    Apple Apple TV - no section?

    I'm either blind or there's no section for apple TV? I'll look again just in case... I've got a query once I find the right area.

    OK here goes in here - I've just got the Apple TV 2G and Jailbroken it with SeasOnPass. Just wondering if anyone's done the same, and what additional software have you installed?

    I only use XBMC on mine as well. It works quite well but it is a little bit clunky... Make sure that movies are x264 encoded or you will get major playback judder....

    Handbreak has a preset for anything that you need to convert.

    How about a positive LSD story? Would you like to see a positive LSD story on the news to hear what's it all about, perhaps? Wouldn't that be interesting just once?

    "Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves... Here's Tom with the weather".

    Just getting back to fiddling with ATV, thanks for this. Just managed to FTP with WINSCP so I know the equivalent of OpenSSH is working at least.

    Is there a way of installing XBMC from Windows rather than OSX, all the instructions I seem to find relate to command lines in Terminal?

    Right, after the command 'apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2', it just sits there - how long should I be waiting?

    Hope I can get this installed, as I've just found an XBMC plugin for liveonlinefooty.com

    OK, so WinSCP falls over when there's a Y/N option, I've used PuTTy and it's looking healthier / installing now.

    Sorry for the running commentary, this is groundbreaking for me XBMC successfully installed, next to add the plugins / addons for icefilms and liveonlinefooty.

    Get the latest nightly XBMC builds on it, miles faster and supports some of the better skins without slowness/crashing.
