Updating
Updates for stable releases of XBMC are handled by Cydia and will show up in the "Changes" section when available.
Development builds
Nightly builds
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.
Installing from the command line
- Change history: trac timeline or commit history
NOTE: You MUST install the stable version before you can install a nightly build. You only need to install the stable version once and you don't need to uninstall previous versions to upgrade (or downgrade) XBMC.
- Open http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/ in a web browser and copy the url of the most recent file in that listing.
- EXAMPLE:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios.deb
- EXAMPLE:
- Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following commands:
ssh [email protected]
- EXAMPLE:
ssh [email protected]
- EXAMPLE:
- You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
- Continue to enter the following commands:
rm -f xbmc*.deb
curl -O -L URL-FROM-STEP-1-HERE
- EXAMPLE:
curl -O -L http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios.deb
- EXAMPLE:
dpkg -i xbmc*.deb
rm xbmc*.deb
And you're done! You should now have the latest nightly build of XBMC for iOS. See here to verify your XBMC version.
Monthly builds
Installing a semi-stable monthly build is the same as installing a nightly build, but with the url in step 1 replaced with http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/darwin/ios/
Installing from a GUI
Opening a downloaded deb file (from Safari, for example) using iFile from Cydia, will also allow for installation.
Uninstalling
Uninstalling just XBMC
You're all done. XBMC will now be uninstalled from your iDevice. If you want you can also uninstall XBMC-IconPack using the same method.
Removing settings
XBMC will uninstall from your iDevice 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:
- From the terminal, run
rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/
- Or
- From iFile
Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/
