I just purchased an Apple TV 2 to replace my returned Boxee. I am loving the Netflix and Podcast stuff and I am patiently waiting for the release of Greenpois0n RC6 so I can untethered jailbreak and install XBMC.
My question is what I can and cannot play with the ATV2 hardware? I have a huge library that goes all the way from low bitrate 480p DVD rips to 12mbps 1080p BluRay rips, what is the limit on what the ATV2 will be able to decode smoothly? I realize it will not be outputting 1080p which is fine with me, my question is how high a bitrate can it handle? I dont generally store full 30gb BluRay rips, I am usually fine with a 4-8gb rip with a lower bitrate @ 1080p.
Thanks in advance.
Side question, can I add on from 3rd party repos (like the Bluecop Hulu plugin and the Icefilms plugin)??
