Going from Kodi to XBMC
Due to the name change, the steps for downgrading between Kodi (starting at v14 and up) to XBMC (v13.2 and lower) requires slightly different steps:
- Open one of the above URL locations in a web browser and copy the url of the version you wish to install.
- EXAMPLE:
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/atv2/deb/old/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_12.2-0_iphoneos-arm.deb

- Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2:
ssh [email protected]
- EXAMPLE:
ssh [email protected]
- EXAMPLE:
- You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
- Continue to enter the following commands:
rm -f *kodi*.deb
rm -f *xbmc*.deb
apt-get update
wget URL-FROM-STEP-ONE-HERE
- EXAMPLE:
wget http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/atv2/deb/old/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_12.2-0_iphoneos-arm.deb
- EXAMPLE:
wget http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock_1.0-5_iphoneos-arm.deb
dpkg -i *xbmc*.deb
rm *xbmc*.deb
See * Kodi -> Main menu -> System -> Lower submenu -> System info. Note the build date. to verify your Kodi version.
Uninstalling
Uninstalling just Kodi
SSH into your Apple TV (Using the same instructions from above to login). Then run:
apt-get remove org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
or
apt-get remove org.xbmc.kodi-atv2
It will ask you if you want to continue:
The following packages will be REMOVED: org.xbmc.kodi-atv2 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 5 not upgraded. After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Just enter "Y" to accept and continue.
Removing settings
Kodi will uninstall from your Apple TV 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 also run:
rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC
rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi
This will then be completely clear and Kodi will be removed.
Deleting Kodi dependencies
Kodi has three dependencies that it installs along with itself when you first install Kodi (org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock, gawk, bsdiff). After uninstalling Kodi you can also uninstall these 3 dependencies by running this command:
apt-get remove org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock && apt-get remove gawk && apt-get remove bsdiff && apt-get remove org.xbmc.kodi-seatbeltunlock
