Hello everybody

I love XBMC and i am starting to like ATv2. I am thinking of buying one. But i have a few questions before.

1. Does the skins work in ATv2 with Eden as they do in PC Confused

2. Does it have power to play 720p movies Confused

Or 1080??

3. Does anyone have ATv2, so i can have a little feedback Confused

Thanks everybody

Thanks for the info
Can you play x256 and h264?
What skin do you use?

From the wiki :

Quote: XBMC on iOS can playback all formats supported by XMBC in standard definition. Due to technical limitations only H.264 (up to High Profile) encoded videos are supported for high definition. The iPad 2 and iPhone 4S are the only exceptions to this and will play some other HD codecs (means anything with 720p resolution and above) due to the more powerful CPU inside.

Default Skin is fine, however quick search on this forum will show what other people use successfully.

Ok. I thought that the quote about h264 was about ATv1. So it is the same with ATv2?

ATV1 doesn't run iOS so it was about the ATV2 and yes it is the same.
