Can anyone please provide instructions on how to install XBMC on a jailbroken ATV 2 5.0.1 (5.1.1) - I've just jailbroken it using the new version of Seas0nPass that was released today.

I've backed up the entire XMBC from my old setup (4.4.4) can I just copy this back over to the ATV 2 without re-installing XBMC? as I want to keep all my skin settings etc. etc.

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can copy your user preferences folder back onto it - just be sure the permissions are set correctly.

I updated my atv2 today.I intalled xbmc with no problems using this method

first i installed nitotv

apt-get install com.nito.nitoTV

Then installed the xbmc repo from inside nitotv

then from the sticky

apt-get update
mkdir -p /Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
mkdir -p /Applications/XBMC.frappliance
wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org...os-arm.deb
dpkg -i org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb
rm org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.debt

We really need to put this method at the top of the forums today. I think due to the mass amount of people updating, the usual method (without installing NitoTV) is timing out on me. I tried the above method and it worked like a gem! Thanks alot!

I cant instal XBMC for good.
I already jailbroken my aTV2 just today with the new unthethered for 5.1
I never had XBMC installed before.
When i tried the first comand: apt-get update
i got this line: E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zwkwardtv.list (dist)
How can i do?

I tried this, but just after this first line, i got this message:

Yes, you can copy your user preferences folder back onto it - just be sure the permissions are set correctly.

I did it, and, at the final i got this message:

Followed the instructions posted by harryzimm and it worked! THANKS!!!

These instructions are already in a sticky post. The "READ ME 1st" post points to the iOS FAQ that also contains both video instructions and a link to the 5.1 install post. People just don't read the FAQ before posting.

Hi,

I have problems installing XBMC usibg the most recent jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 (e.g. Jailbreak unthethered 5.1).
I followed steps from the FAQ
I get
org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.

Once in Apple TV, I see the logo for Nito TV and next to it, an "empty" box labelled XBMC.
When I click on it, then I see a

XBMC
-------------------------------
| XBMC |
-------------------------------

I select the second one and then nothing for a while and after everything returns to the main menu where I see Nito tv, and all of the other menus.

Can you help?


Regards

Hi,

I installed XBMC just this morning and had exactly the same problem as you - to rectify the problem, just follow the below procedure:-

apt-get update
mkdir -p /Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
mkdir -p /Applications/XBMC.frappliance
wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org...os-arm.deb
dpkg -i org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb
rm org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb

This should hopefully work.

It seems that it does not find something??

Make sure you have the full filename for the dropbox file

Code:

wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb

[deltakappa]

... effectively it helps when using the full name !

Thanks for this.

I have 2 apple TV2, is there an easy way to do 1 completely and then export the image to the other one ? Which thread should I consult?
