AppleTV 2 (black) iOS 5.1 & XBMC

Man there is no untethered jailbreak for ios5.1 yet. Thats a simple fact which is even stated in the color red on the seas0npass site. Now stop spamming around with your jailbreak stuff here please.

So what you're saying is that there's an untethered jb for ios5.1. Where can i get it?











Joking. Don't hit me!

I'm a newb to all this, but not completely ignorant when it comes to Apple products, but when I try to do the whole loading XBMC to my ATV2 5.1 using Seas0nPass tethered jailbreak, I'm typing the commands line by line using Putty and get the following:

Apple-TV:~ root# apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2: Depends: org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


I'm completely ignorant to this part of it, and would be extremely grateful for any insight as to what I might be doing wrong or what I need to change in order to help everything go smooth. Everything seemed to go smooth until that line.

Thanks in advance for any assistance the helpful folks here on the forum could provide!

Type in

apt-get -f install

then return. Then try the install instructions again.

Did you follow the instructions for ATV iOS 5.0?: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=127369

Anyone else getting constant buffering? I got everything working with the jailbreak and installed XBMC but streaming any movies to the aTV2 from my NAS is always having buffering stops. I know it's not the NAS and network because I'm hardwired and streaming to the Macbook Pro and iPad1 have no buffering issues.

Is the ATV2 just not capable of handling the video formats? I've tried everything from NFS, turning options off, and clearing the cache.

iOS FAQ will tell you what formats the ATV2 will playback smoothly. Most likely you are trying to playback HD (720+) movies that aren't in h.264.

I am having some weirdness with 5.1 and Take3 or 11.0-3 or whatever.

I upgraded from 4.2.2/Eden (I think it was) and was immediately impressed. I don't know if it was just from wiping the ATV and starting over or if it was from improvements but menus seemed faster. It also buffered a little less then before on my toughest file (Hugo in 720) although it did still buffer during the intro. My reference file (Dark Knight in 720) seemed to play perfectly.

But then I played a SD TV episode and noticed a weird intermittent but constant hitch or pop in the video: a raised arm would suddenly pop or warp up quickly or head movement would look like an 80s breakdancing video.

The audio plays perfectly though, no matter what, and I seem to have no problems with HD content.

Here are my log files. I watched two SD episodes that have the problem and then another SD episode that doesn't.
