[[File:Apple remote.jpg|First (white) and second (silver) generation Apple remotes.|thumb]]

There are two versions of the Apple remote, the first generation white one with 6 buttons, and the second generation silver one with 7 buttons. These remotes have sometimes come with Mac computers and [[Apple TV]] units, but can also be purchased separately. The white version is no longer made, but can be found on [[w:eBay|eBay]]. Both versions have identical functions and be used interchangeably. Currently the "Play" button on the silver version functions the same as the middle "select" button (with some exceptions; for instance "Play" on a folder in files-view plays all files in the folder). The remotes can also be paired to a specific device to prevent one remote from controlling two devices at once (or vice versa).

=== (Arch)Linux ===
This is how to install the Apple Remote (A1294) on a Macbook under Archlinux. The IR driver is called macmini if using a different IR device find out the driver name and replace macmini. You will need to run the irrecord step below and won't be able to use the config I posted.

Install lirc using your packagemanager:

pacman -S lirc

edit /etc/conf.d/lircd.conf NOTE: the DEVICE name can differ.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div">
#
# Parameters for lirc daemon
#

LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev1"
LIRC_DRIVER="macmini"
LIRC_EXTRAOPTS=""
LIRC_CONFIGFILE="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
</syntaxhighlight>

create /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div">
begin remote
name Apple_A1294_macmini
bits 8
eps 30
aeps 100
one 0 0
zero 0 0
pre_data_bits 24
pre_data 0x87EE86
gap 111946
toggle_bit_mask 0x0
begin codes
KEY_MENU 0x03
KEY_PLAY 0x5F 0x05
KEY_OK 0x5C 0x05
KEY_RIGHT 0x06
KEY_LEFT 0x09
KEY_UP 0x0A
KEY_DOWN 0x0C
end codes
end remote
</syntaxhighlight>

If you don't have an Apple Remote A1294 (look under the battery for the model number) you must create a file with

sudo irrecord -d /dev/usb/hiddev1 -H macmini /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

OR take a look in /usr/share/lirc/remotes/apple/ OR http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/apple/ if someone else already has.

start the lirc service
sudo /etc/rc.d/lircd start

You can use the '''irw''' command to test if you have done everything right up until now. It will display button presses of the remote.

Now to xbmc:

Create ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<lircmap>
<remote device="Apple_A1294_macmini">
<up>KEY_UP</up>
<down>KEY_DOWN</down>
<left>KEY_LEFT</left>
<right>KEY_RIGHT</right>
<play>KEY_PLAY</play>
<menu>KEY_MENU</menu>
<select>KEY_OK</select>
</remote>
</lircmap>
</syntaxhighlight>

HOW-TO:Install Kodi for iOS

2015-02-09T20:32:18Z

NiemandAG: I updated the instructions on how to install KODI for iOS with Cydia 1.1.16 (because the old ones were outdated). I added some new images.

{{mininav| [[iOS]] }}
The current stable release for iOS is {{current version}}.
;Requirements:
{{#lst:Supported hardware|iDevices}}
* If you have any issues, be sure to read the [[iOS FAQ]]!

{{Kodi migration note}}

__TOC__
{{-}}

== Installing from Cydia ==
<gallery widths=225px heights=338px>
File:cydia_.PNG|'''Step 1:''' Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.
File:repo_.PNG|'''Step 2:''' Sources -> Edit -> Add<br />'''Step 3:''' Type in {{highlight|<nowiki>http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/ios/</nowiki>}}
File:Install1_.PNG|'''Step 4:''' Tap on the teamKodi source.
File:Install2_.PNG|'''Step 5:''' Tap on 'All Packages' and then on 'Kodi-iOS'.
File:Install3_.PNG|'''Step 6:''' Tap install, then confirm.
File:Install4_.PNG|'''Step 7:''' Let it install, then exit Cydia. You should now have a new Kodi icon on your screen.
</gallery>

And you're done! You should now be running {{current version}} for iOS. See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your {{kodi}} version.

== Updating ==
Updates for stable releases of {{kodi}} are handled by Cydia and will show up in the 'Changes' section when available. (After updating the sources)

== Development and custom builds ==
{{anchor|Monthly builds|Beta|Frodo beta|Frodo RC|Beta builds|Nightly builds|Development builds}}
{{main|Development builds}}

{{highlight|color=#FFB5B5| {{big|ALWAYS '''[[BACKUP]]''' YOUR '''[[userdata|USERDATA FOLDER]]''' WHEN USING DEVELOPMENT BUILDS! }} }}

{| class="prettytable"
|-
! Build !! Description !! URL
|-
| '''Nightly build''' || Nightly builds are unstable test builds that have the latest bug fixes and feature additions. They are not fully tested, so anticipate issues and be sure to [[iOS FAQ#Backup|backup your userdata folder]] || ''Download the newest .deb file from:'' http://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/darwin/ios/
|-
| '''Monthly build''' || Monthly builds are more stable than nightly builds, but still contain lots of experimental new code. || ''Download the newest .deb file from:'' http://mirrors.kodi.tv/snapshots/darwin/ios/
|-
| '''Betas and {{nowrap|release candidates}}''' || Betas and release candidates are builds that are being tested to see if they have any bugs left before becoming a stable release. Most major bugs should be fixed in these builds. || ''Download the newest .deb file from:'' http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/pre-release/ios/deb/
|-
| '''Older stable builds''' || If you wish to download an older version of XBMC/Kodi for whatever reason, you can do so with these same instructions below. || http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/ios/deb/
|}

# Install iFile from Cydia if you don't already have it.
# In Mobile Safari (or any browser that can download files) open the <code>.deb</code> file you wish to install, such as from the locations noted above.
#:: '''EXAMPLE:''' <code><nowiki>http://</nowiki>mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios'''.deb'''</code>
# Wait for the download to complete.
#:: {{note|Mobile Safari in iOS 7 won't show the progress bar for downloads, but it will show a loading icon in the menu bar. Just wait a few minutes until the download is done, but don't close Safari.}}
# Select '''"Open in..."'''
# Select '''iFile''' from the available apps
# iFile will get a copy of the downloaded file and open an action menu. Select '''install'''. When iFile is complete you can tap '''done''' at the top.
# In iFile, swipe to delete the downloaded {{kodi}} deb file as it is no longer needed.

See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your {{kodi}} version.

{{note|To go back to a stable version of {{kodi}} you might need to first uninstall {{kodi}} and then use the normal install instructions, or manually download the stable release deb file and install using the dev build instructions.}}

== Uninstalling ==
=== Uninstalling just XBMC/Kodi===
<gallery widths=225px heights=338px>
File:cydia_.PNG|'''Step 1:''' Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.
File:Install1_.PNG|'''Step 2:''' Tap 'Installed' from the bottom of the Cydia menu and then tap Packages
File:KODIinlist_.PNG|'''Step 3:''' Find and tap {{kodi}} in the list of installed packages.
File:KODI-iOS_.PNG|'''Step 4:''' Tap on Modify in the top right and then choose Remove from the pop up menu. <br />'''Step 5:''' Let {{kodi}} uninstall and then press 'Return to Cydia'.
</gallery>

You're all done.

=== Removing settings ===
{{kodi}} will uninstall from your iDevice but will leave certain things ([[databases]] and everything in your [[userdata folder]]) behind to make it easier if you wanted to reinstall. To delete those:

;From the terminal, run:
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/</pre>
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/</pre>

;Or

;From iFile:
Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/

Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/
