I just sent $51

I'm hoping for monthly stable updates in Cydia.

The following fixes are of utmost importance to me:

ON ATV2
Fix XBMC so that joystick.AppleRemote.xml works with button ID's 70-78 !

Enable Nito TV's Bluetooth stack hack to work with headphones when watching xbmc ( i couldn't make this work)

Fix Photo screen saver

External USB Drive Support, This would make ATV2 a great traveling HTPC.
( I already shaved down my HDMI ccable to fit both plugs at the same time.)


ON IPAD
more gestures ie two fingers tap, up, down.

bigger scrolling bar or better method


P.S. Great Job so far, and so quick..

The USB connection will never be able to be a USB Host, it's a USB Client connection...

I've been using XBMC for years and love it! I don't have that much room for donations, but I donated 15euro's just now... I'll donate some extra when money's not as tight as it is right now Smile

People keep saying that, but it's perfectly possible to mount USB devices on all current Apple iOS devices to the best of my knowledge. You have to provide external power, but once that's taken care of it's a straight device mount. The iOS kernel has had USB host support since before way before the camera connection kit came out for the iPad. You could probably just stick something in fstab and have it mount on boot.

Those iOS devices present a USB Host port via the iPod connector.

The micro-usb port is not the same as what's present on the iPod dock connector. Believe me, I've poked at this from the hardware point of view and the micro-usb port is USB device only.

You are talking Apple and Oranges here.

normally I hate it when someone says it can't be done, it's sort of an insult to hackers, and great minds.. but in this case i must concede (especially if Davilla says so) he makes seance it's like hooking a external usb to another external usb and expecting them to be able to talk to each other. i guess my dremil skills were for not as i don't need to have hdmi and usb plugged in at the same time.
