Some hints for using XBMC on touch devices

  • single tap: select/execute
  • 2 finger single tap: context menu
  • 2finger swipe left: go back
  • beside that just drag or flick through lists...

Installing the latest nightly build

A list of changes can be found on https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commits

Nightly builds incorporate the latest program code from developers and are created by an automated build bot; each night's build constitutes the "latest" version of XBMC that is publicly available.

NOTE: You must install the Cydia version before you can install nightly builds. You only need to install the Cydia version once.
  1. Open http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/ in your browser and copy the url of the most recent file in that listing
  2. In that url you just copied, make note of the file name after "../ios/". For example it will look something like "xbmc-20110822-e391fde-master-ios.deb"
  3. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following commands:
    Note: it is possible to run a terminal application from an iPhone/iPod/iPad, meaning you can install/upgrade without a computer. Instructions for this, as well as GUI alternatives, are coming later
    ssh [email protected]
  4. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
  5. Continue to enter the following commands: 
    wget URL-FROM-STEP-1-HERE
    dpkg -i FILE-NAME-FROM-STEP-2-HERE
    rm FILE-NAME-FROM-STEP-2-HERE
  6. You should now have the latest nightly build of XBMC for iOS.
