Hi,
I have an ATV2 that is on apple firmware 4.1.1 (which i believe means 4.2.1) and it is running Eden. I have the blobs from when i jailbroke it way back in 2011 but I have not upgraded the apple firmeware since then. The ATV2 is connected to a TV with no other audio hardware (no receiver, no external speakers, etc).
I'm now thinking about upgrading my atv2 from eden to frodo because i'm thinking of getting another device to run xbmc in a bedroom (either a pi, an android device of some kind, or a nuc) and i'd like to attempt to setup a mysql database so that all devices in my house would have sync'd watched lists.
I also have a full blown htpc running frodo, this would be the host for the mysql database.
Now I have 3 questions:
1) Do all devices have to be running the same version of xbmc to share the same mysql library?
2) Will i have problems running frodo on apple firmware 4.2.1?
3) Will i have problems playing back files that have dolby digital, or aac, or dts tracks (remember I have only a plain tv with no external audio hardware).
If i'm better off staying on eden, I will do that and forget about the shared mysql database (it's not that big a deal really). Weather is broken (not a huge deal) and i'm thinking more things will start to break as things move forward and i'm still on eden.
