ProphetVX Wrote:Why would you need to do this? ATV2 is a completely separate platform with it's own set of limiting factors. Running a plugin and running a plugin well are a completely separate kettle of fish on the ATV2. Yes it's XBMC but the architecture is completely different and processing power is severely limited.
Most flash based plugins for example are close to unusable above SD quality.
This is the kind of incorrect assumption we want to avoid. When it comes to the vast majority of add-ons the "processing power" is irrelevant. We're talking about video streams and scripts. I don't know what you think is happening under the hood, but it's not some kind of voodoo magic.
Most of the "flash based" add-ons that are having issues right now are ones related to the librtmp, which will be resolved eventually. It worked at one point and it will work again. The real problem is most of those sites are also working on other ways to block direct access and have issues across all platforms.
Like procrastinator said, the list of
not working is a lot shorter than the list of
working. ATV2 issues are more about ATV2 still being a new platform rather than any hard ATV2 limitations.
eTip: a thread going through what is working and what isn't working is indeed useful, but again I'm saying that someone just starting out and asking "hey guys, what are some cool add-ons" shouldn't feel limited to just searching for ATV2 specific areas. It doesn't bother me if people ask these questions on the iOS forum, but broadening their search is often to
their benefit.
