Having red eyes from trying to update myself on iPad3 and XBMC and having to buy a (iPad2/iPad3) solution for my daughters to watch video in the car within 10 days, please allow me to ask.
I am a grateful user of XBMC for many years now. I apologize
if this is the wrong place, please do let me know if so.
1) With latest jailbreak 5.1.1 and a reasonably stable XBMC build (>=11.0), can I get XBMC playing 720p movies in a nice resolution? It does not have to be the max. yet (I am sure it will come), but will it be watchable?
2) Any chance the iPad3 can play videos that were stored on an external USB HDD or should I always have to copy videos from external USB HDD to the internal memory?
3) Any chance one can watch a movie on an iPad and at the same time use HDMI out to see the movie on an external LCD (I have a 7 inch one in the car).? It seems like it was fixed but I am not sure how to interpret
this posting versus
this posting.

this thread is more then a year old ... tvout is added in the current nightlys and is working up to 1080p (iphone4s, ipad3 - all others 720p).
Quote:iDevices can playback most videos saved as high as 1080p. Native video output from a composite, component, VGA, or HDMI adapter on an iDevice is not currently supported, so iDevices can't output their capable resolution (via HDMI adapter: 720P on most supported iDevices, 1080P on the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S). Support for this may be added in the future.
These cables can be used via jailbreak solutions found on Cydia such as DisplayOut and TVout2, but will be limited to the current screen resolution.
I am confused by these posts and have no idea what cables they refer to, but if not today, perhaps an indication if this is considered worthwhile by the developers?
Thanks in advance!
