more responsive inside of XBMC than when it was on 4.4.4, I'd heard that 5.x maybe wouldn't perform as well.

Apple did list this on the changelog for the ATV software 5.0.1 update (aka, iOS 5.1.1): "Includes fixes for issues affecting stability and performance". So maybe we got back that overhead that we lost after 4.3.

It would be nice if someone could perform some testing of different ios versions to see how performance is. Unfortunately due to lack of blobs this someone isn't me...

If I have helped you in any way, please forgive me, it was entirely accidental.

HD content isn't smooth on Eden take3 of XBMC.
I've attached some logs in the other thread about the issues found on take-3.
