XBMC now available on iOS 6.1 for Apple TV
February 22nd, 2013
As many of you likely have been aware, neither XBMC nor any other non-Apple media center has been available for the updated Apple TV 2 Software 5.2 (iOS 6.1).
Now, we are pleased to announce that XBMC finally supports this update, thanks to the incredible work of XBMC dev Memphiz.
To get your updates on, head over to our wiki and follow the instructions for Apple TV version 5.0 and up.
How many codecs and up to what quality does aTV support with flawless playback?
Awesome work as always!
mine is still on iOS 4 w/xbmc, is it worth the trouble to update to 6.1?
Works like a charm. Great Work!!
fantastic work thank you!!!
Yay another Apple device made worth something to me finally because of XBMC! Thanks team!
Does this mean all IOS devices is supported on 6.1 or just the ATV? Will HW decoding work on an IPad 2 or should I stick with 5.x to be sure XBMC works?
Thanks guys….i used the nitro installer….everything is good…!…Thanks
Will be any support soon for google tv? Cant wait to see that…
:D Thanks a lot for all the work. Only thing I have seen that doesn’t work is spacebar with a bluetooth keyboard using Apple’s native feature.
Fast forwarding and rewinding don’t seem to work since I did the upgrade.
Thanks, but what about airplay? It seems its now working and this was the main reason for me to upgrade.
Is it a full installment of XBMC and will it be powerful enough to play mkvs in 720p or 1080p? If so…WOW!
Excellent! XBMC is the only reason why I bought ATV in the first place!
aww no, another issue, this time with the audio, i cant listen for movies that are more than 1gb or is HD, however i can listen for 700mbs movies. someone knows why?
I think I’m sticking with my Eden linusyang-build for the time being. Works flawlessly in every respect on the ATV2. How can Frodo be any better? Is it performance? Are menus snappier and lists populate quicker? I honestly want to know…
i tried ios 6.1 on apple tv 2, xbmc work well. put xbmc aside device loses other feature and gains some. In this ios you can move icons on home screen but i tried turning off apple tv2 with 3rd party remote i.e my tv remote panasonic, apple tv 2 wouldnt turn off i had to use the orignal apple tv remote to turn off. I’m glad ive rolled back all the hassle for nothing.
no audio in xbmc . how to fix it ?
me too
