Is it worth updating my ATV2s to 4.4.4 or whatever the latest 4.x release is? They're still on 4.1.1 and I guess the newest Plex won't work with it? I've just been using XBMC but want to give Plex a go.

I don't really like the gui of iOS5 but as long as Plex and/or XBMC work fine I might as well give it a shot. EDIT: Anyone use ATVFlash? Is it worth it? I'm thinking I'd rather just pay the $30 and have a one shot software for all this stuff. FCKGW fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Jul 2, 2012 |

Ripping a DVD is perfectly legal. It falls under fair use. What isn't legal is circumventing any type of copy protection due to the DMCA. So if you have a DVD with no copy protection, you can rip that DVD into any format you want for personal use and have no issues whatsoever but if it has an encryption on it then Copy Protection policies supersede fair-use rights. If audio cds had copy protection on them as well, it would also be illegal to rip them but it's a case of too-little, too-late at this point.

Bojanglesworth posted:I have had it with my Apple TV, I have to unplug and plug back in every time I want to use it otherwise I get the "X is unavailable" message. I really wanted to avoid going to the genius bar to get belittled and told that its a "Netflix Issue" rather than having it replaced. Have you even been to the genius bar? They're not going to give you any hassle over a $99 device I assure you.

Billa posted:Theres a new firmware for the Apple TV although I don't know the new stuff it has (except for semi-revamped UI). Looks like bug fixes and one new feature, iTunes Up Next. quote:The previous iOS update for Apple TV was a major one. iOS 5.1 for Apple TV brought with it a host of new features, apart from user interface improvements. Apple TV now supports Shared Photo Streams, AirPlay and multiple iTunes accounts which can easily and swiftly be switched. iOS 5.1.1 for Apple TV now eliminates any bugs that might have been present in the previous update. Also, this update is only available for second and third generation Apple TVs only, just like iOS 5.1 is.

MickRaider posted:Those of you looking to cash in on your ATV2's better sell them fast. No, it hasn't. This is a garbage press release that the website appletv3jailbreak.com keeps buying. I've seen this news spam all over the place the past few weeks, trying to drive traffic to their website. There is no AppleTV 3 jailbreak. Just read the article, the website referenced isn't a "hacking group", it's a blog with a bunch of ads and affiliate links. Here's what nitoTV said just 2 weeks ago.

Raffles posted:Ok so I've got my ATV 2 ticking away on eBay, hopefully I'll make a tidy profit. The question is though, should I hold off in the ATV 3. It came last March and Apple seem to be moving everything to yearly update schedules. Have there been any rumblings of an Apple TV refresh this spring or is common wisdom pointing towards the next ATV being an actual TV set? AppleTV is definitely not a yearly update project, it's still considered a "hobby" by Apple in all respects. Apple TV (1st generation) January 8, 2007 Apple TV (2nd generation) September 1, 2010 Apple TV (3rd generation) March 7, 2012 I honestly don't see a refresh at all this year. The major revision for the 3rd gen was just pushing the resolution from 720p to 1080p and they're not going up any higher.

slomomofo posted:Good lord it's great to have XBMC back in my living room but I second your question... the stock ones downloadable through the "get more" tab are mostly slow as hell. I can't tell if that's because they have too many bells and whistles enabled for the atv to handle, or if the 12.0 port (as of last night) is still too fresh for snappy switches on a large library. I've used a couple but I think the Quartz skin is the fastest I've used that still has some style to it. I know some people love Xeebo as well.

I've looked at ATV Flash but I'm not sure how it updates the media library, can you tell me how it does that? Do you tell it to scan a directory, or does it look every x hours, or does it update on change? If I drop a TV show on a folder on my server I can ping XBMC to update the library but I'm not sure how it works here. I also think I may miss the XBMC library sync now that I finally got it all set up.

Almost nothing has DVD decryption built in since it's against the DMCA and you can get in big problems for including it in your software. There are a handful of software packages that will decrypt DVDs on the fly however, allowing you to use them with handbrake. DVD43 is pretty popular.

mastershakeman posted:My jailbroken ATV2 appears to be totally unresponsive and I have no idea why. I used it for the first time in a week, and the remote didn't seem to do anything despite me being able to see the unit light flash, so I rebooted. I have to tethered boot, so I held down menu+power for 7 seconds, got it to reboot, still nothing responsive. SSHed in , did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, rebooted again. Spent 20 minutes trying to get seas0npass to see the stupid thing, finally back in, still no remote response. Any ideas? The remote clearly works since I'm using it every tethered boot. I had this same issue but I can't remember how I solved it. I think maybe un-pairing and re-pairing the remote might have done it?

Acrolos posted:Is there a way to get access to all of the most current apps (most notably the new WWE app) without updating the Apple TV 2? I'm currently on 5.0.1 and it's been really stable for me for a long time, so I was hoping for some kind of workaround. I think the only option would be Airplay streaming if the WWE app allows it.

I just sold my 3 ATV2s. Put them up on eBay at a $275 BIN and they were gone in a couple hours. There's a couple power seller on there selling them for $380 and they've sold over 600 so far.

They were on 5.2 but I updated to 5.3 with Seas0nPass and installed NitoTV and XBMC on them. They're more valuable if you install XBMC Hub Wizard which give you access to  streams but I didn't want to deal with having to field questions about why the UFC PPV wasn't working or whatever.I ended up moving to a Roku3 w/ Plex instead. If the next ATV supports app installs (like Plex) I might go back

Kinda disappointed there wasn't a single mention of Homekit for the AppleTV. I wonder if those rumors were bunk or if they're still planning some sort of Homekit hub, maybe a refresh Airport Extreme.

Bass Bottles posted:Planned obsolescence is part of Apple's design philosophy. They hold on to new iPhone features just so they have something to show off next year. I don't think it's cynical to assume that, it's just known. That's not planned obsolescence at all.

Hughlander posted:Yah. Calling BS on that an iPhone 3G had 128mb and topped out at 4.2.1 and OpenGL Es 1. If you don't consider three generations of the Os obsolete or unable to play any game on the App Store, I'm not sure what you would. How is that in any way planned? Having a product that still functions at least the same as the day you bought it is not planned obsolescence. Having a product with substandard or faulty components that is designed to fail after a few years is planned obsolescence. Are old cars now obsolete because they don't have air bags, blind spot detection and backup cameras? I still use an original iPhone to play music on in my garage. It suits my needs and does everything is did since day one. It may be lacking in new features but it is no way obsolete. FCKGW fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Sep 13, 2015 |
