This update comes complete with a great deal of improvements, bug fixes, and extended hardware support. The real question is what will this mean for us Apple TV junkies. Well, this new build offers:<br />
<span id="more-3706"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>HD audio support, including DTS-MA and Dolby True-HD, via the new <a title="XBMC AudioEngine" href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=AudioEngine">XBMC AudioEngine</a> (OSX/iOS not yet available)</li>
<li>Live TV and <a title="XBMC PVR Setup Guide" href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR">PVR support</a></li>
<li>h.264 10bit (aka <a href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Hi10P">Hi10P</a>) video software decoding for anime</li>
<li>64bit support in OSX to match the 64bit support in Linux</li>
<li>Improved image support, allowing the database to accomodate numerous additional image types and more interesting and complex skins</li>
<li>Support for the <a href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Raspberry_Pi/FAQ">Raspberry PI</a></li>
<li>Initial support for the <a title="XBMC for Android FAQ" href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_for_Android_specific_FAQ" target="_blank">Android platform</a></li>
<li>Improved <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/airplay" target="_blank">AirPlay</a> support across all platforms, including AirPlay audio in XBMC for Windows to match the other platforms</li>
<li><a title="Xbox 360 controller support for XBMC wiki" href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Xbox_360_Wireless_Controller_for_Windows">Improved controller support</a> in Windows and Linux</li>
<li><a title="Advanced Filtering" href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Advanced_Library_Filtering">Advanced Filtering</a> in the library</li>
<li><a title="Video library tags" href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Video%20library%20tags" target="_blank">Video library tags</a> to complement movie sets</li>
<li><a title="How to share libraries using UPnP" href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Share_libraries_using_UPnP">Advanced UPnP</a> sharing</li>
<li>Default video languages now match the language being used by XBMC</li>
<li>Translations now <a title="Transifex Announcement" href="http://xbmc.org/blittan/2012/10/30/dear-addon-and-skin-developers/">powered by Transifex</a></li>
</ul>
<p>For you Apple TV fans, one of the biggest adjustments is the extended support for H.D. audio. This latest builds helps enable you to make the most of the audio capabilities that the Apple TV has to offer. Aside from these listed improvements, you will see many changes under the hood. Some of these are great to see, others are a bit frustrating. One of the more exciting features, to me, is the inclusion of something known as skin.widgets. This tool makes skinning a much better experience. If you want to get a real idea of what this means for skins in Frodo, look no further than <a href="http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=141960" target="_blank">SiO2</a> by a developer named fastcolors. This skin is designed with you in mind.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/sio2-skin-xbmc.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3711" title="sio2-skin-xbmc" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/sio2-skin-xbmc.png" alt="sio2 skin xbmc XBMC Frodo (12.0) is officially released" width="550" height="344" /></a></p>
<p>Read also:<a title="Permanent link to How to change skins in XBMC on Apple TV" href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/11/02/how-to-change-skins-in-xbmc-on-apple-tv/" rel="bookmark">How to change skins in XBMC on Apple TV</a></p>
<p>In contrast, one of the frustrating items is the fact that we lose the use of <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/last-fm" target="_blank">last.FM</a> playback in this latest build. They explained this on their blog, at xbmc.org, as something that was unavoidable do to the changes in the coding, but it is missed none the less. It is also worth noting that there are quite a few add-ons/skins that are not currently supported in Frodo. Usually, this is not a problem as developers can easily make changes to get their add-ons/skins working in the latest XBMC build. Sadly, there are quite a few devs, of some well known add-ons/skins, that are no longer actively keeping their items up to date. This means that we may lose some of our favorite add-ons/skins in the upgrade. Time will tell.</p>
<p>All in all. It is worth the update. As a rule, we should always upgrade as it only improves the overall experience. If an add-on, or skin, is missed enough, someone will get it working again!</p>

<p><a href="http://firecore.com/?atvhacks" target="_blank">FireCore</a> released <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/atv-flash-black" target="_blank">aTV Flash (black)</a> 2.0 for the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-2" target="_blank">2nd generation Apple TV</a>. <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/atv-flash-black-2-0" target="_blank">Version 2.0</a> adds a ton of new features “that make browsing and watching media on the Apple TV more enjoyable than ever.” aTV Flash (black) 2.0 adds new Library View, fully integrated search, trakt.tv syncing, Last.fm scrobbling and much more. Version 2.0 is a free update for all current aTV Flash (black) users.</p>
<p><span id="more-3022"></span></p>
<p><strong>Library View</strong></p>
<p>The new Library View now indexes all your media (even if stored on multiple devices) and automatically organizes movies, TV shows and music into easy to use categories. TV shows will also be group by series/season automatically. The original file/folder based browsing will remain intact and working as an alternative option.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/atv-flash-black-movies.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3026" title="atv-flash-black-movies" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/atv-flash-black-movies.jpg" alt="atv flash black movies aTV Flash (black) 2.0 for Apple TV 2 released" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Fully integrated search</strong></p>
<p>The new integrated search tool allows you to search by movie, TV series/episode, song, artist, album or filename. Just start typing and the results will start being displayed instantly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/atv-flash-black-search.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3027" title="atv-flash-black-search" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/atv-flash-black-search.jpg" alt="atv flash black search aTV Flash (black) 2.0 for Apple TV 2 released" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Trakt.tv syncing</strong></p>
<p>This is a great feature if you&#8217;re trying to keep multiple Apple TVs in sync, as if you watch a movie on the first device it will also appear as watched on the 2nd. Additionally, if you manually mark a movie or show as watched on trakt.tv, it will automatically get marked as watched on the Apple TV.</p>

<p>Chances are, you are aware of <a href="http://firecore.com/?atvhacks" target="_blank">FireCore</a> and their work with a product known as <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/atv-flash" target="_blank">aTV Flash</a>. As everyone scrambles to get the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3-jailbreak" target="_blank">jailbreak set for the Apple TV 3</a>, the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/firecore" target="_blank">FireCore</a> team is still hard at work getting the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-2" target="_blank">Apple TV 2</a> software to the best it can possibly be. For those of you who have not yet jumped on board with FireCore, <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/atv-flash-black" target="_blank">aTV Flash (black)</a>, recently <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/06/04/atv-flash-black-1-6-for-apple-tv-2-released/" target="_blank">updated to version 1.6</a>, offers some great features and extras that you should know about.</p>
<p><span id="more-2677"></span></p>
<p><strong>Included Software</strong></p>
<p>For me, the real magic offered with aTV Flash (black) is the software that is bundled and installable via their tools they add to your Apple TV Menu. This collection of software takes a (potentially) pointless little black box and turns into a powerhouse of entertainment! Some of the software included in version 1.6:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/couch-surfer" target="_blank">Couch Surfer Pro</a></li>

<p>A Powerful Browser that enables you to surf the web and stream content from an endless supply of websites. For those who do not utilize the XBMC feature, this is your best chance to stream random video content from the web.</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/last-fm" target="_blank">Last.fm</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This is a great iteration of the Last.fm system. Once installed you can simply log in and listen to your stations. As an added bonus, you are given the option to view scrolling photos related to the artists you are listening to. This gives the feel of a digital jukebox on your television.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-lastfm2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2694" title="atvb-lastfm2" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-lastfm2.jpg" alt="atvb lastfm2 aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/maintenence" target="_blank">Maintenance</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This is the location where you can install any, and all, of the extra software that is available in the aTV Flash software. With an easy interface you can navigate to each item and choose to install or uninstall. For those of you who have installed these items before, using SSH… you will see that they have really streamlined this process greatly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-extras1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2692" title="atvb-extras1" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-extras1.jpg" alt="atvb extras1 aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/media-player" target="_blank">Media Player</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The latest iteration of their Media Player is easily the best yet. With an endless list of formats for your audio and video you are able to stream anything and everything from your hard drive network drive to your ATV2. Seriously, if you own content that this system cannot play you need to throw it in the garbage and update your stuff! Current formats that are supported:</p>
<table width="99%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>Video</strong>:</td>
<td valign="top">AVI, DVR-MS, FLV, M2TS, M4V, MKV, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, MTS, TS, WMV</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>DVD Files:</strong></td>
<td valign="top">VIDEO_TS/VOB, IMG and ISO</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>Audio:</strong></td>
<td valign="top">AAC, AC3, AIFF, CAF, DTS, FLAC, MP3, M4A, OGG, WAV, WMA</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Media Player is designed to work with your Network Media Services. If you have a NAS, another Apple TV that is sharing a library, or even a laptop with movies on it you can get them streaming to your ATV with little to no effort. Simply open the player and it will scan automatically for shared sources. As soon as they are found you can test the connection and then save it.</p>
<p>To make a good experience better, the team over at FireCore has taken a page for the XBMC playbook and given some great new view options for displaying your content. This makes the browsing experience that much more enjoyable! Truly a sit back, relax, and browse kind of setup.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-fetching1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2699" title="atvb-fetching" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-fetching1.jpg" alt="atvb fetching1 aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/rss" target="_blank">RSS Feeds</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Simple and effective! I am not one to utilize RSS Feeds on my ATV, but if you are… you will like what you get. It is clean, and simple to understand.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-rss.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2695" title="atvb-rss" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-rss.jpg" alt="atvb rss aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/weather" target="_blank">Weather</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Weather is another simple little add-on, but it is very polished. The graphics and the interface as a whole are both fantastically pleasant on the eyes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-weather.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2697" title="atvb-weather" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-weather.jpg" alt="atvb weather aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/nitotv" target="_blank">nitoTV</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This option holds a lot of extras that you can put into your Apple TV. There are to many great extras to get into them here… but if you have an Apple TV, you should have nitoTV installed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/nitotv.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2700" title="nitotv" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/nitotv.png" alt="nitotv aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="550" height="319" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/plex-for-apple-tv" target="_blank">PLEX Client</a></li>
</ul>
<p>And the goodies just keep on rolling! Yes folks, this is a PLEX Client. Now you can stream everything from your PLEX setup directly to the Apple TV. Making things even better… you have some great options on how to display the content.</p>
<p><em>Note: Plex client does work on Apple TV 5.0 (iOS 5.1) but it&#8217;s unreliable.</em> Check out <a href="http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/forum/76-apple-tv-2nd-gen/" target="_blank">Plex forum</a> for more details.</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/remote-hd" target="_blank">Remote HD</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Have you ever wanted to use your iPhone or iPsd to control your ATV2? Ever wanted to mirror your ATV2 to your phone or iPad wirelessly? Congratulations, Remote HD is a great feature that enables a host of new features and abilities between your iOS device. I will warn you though… once you get this feature set up, you may never go back.</p>
<p><em><del>Note: Remote HD doesn&#8217;t work on Apple TV 5.0.</del> <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/06/18/remote-hd-updated-to-support-apple-tv-5-0/" target="_blank">Remote HD has been updated for Apple TV 5.0.x compatibility.</a><br />
</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/remote-hd.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2702" title="remote-hd" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/remote-hd.png" alt="remote hd aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/xbmc" target="_blank">XBMC</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The installation process of XBMC could not be made any easier. Simply click, install, and enjoy. I can get long winded regarding XBMC and its features so I would encourage you to check our <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/category/xbmc-atv/" target="_blank">other articles</a> for more info regarding XBMC.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/XBMC-11-Eden-for-apple-tv.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2703" title="XBMC-11-Eden-for-apple-tv" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/XBMC-11-Eden-for-apple-tv.jpg" alt="XBMC 11 Eden for apple tv aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="550" height="311" /></a></p>
<p>There is one new feature that FireCore has made a real point to share as a stand out feature of this release. With that in mind, I will let them tell you all about it:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Integrated Subtitle Downloads</strong></p>
<p>By popular request we&#8217;ve added one-click subtitle downloads, courtesy of <a href="http://www.opensubtitles.org/" target="_blank">OpenSubtitles.org</a>. Now instead of spending hours searching for the right subtitles they can be easily downloaded right from your Apple TV in a matter of seconds.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-subtitles1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2704" title="atvb-subtitles" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvb-subtitles1.jpg" alt="atvb subtitles1 aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="550" height="309" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The Bad?</strong></p>
<p>The title of this section is a bit misleading. In the end, I found nothing bad with this release. However, I had two “hick-ups” that I would be remiss to exclude them. In a total of two hours of use, I had the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Repeated “Disconnected” error on my HDTV. This only happened after some time was spent in Couch Surfer. This eventually went away.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Couch Surfer, though it is a fantastic piece of software, falls victim to the same issues I find in the PS3, and Boxee browsers. They all fall victim to the infamous POP UPS. Anytime I visited a streaming site that used POP UPS it would take over the browser and I could not find anyway to close those windows specifically.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS</strong></p>
<p>If you own an Apple TV 2 and you are not one who likes to mess with SSH, terminal Commands, or anything else that techy… THIS IS FOR YOU! This software makes it amazingly easy to install all of the tools you need to get the most out of your little black back!</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> Once the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3-jailbreak" target="_blank">Apple TV 3 jailbreak</a> is available your aTV Flash (black) license will cover both Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3.</p>
<p><del>We will be running a <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/atv-flash-giveaway" target="_blank">giveaway of aTV Flash (black)</a> soon. Stay tuned!</del> <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/06/19/giveaway-win-atv-flash-black-for-apple-tv-2/" target="_blank">We are giving away 10 free copies of aTV Flash (black). Get it now! </a></p>
<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/32099148?portrait=0&amp;color=ab1100" frameborder="0" width="500" height="281"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Installation Process</strong></p>
<p>FireCore could not have made the process of installing this software any easier! Once you have downloaded the aTV Flash 1.6 you will have two simple requirements:</p>
<p>1) Ensure that the Apple TV 2 is Jailbroken.</p>
<p>2) Ensure that the Apple TV 2 is plugged in.</p>
<p>Simply open the software package, once it is installed on your system, and locate your Apple TV form the drop down menu on the right. If you have multiple Apple TVs in your home, the devices will be listed with their IP address:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvflash1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2678" title="atvflash1" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvflash1.jpg" alt="atvflash1 aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="640" height="483" /></a>Once you have selected your device simply click continue. That is it. You will soon see a Completion Screen followed by your Apple TV rebooting. Once done you will want to start installing software.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvflash2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2679" title="atvflash2" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/atvflash2.jpg" alt="atvflash2 aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV – Supercharging Your Apple TV (Review)" width="640" height="483" /></a></p>

You can learn more on Apple TV 3 jailbreak status <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/05/13/apple-tv-3-jailbreak-status-update/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Here is a tutorial on how to use Seas0nPass to jailbreak and tether boot your Apple TV 2 on firmware 5.0.1:</p>
<p><strong>Pre-launch checklist</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Download and install the <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/" target="_blank">latest version of iTunes</a> (check for updates through Software Update located in Apple menu).</li>
<li>Download <a href="http://files.firecore.com/SP/Seas0nPass.zip" target="_blank">Seas0nPass for Mac</a> [10.6 or later] or <a href="http://files.firecore.com/SP/Seas0nPass-win.zip" target="_blank">Windows</a> [XP or later].</li>
<li>A micro USB cable will be required to complete the jailbreak.</li>
<li>Disconnect any iPods, iPhones, and iPads from your computer.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Jailbreaking</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Unzip the &#8216;Seas0nPass.zip&#8217; file and launch Seas0nPass.</p>

2. Connect the Apple TV your TV like normal (power, HDMI and wifi/ethernet). An active network connection will be required (the &#8216;In Theaters&#8217; option under &#8216;Movies&#8217; should be visible).<br />
