Archive:Install Kodi on Apple TV 2

See also: XBMC for iOS specific FAQ

Requirements:

• To install XBMC for iOS you must have a jailbroken Apple TV 2 with software version 4.1 to 4.4. See here to find out what version you are currently running.

Notice: XBMC on iOS is a work in progress. The available versions are the Cydia build and the latest nightly build. The Cydia build installs an older version of XBMC and anything else XBMC needs to run. The latest nightly contains the most recent XBMC code and is created daily by an automated build bot. First install the Cydia build then install the nightly build. Do not use the Cydia build without updating to the nightly builds as it is no longer supported.

Installing from Cydia

After XBMC is successfully installed, the ATV2 will restart, and XBMC should then be available as an option in the ATV2's main menu

This is the same build installed from the nitoTV menu, if installed.

To install the Cydia build:

1. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2:

   ssh [email protected]

2. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
3. Continue to enter the following commands:
4. Issue these commands in your Terminal window, in sequence:

   apt-get install wget

   wget -O- http://apt.awkwardtv.org/awkwardtv.pub | apt-key add -

   echo "deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list

   echo "deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list

   apt-get update

   apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
