I have no idea how to get this working on my iPad…. I ave reinstalled twice….

apt-get install libcurl wut?

Please help an old fool.

Hey I just loaded the Cydia REPO and its empty.. are the developers repakaging it or something still?? Im on Ipad 4.2.1.

Anyone know what the wireless situation is with this? I’d like to pick up 3 of them to replace the various Revo machines I have around the house.

WOW! Full hardware video decoding of 1080p movies!

How did you manage that when not even does Apple it?

@topfs2
I think there were about six million new tablets reveiled at CES two weeks ago, many of them running Android … How’s that for interesting hardware? ;-)

@tacroy
Well you need iOS 4.x:

Would love to see IPad version in appstore.
Why not simply send to Apple see if they accept or not.
If noone of you complains to Apple like that VLC guy there shouldnt be any problem.

So… when is the Android version coming?

I can understand iOS being priority because of the atv but now I want this on my Android tablet :) Imagine custom ROMs built with XBMC as the default UI/launcher!

Congratulations, great work !

Thanks alot, have been waiting for this ;D

@davilla

What waldo22 said. I in no way meant to devalue the work you’ve done. The fact that 1080p is being processed at all is a tremendous effort, and clearly better than what Apple could do with their own hardware. Bravo! And thanks for the clarification.

You have granted my wish. Great job, keep up the good work.

wooow.. I have my Iphone dock next to my tv… I will try

Are there plans to support other devices? For example the Nokia n900 is a powerful arm phone running an open linux distribution (hence no need for jailbreaking).

thanks

AAaaaaaaaaaamaaaaazing!!! Thank you all!

Will the source code from this port be merged into XBMC’s mainline trunk?

I would imagine that other ARM platforms would benifit from this code as well?

Are you using an existing hardware acceleration API or?

Arw you considering a port of XBMC to another ARM device, such as the Nokia N900?

does 1080p processed mean, displayed or just decoded? Is it still limited to display 720p?

cheers

@Ben
*g* never mind .. should have read all comments first :-D

I just wanted to let you know that you made my day. Not because you made XBMC available for iOS devices, though this why I’m here. No you made my day because of this:
“And while we’re at it, put your iPhone4 to work using XBMC as well. Why? Because we can.”

Thank you! You are awesome developers and while being so great you also don’t loose your funny side!

XBMC for Android Phones, anytime soon ?

Guys, you ROCK! That’s probably the very first time i’m SERIOUSLY considering buying Apple Hardware! 100 Bucks for a full blown media center client without steel-ties to iTunes? That’s a dream! Great work!!

Did someone compare the performance ATV2 with Mac Mini C2D 2Ghz running XBMC?

@Joe
I cant add my NAS as a source, I type \\10.0.1.1\ShareName\Movies and it automatically changes to //10.0.1.1/ShareName/Movies. What gives? Why the symbol change

Android ! Please … a Android Version would be awesome !

First of all, very awesome work guys!

Second, what a lousy responses to @ITGUY’s, imo, valid question. I’d like to know this too, because I don’t think the statement ‘since it directly competes with apple products’ has to necessarily be a reason for Apple to reject it. Isn’t the real ‘obstacle’, in this case, that code is GPL licensed and thus not compatible with the app store agreement?

In any case, I’d love to see this in the official store, but that has nothing to do with the fact that it’s a very impressive achievement :)

DAMN! I never saw this coming, kinda pissed in a way, just bought an android phone phone and was so happy but now….serious buyers remorse.

Will this output 5.1 from apple tv, apologies if this is stupid question but never been interested in one til now

$99 is an amazing price, £62 in UK money, so I go to apple’s UK shop to buy… and they’re selling it for £101 ($160). What the hell, apple? £99 I’d think “ok, so they’re ripping us off just as much as every other tech company”, but £101 seems like they don’t just want to rip their customers off, they also personally hate them :-(

Still, even if it just knocked itself out of the impulse-buy zone, I’d consider getting one if it could replace the other functions of my current home server while also using much less power…

Thank you… Live i Denmark and dont have the possibillety to buy the atv2.. But because of this release i just ordrede 3 i UK… Hope Apple dosnt f*** it up whit an update.. Have 2 “old” atv with XBMC and a iPod toutch with the remote.. Works great.

YOU ROCK PEOPLE. The best from the best. I love you guys. Keep working like you do.

Amazing

Whoa! External HDD is available via Micro USB port?

I thought the XBMC developers were pretty clear about not supporting specific devices ?

This is BIG news! Thanks guys!

They say it works on atv 2g that runs a jailbroken 4.1 fw… That means the first iOS that came with the atv and that it is untethered after a jailbreak! I can´t confirm this yet thou, my atv 2g 4.1 is at my apartment :(!

How about hd-audio?

Wow.
This has totally made my day.
Finally a reason to jailbreak my iPad – can’t wait to get home and try it.

Can the AppleTV 2 really do 1080p MKV’s? If so I’ll buy one now!

They’re £89 on Amazon right now

The other source shown on the Wiki for the iPhone is really, really not nice. :(

same with price in Germany 119 EUR, i’m thinking about replacing my Mac Mini C2D and getting ATV2 and selling Mac Mini, ATV2 has audio over HDMI Mac Mini not.

I may go on lunch to Apple Store and get one

Amazing job guys! Thanks a lot.

@Shish

£99 became £101 due to the recent VAT increase.

“They merely announced they are DECODING 1080p video”, sorry but I have to laugh, merely, like it’s trivial to do on a 1GHz armv7 in 256MBs of RAM. Yes we decode 1080p and use the hw scaler to scale to 720p. Getting the ATV2 is display 1080p is not high on the priority list right now.

Davilla, yours is a massive success. But I suggest that the 720p output gets more visibility in the announcement. Otherwise I’m sure lots of people will buy it for XBMC and later bitch about not being able to do 1080p output.

Jailbreaking has currently a different legal status compared to PS3 hacking. Also, the developers have always stated that they feel themselves free to do what they want with their time. Davilla chose ATV2. Simple.

You guys are my heroes of the Year!!!!!

I’ve bought Apple TV 2 and were fairly disappointed. I’ve searched the whole Internet to stream my Videos to Apple TV 2 and came to the conclusion to buy an Apple TV 1 to install XMBC or to hope for AirPlay and convert all my Movies.
I’m watching 10 Apple TV 1 auctions but now – I’m happy like a schnitzel !!!!111 No other Apple TVs, no more pain with encoding.

You guys are amazing!!!!

This is insane. Great work!

Finally I can replace my original Xbox XBMC! Just one questions:

Will the Apple TV 2 XBMC be able to play content from a extrenal USB hard drive?

What about AC3 & DTS passthrough?
the original ATV firmware does not allow DTS passthrough,
would that be enabled using XBMC?

OMG Thank you thank you and good bye air video

Andrew Jones :

Sure, the support is based on hardware and OS capabilities. But when there is only a single device in a category (eg, “phone running iOS”), then it makes more sense to call the device by name :P
