If your Apple TV runs software version 4.2.1(2100) on iOS 4.3 XMBC will give you errors like “Audio Device Error” and it won’t play MKV files. I managed to restore it to previous firmware without SHSH blobs and use GreenPois0n to jailbreak and install XBMC again.

I was wondering if this updates the film info like it does on my pc. I installed xbmc on my pc and really liked the way the program would download the title, movie info, video box and the moviesheet ( if thats what its called ) will this do the same? excuse the newbie question but if it can Im buying one today. thanks for any feedback.

sorry I am completely new at this so this may be a stupid question… if I jailbreak my Apple TV 2… is it possible to revert back to the unjailbreak state, say in case I need to send it back to get it fix for something?

Yes, I use spanish subs in srt format. Yes they work great. One thing I don’t know is to switch between subtitles with this new remote control. I had first generation of xbox before and that was easy.

Here is how I installed XBMC with Windows PC with untethered jailbreak. 10 minutes job.

It works great. Even tried on the TV that does not have HDMI input. I used HD Fury to convert HDMI to VGA. Also perfect!
