- See also: XBMC for iOS specific FAQ
Requirements:
- To install XBMC for iOS you must have a jailbroken Apple TV 2 with software version 4.1 to 4.4. See here to find out what version you are currently running.
Notice: XBMC on iOS is a work in progress. The available versions are the Cydia build and the latest nightly build. The Cydia build installs an older version of XBMC and anything else XBMC needs to run. The latest nightly contains the most recent XBMC code and is created daily by an automated build bot. First install the Cydia build then install the nightly build. Do not use the Cydia build without updating to the nightly builds as it is no longer supported.
Installing from Cydia
- This is the same build installed from the nitoTV menu, if installed.
To install the Cydia build:
- Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2:
- You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
- Continue to enter the following commands:
- Issue these commands in your Terminal window, in sequence:
apt-get install wget
wget -O- http://apt.awkwardtv.org/awkwardtv.pub | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list
echo "deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list
apt-get update
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
reboot
- Proceed to install the latest nightly build below:
Installing the latest nightly build
- Change history: trac timeline or commit history
NOTE: You MUST install the Cydia version before you can install a nightly build. You only need to install the Cydia version once and you don't need to uninstall previous versions to upgrade (or downgrade) XBMC.
- Open http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/ in a web browser and copy the url of the most recent file in that listing. For example it will look something like:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-atv2.deb
- Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2:
- You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
- If you installed the Cydia version before November 26th, and have not manually installed UpdateBeGone, then you will need to issue this command (You only need to install UpdateBeGone once, so for future nightly updates you can skip this step). If you can't remember if it is installed, it is safe to enter the command again to make sure it is installed:
apt-get install com.nito.updatebegone
- Continue to enter the following commands:
rm -f xbmc*.deb
wget URL-FROM-STEP-ONE-HERE
dpkg -i xbmc*.deb
rm xbmc*.deb
- You should now have the latest nightly build of XBMC for ATV2. See here to verify your XBMC version.
