hello,
i think about buying a apple tv... and i am an absolut noob
in patch this little box
what i use:
- macbook pro with all medias (iphoto, itunes, movies and eyetv)
- eyeconnect to get an upnp server on the macbook pro
- wireless lan
- hdmi full hd samsung lcd
what i want to do:
get all media to my lcd
that should be no problem except the eyetv recordings...
so i decided to buy and than patch an apple tv mit xbmc
befor that i have a couple of questions:
1. am i right, that xbmc is just a "subfolder" in my front row software?
so i could also use front row parallel?
2. i can use different skins on the atv, right? is it also possible to use
the front row skin?
i like this skin and dont want to change it
3. patching and getting xbmc running shouldnt be a problem?
4. the atv is only 720p... is this only for movies? is it possilbe to display pictures (jpg) in full hd - 1080p?
5. how do i get "cover flow" (like front row) for mp3 etc? is it difficult?
best regards
