I'm disappointed by xbmc and plex - xbmc offers less video programming than the mac version and I can't figure out how to open Plex because I'm having trouble figuring out the network stuff which you must do manually for these two programs - this may be a problem for anyone working with these programs in ATV2 - Atvflash seems to be a nice program that is being improved - before them the hacking process was a tedious ssh business - we shall see what happens with future iterations of Greenpoison which is free and what Apple does with iOS5 - I'm still trying to figure out what is the right smb// to get xbmc to work.

NitoTV is an optional install - allows you to do advanced stuff. It simplifies the process - once you have jailbroken with Season Pass, atvflash eliminates the terminal - media player works with file sharing to run movies on my internal hd which is nice-web browser which really needs a remote on your iphone/ipod. I totally agree with this dev philosophy: core AppleTV features remain and they just add more to it without drastically changing the UI etc.Īnyone have it installed? Does it work well? Does it break anything? Has anyone tried this with their Apple TV?

I'm quite happy with it right now and my Netflix works fine and the benefits of being able to play 1080p MKV/AVIs is huge to me.Ĭan't believe I didn't come across this before. It connected to my NAS without issues and listed all my files.Īs for Apple blocking this at some point. I got it primarily to play MKV/AVI files and so far it has played every one I threw at it. I've been using it for 15 min or so and I haven't had any issues so far. Even though it's labeled as beta, it's based off their older aTV product which is quite stable. I was too impatient so I bought it an hour ago. If, at some point Apple actively blocks this, you've now got to decide which fork to go down. Plus there's the issue that their entire product is based on jailbreaking the device. Also, even though it keeps all the current ATV features (nice choice) I'd be wary of having a custom firmware with access to my MobileMe / Flicker / Netflix account data. If I'm reading right it's still beta which makes me hesitant.
