XBMC Comes to Apple TV 2, iPad and iPhone

The XBMC team have announced an ARM-based release of their open source media player and entertainment hub for the Aple TV 2, iPad and iPhone. The software, that requires a jailbroken device, allows users to stream and play any audio and video format from local network stores. Your Apple TV also retains its normal functionality, and you can still watch/purchase content off iTunes.

Instructions are available for installing on the Apple TV 2 and the iPhone/iPad. Here are two videos of XBMC running on an Apple TV and an iPad.

XMBC is a great piece of software, and I have it installed on my original Apple TV streaming media from my 2TB ReadyNAS NV+.

    Hi Tor,

    You will need to plug the Apple TV into an audio system to play the music. That said, the ATV2 uses an HDMI connector, so you’d need a soundsystem that will accept an HDMI connection.
