Installing from the command line

    EXAMPLE: ssh [email protected]
  2. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
  3. Continue to enter the following commands: 
    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.kodi.tv/apt/atv2 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list
    apt-get update
    apt-get install org.xbmc.kodi-atv2
    reboot

If you have issues with any of the Nito installers then please try the command line instructions to see if that fixes the issue. Nito simply gives a GUI for those command line instructions, so it should work, but Team Kodi has no control over those installers and cannot update them or see any errors from them, or anything like that.

Development and custom builds

Main page: Development builds

ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR USERDATA FOLDER WHEN USING DEVELOPMENT BUILDS!

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 backup your userdata folder http://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/darwin/atv2/
Monthly build Monthly builds are more stable than nightly builds, but still contain lots of experimental new code. http://mirrors.kodi.tv/snapshots/darwin/atv2/
Betas and 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. http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/pre-release/atv2/deb/
Older stable builds If you wish to download an older version of Kodi for whatever reason, you can do so with these same instructions below. http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/atv2/deb/
  1. Open one of the above URL locations in a web browser and copy the url of the most recent file in that listing.
    EXAMPLE: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/darwin/atv2/kodi-20150120-e740097-master-atv2.deb
  2. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2: 
    ssh [email protected]
    EXAMPLE: ssh [email protected]
  3. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
  4. Continue to enter the following commands: 
    rm -f *kodi*.deb
    apt-get update
    wget URL-FROM-STEP-ONE-HERE
    EXAMPLE: wget http://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/darwin/atv2/kodi-20150120-e740097-master-atv2.deb
    dpkg -i *kodi*.deb
    rm *kodi*.deb

See * Kodi -> Main menu -> System -> Lower submenu -> System info. Note the build date. 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.


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:

  1. 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
  2. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2: 
    ssh [email protected]
    EXAMPLE: ssh [email protected]
  3. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
  4. 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
    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
