Although  MegaUpload was taken down by the U.S government IceFilms still has functionality! Link now includes instructions / link for Navi-X but due to the frequent issues, I can only promise that I will try my best to resolve any issues you encounter as many of them are not user related but IceFilms related.

*Note* You are required to watch the videos on top of reading the instructions.  I suggest just sitting back and enjoying the watch and then attempting this.

UNTETHERED JAILBREAK RELEASED FOR Version 4.4.4, follow the exact guide below, however, before doing so, connect your Apple T.V 2 to iTunes and click “Restore” It will take it to factory settings and update it to 4.4.4 and then you can do the process as described below!

(skip to 4th paragraph to start JB)

I was completely underwhelmed with my purchase of an Apple T.V 2.  Shortly after picking up my iPad 2, I thought that I would be able to use AirPlay on a bunch of apps and view them on my HDTV.  Aside from a few select apps this is not possible! In fact all you need to do is purchase the $45 HDMI adaptor for mirroring (everything you do is put up on the big screen) that they sell, it is wired and you don’t need the Apple T.V for that.  I realize that in future updates to the iOS they may enable it so that every app can use AirPlay but until then my Apple TV 2 is useless.  I have a PS3, Xbox 360, and a WDTV, at $119.99 Canadian and $99.99 U.S for the ATV2 it is not what I consider to be a good buy especially with those other media devices!  That is until I discovered something known as JailBreak. I have Jail Broken my original iPhone, and almost everyone with an iPhone has at least heard of something called Cydia, but for those who Jail Broke the first iPhone know that it was a much more involved process that was risky.  I’m not saying that Jail Breaking the ATV2 is risky, but it’s not risk free either.  I’m not a computer programmer, but do consider my self tech savvy and thought I could add my take on how to go about Jail Breaking the ATV2. I decided to do some research on it and here’s what I found on the ATV2 and JB.

The ATV2 has an HDMI output only, granted this means only newer generation TV’s can support it, this shouldn’t be a huge factor as many people have this technology now, but something to know just in case. It supports 720P playback but trying to play that file wirelessly from your media server is next to impossible.  Playing YouTube videos and viewing your pictures is essentially all it does.   Here’s where JailBreaking comes in.  By JailBreaking you can begin installing third party apps that allow you to do many more things with your ATV2.  For my purposes I’m going to outline how to get from Jailbreak, to installing Nito, XBMC and then IceFilms.  After that you can search for some other cool third party apps to install, but at least with this you can have literally thousands of hours of T.V and movies to watch.

You need to have a micro USB cable for this to work.  If you have either a BlackBerry, Nokia, or most Android phones then you already have this cable.  The USB power cord that comes with most models it is the wire you require, just take it apart.  You’ll know instantly if it is the correct one.  (The other ones don’t come apart, lol) There are different types of Jail Break’s available, this covers version 4.4.4.

I was going to create my own video, but there are enough video’s out there that I just decided to use them along with some of my own.  I will try to help you to fill in the blanks as I believe there are some important instructions left out.

Do not plug in your ATV2 until instructed!

JailBreaking

Download “SeasOnPass” here

For those using a Mac, ensure that your file stays zipped as Mac’s will automatically unzip your file for you, when SSH’ing this file over to your Apple T.V 2 unzipped it will not be recognized, quick reference in comment  #2 how to fix that here.

AT Step 4 in the Youtube video below when it will ask you to put your ATV2 in DFU mode, without the power cord, plug the ATV2 to your PC with the Micro USB, now holding both PLAY/PAUSE buttons for approx. 7 seconds and then let go.  You should be in DFU mode.  I have JB a few ATV2’s, one time I was unable to get my ATV2 into DFU mode, searching the internet, a trick I learned was to plug in the power cord and power the unit with the micro USB plugged in to the PC and the ATV2, then unplug the power cord only and hold the Play/Pause buttons and it will enter DFU mode.  Remember this is only required if the standard method is not working for you.

AT Step 5 when iTunes opens you have to hold the Shift key and then click restore, then click on the file that was created by SeasonPass, it should be called something like this, “AppleTV2,1_SP_restore” or something similar.

Once completed your ATV2 is now JailBroken and you are now 1/4 of the way done.

Installing NitoTV

Connect your ATV2 to your T.V and turn it on now.

Download “Putty” here

To find your I.P address, connect your ATV2 to your T.V and turn it on, go to Settings, then General, and then About, your I.P address should be listed there.

Start Putty!

xtech’s has created a second more easier to use video, Does the same thing as above, but its a bit easier to follow.

In case you are having trouble following here is the commands he is typing out for you, you can copy and paste them one by one, but say yes to any prompts that come up!

Important Information:  Login: Root / Password: alpine

echo “deb http: //atp.awkwardtv.org ./” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list

“echo space quote deb space http colon // atp dot awkwardtv dot org space dot / quote > space / etc / apt / sources dot list dot d / awkwardtv dot list” (thanks to Quasi_Mojo for clarity, this line is same as above but with spacing added for support)

apt-get update

apt-get install com.nito.nitoTV

killall Lowtide

Congrats, you are 2/4 of the way done!

Installing XBMC

Go back into Putty and run command

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

This will make sure all your packages are up to date before you install xbmc and any other plugins you plan to add. Say yes to any prompts!

You have to wait until it is completed of course, I just skipped the final step because I already had it done!

Congrats, you are 3/4 of the way done!

Installing IceFilms

Now go here and complete Step 1, you have already done step 2 and most of Step 3.

Navi-X Repo (Just download the repo and do the same to it as your IceFilms repo)

Download WinSCP here.

Start WinSCP and put in your I.P address with the Username: root and Password: alpine

Click on Login and then Yes and a window like this will open. The left screen is your P.C and the right is the directory folder of your ATV2

You have to place the file you downloaded called repository.googlecode.anarchintosh-projects from your P.C (keep it zipped, some MAC’s automatically unzip the folder, make sure it stays zipped) into a folder called the “ /private/var/mobile/Media”  on your ATV2.

Now, start XBMC, and follow my video,

From there you should go to Add-ons, then click Get Add ON then click Anarchintosh Addons then click Video Add Ons then click Ice Films.  This should begin the install.  Once completed, go all the way out to where ‘system’ was and instead scroll up to go to Videos then click on Video Add-ons then click on IceFilms.

You will have to download ‘the pictures’ folder (automatically prompts you) and you should be good to go, feel free to rate and if you need assistance comment and I’ll try my best to help you!

Finished! Read below for issues that will occur inevitably and how to fix them.

Updated for corrections June 19th, 2011:  Sorry for some confusion, there were a few errors I made in the install process that I discovered while JB an APTV2 with a friend.  This new version is tested and proven.

Update July 23rd, 2011: Regarding a question below, after everything is said and done and going into the Anarchintosh addon and clicking it, there is nothing there.  You get there by going to System/Add-ons/ Get Add-on/ then Anarchintosh Addons but then there is nothing there where there should be Video-Add Ons and then Ice Films.  Taking the power plug off and waiting 5-10 minutes solved this problem when I encountered it.  Good luck!

Update July 31st, 2011: Added Video to show how to do a full IceFilms install after SSH’ing the repo over and how to fix the Missing IceFilms issue.

Update November 25th, 2011: Some minor changes, added support line to SSH Nito TV below original line for spacing.

Update January 4th, 2012: Added how to stop a Mac from automatically unzipping a file while being downloaded.

Update January 10th, 2012: Added new SSH video with simplified instructions.

Update February 21st, 2012: Added new instruction after installing XBMC (Thanks to  7-Endless from RFD forums for this information)

Part 1

Part 2

Update August 4th, 2011:  The problem for some is that Apple T.V keeps searching for updates and you keep getting kicked out what you are watching at the same point it feels like or 5 minutes into watching a show.  UpdateBeGone doesn’t work.  This is the SSH method.

This seems to be missed by allot of people and as a result some people are updating to 4.3 to stop XBMC from “crashing”…

SSH into your Apple TV 2 using either Putty if your a Windows user or the Mac/Linux terminal

For Linux/Mac users “ssh root@ipaddress” when prompted enter the password, probably alpine if you haven’t changed it.

Backup your hosts file:

Code:
cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bak

If you need/want to restore the original hosts file do the reverse:

Code:
cp /etc/hosts.bak /etc/hosts

Paste the below commands, this adds entries to the hosts file that effectively block updates.

Code:
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net" >> /etc/hosts

If you wish to undo these changes you can use a unix utility named sed via ssh using these 3 lines:

Code:
sed -i '/127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com/d' /etc/hosts
sed -i '/127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com/d' /etc/hosts
sed -i '/127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/d' /etc/hosts

Thanks to ‘bircoe’ from the XBMC community forums for this info!

Update January 16th, 2012: Added a currently Known Bug/Issue Section (see right below)

Currently Known Issues

1. XBMC / IceFilms crashes after 1 hour or so of viewing.  (No known fix Problem has been reported on forums)

2. In IceFilms when playing a T.V show or Movie and cancelling it, will not be able to play another movie or film until restarting (power cycle) Apple T.V 2.  (No known fix)

3. MegaUpload down. IceFilms no longer works. (No fix for foreseeable future!)

4. XBMC Crashes after 3 seconds (Solution!) Upgrade to XBMC: EDEN Beta 2

Eden Beta

No more nightly builds! Eden beta 1 is here! If you installed for the first time today using the above instructions then you already have Beta 1. If not, either update through NitoTV or issue the following commands to update your Cydia copy:

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

ssh root@YOUR.ATV2.IP.ADDRESS

You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine

Continue to enter the following commands:

apt-get update

apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

You should now have Eden Beta 2 for ATV2.

So this guy, Mark Malkoff, goes in to the Apple store and sees what he can do before he gets kicked out.  He does some pretty entertaining things and not only does he not get kicked out, employees are actually impressed by him.  Apparently you can get away with murder, (not theft though) at the Apple store.  And that’s pretty awesome.  Almost as awesome as being at Costco, until you get kicked out…

Now keep in mind this is a clever ploy by Apple to allow people to feel welcome at the Apple Store and not to mention the insanely free publicity.  I think I also saw an overweight Apple employee in the video…(So they do exist)

Watch Video here.

I noticed a HUGE bump in stats on this article, so I thought I would add that this is an old blog that was speculating that the iPhone 5 would have support for these carriers, not only did we not get support, we didn’t get the iPhone 5.  Read my article about it here!

 

And the rumour mill keeps churning!  According to a few sources the next iPhone, whatever it will be called (4s, 5) will have 1700 MHz capability.  What that means is that it will be able to work on T-Mobile, which in turn means that we Canadians will have an iPhone that works on Wind / Mobilicity!  Of course we have heard many crazy things before and this is just the latest in the rumour mill.  But it would be great to have an iPhone to go along with that unlimited text, data, and chat plan you are holding.   Or at least you should be!

Was there a need for Blackberry to make a Tablet? Lets be honest here, the BlackBerry Playbook is a competent device, to avoid an argument from the ‘fanboi’s’ I’m going to say there are things the Playbook can do that the iPad 2 can’t and vice versa. So let’s compare Apples to Apples and Oranges to Oranges. Up against the Xoom and the Honeycomb O.S the Playbook doesn’t really have anything extra to offer. I won’t even mention Apps, both the Xoom and the iPad 2 were out before the Playbook so it couldn’t even boast being first in the market which in turn would have boosted its sales. What should we expect next, a Blackberry Mp3 player or a Blackberry T.V? Research In Motion wants to believe their customers have bought into their culture the same way Apple users have but we know that simply isn’t the case. It takes more then just BBM to have a culture, just ask Google, they know the market is fickle and you’re only as good as the perception of your last product…

Which is why RIM is announcing layoffs, of course when your CEO’s vision fails to meet even basic expectations, it’s the working man (and woman) who faces the consequences. As of this writing RIM shares are taking a beating, it’s probably time for those who know how to trade to buy shares or to start making a move on their positions, but at what point does and how long can a company like Google or Apple stay away from buying out RIM not just for its mobile users but for its corporate enterprise software and for the highly touted QNX O.S that we keep hearing about? I don’t want to say it is the beginning of the end for RIM because realistically iMessage was that beginning and this is the most likely the ‘middle of the end.’

Not all of RIM’s issues are due to its tablet, in fact, its more likely due to the acceptance that they will not meet their revenues from the previous year and that going forward stiff competition from Google and Apple (Galaxy Tab 10.1, iPhone 5 etc.) will only further degrade revenue streams for RIM, whether or not layoffs and any potential restructuring will save shareholder value will be the concern going forward. What RIM should have learned from Samsung is that it’s okay to copy and get sued, as ‘plagiarism is the sincerest form of imitation’ especially when the product you can copy is an outright success. So why bother creating something that is untested and unproven in a smaller form factor when those before you have failed to obtain any significant market share (see other 7” tablets) and when the winning formula is there for you to copy. Oh, I know many of you won’t like that argument, but I say welcome to the real world, where you can’t reinvent the wheel and when you try to innovate something that someone else created 3 months ago and it takes you a year to get it to market and then they release a better version of it before you, this happens. Funny how real life works.

PreCentral is a great place to get some knowledge on your TouchPad, however, for the non super technically savvy, it can be a bit of a challenge to understand what’s what.  (So that’s why I have this blog, Yes I know, shameless plug)  I was searching for a great resource in order to assist people with HP Touchpad’s on what is out there, but also, just because it is out there, doesn’t mean go out and get it as there are implications that you must be aware of.  (Losing kernals, disabling of certain features, not being able to overclock)  So, without creating a new blog for every minor thing that comes out, but being able to link to a resource that gives full disclosure is an important thing to have and I can’t believe while searching for this I kept missing a place I was visiting on a regular basis.  Reddit!


Now for those of you who don’t know Reddit, I warn you, this place can be very addicting, so I take no responsibility if you become addicted to other things while learning about your Touchpad.  So without further delay, I give you the link!

^ Charlie Sheen pun intended!


Why are people saying ‘yes’ to the iPad and ‘no’ to every other tablet device?  If you are like me, and scour the web for all information related to gadgets and technology and then disseminate the valuable content, sometimes at the cost of sounding like a fanboi, (Not that there is anything wrong with that, see my blog a few pages below!) then it should come as a shock to hear that only 100,000 Motorola Xoom’s were sold!  I hate to say it, but even if something is the greatest, if no one has it, unequivocally it has failed.  I’m not saying that Android tablets should be tossed out with the trash or even that they are the greatest, but how does a device that has the same specifications and most even better then the iPad 2, fair so poorly?


Take a look at the ad for the Xoom versus the ad for the iPad 2.








Likewise, I find it interesting that Coke, which holds the number 1 spot for soft drinks (in sales), depicts only their product in their ads. While the number 2, (now number 3) soft drink competitor, Pepsi, shows their product and Coke’s in almost all of their ads.  Has it not occurred to these advertising geniuses over at Pepsi that they are admitting that Coke is number 1 and their grand scheme is to hope one day that you get tired of the best product, and that you will give them a try?!?  Of course that’s not what their intent is, nor is having the most sales indicative of being the best product, but it can be said that people select the best product not with votes or taste tastes, but with the almighty dollar! However, if you want to know who the best is, it seems all you have to do is watch a few commercials on T.V and the trailing competitors will tell you!  Want to know who has the best car?  Watch American companies tell you it’s the Japanese automakers.  How many times do I hear Accord/Camry in a Big 3 ad? Then try to convince me it’s not the best based on the one thing they happen to do better.  Oh wait, that sounds familiar!


Ouch.

What happens when you put someone who is technically savvy but not media savvy at the helm of a company… This. 


Now if you listen to the Apple camp, it’s the death march for Flash.  I have a different take on it.  Apple has basically designed their devices so that everyone who accesses it through their devices has a great and easy to use experience.  They may isolate some parts of the internet, but to the average user they will never notice. Google and its fans want everyone to have access to everything.  This sometimes causes compatibility issues and crashes.  Now it is easy to sit back and argue that within the confines of the mobile apparatus that it would be more efficient to have a device that works on demand and loads pages quickly and uses battery power efficiently but, and I’ll highlight that ‘but’ for emphasis, the onus should be on battery makers to develop more slim and powerful batteries and website developers to develop great content that loads quickly and easily.  I’m not talking mobile versions of browsers either, that in my opinion was like putting duck tape on a bullet wound.  I think the public wants smart phones that live up to their moniker and will give them access to the internet in whole.


If you’ve read my other blogs, I think I don’t have to defend my position on Apple.  I love their products and so do the people in my household.  What will come as a surprise is that I will defend Google today too.  Mark it on your calendar, 03/06/11!


Steve Jobs talks about his position on html as an ascending technology while Flash (he implies) is a descending technology.  In reality it’s about control, anyone who has ever read an Email from Jobs or heard about his legendary arrogance will know what I am talking about.  Its served Apple and its shareholders well to this point, so how do you argue with a man that 99/100 of his ideas are fantastic and that he is wrong about that 1.  The answer is you can’t!


Here’s where I think he’s wrong, according to Apple, the future is in Apps.  What happens if someone creates live T.V on the internet and it uses flash?  It makes sense that if I have a device like an iPad that if live T.V were available and I was somewhere where I didn’t have access to a T.V that I should be able to watch in on my iPad.  That’s the true direction of live T.V and mobile devices.  Here’s where this came to me.  I was stuck, well that’s not fair, we’ll say attending a wedding last Monday.  I have been known to put a buck or two on sporting events.  Having my Google phone, I quickly searched, “Watch NBA live”, I clicked on the first link and bam I was watching the Mavericks and Thunder playing live instantly.  I had a few people around me and they were all amazed that I could do this.  Someone with an iPhone tried and failed, and at that instant, I had made an Apple user feel inadequate.  I hope I didn’t distort his perception of reality and that he will be fine, but I think the writing was on the wall for the poor guy. (Just kidding, I’m sure he will be fine, it was an open bar after all.)  I’m sure you have all heard the jokes out there, that if Apple made Cars…if not, then here you go…


I’ve heard the technical reasons why Apple doesn’t use Flash I’ve heard the practical reasons why Apple doesn’t use flash but while I was doing a Wiki search on Shantanu Narayen it lists him starting his career at Apple and then moving on to pioneer the concept of digital photography with Pictra Inc. until he becomes CEO at Adobe. I think him being an former employee of Apple has more to do with Flash not being on iDevices then anything else, if you catch my drift.

Well its out, and as you can see from the promotional picture to this blog, its out in a lot of countries!  I’m doing some more reading on the subject and will post more information in a few moments, but for now here’s some reading material to tide you over!

Alright then!  So we have all seen all the parodies out there, you know the one from Mad T.V depicting the iPad.




Or the other media various media outlets  that make fun of the iDevices we have in our home.  It begs the question, at what point are we buying technology products for their actual worth and are there really such things as Apple ‘sheep?’  Reading through internet forums and even having discussions with sales people buying non Apple products seems to easily solicit feelings on the subject.


So you are sitting on your computer, having a glass of water from the tap. (You know because of the environment and if I had said Coke, all the Pepsi fanboi’s would have come out, but that’s a blog for another time!) You are checking Cult of Mac, Apple Insider, and many of the plethoras of websites out there when you see it!  Apple iPhone 5 set for June/July release.  Quickly you think to yourself, 800 dollars, check, vacation time off work, check, envy of all your friends, check… You get the picture.  But did it ever occur to you, that maybe, just maybe, you don’t need to upgrade to the next one?  At what point did Apple get you?  Of course, you have a smorgasbord of reasons of why you should get it.  But can you list one reason why you shouldn’t?  It may be due to the fact you are a fanboi.  Now, don’t get upset, just because the internet depicts a negative connotation on fanboi’s and the fact they think they look cool sitting at Starbucks drinking their Chai latte’s for $7.  I won’t judge you.  So what if you are mocked, teased, ridiculed by everyone behind your back, and in some cases right in front.  You have it, and they don’t.  It’s them who don’t understand.  Besides, anytime you run into someone else who has an iDevice, they get you.  I get you!


            Maybe I’ve taken a bite of the Apple too.  I want to believe that I am unbiased in my view, because I have Android devices, I’ve used a BlackBerry; I am buying a Playbook too.  But maybe I’m just doing all that to conceal the hard undeniable truth.  That I too have become a fanboi.  (Still haven’t purchased that $7 Chai yet though)  I try to stay objective, I don’t defend Apple at every turn.  Before them I was using phones to talk to people.  Now I think that is the third most thing I do, next to Angry Birds (oh yes I just did) and texting.  Or surfing, the list just goes on and on.  The question I have to ask is, they made the game, and then they changed it but in 5 years or 10 years from now, will they still be at the forefront?  It sounds silly to say the iPhone 10 or the iPod 10 right now, but they will be a reality one day and I hope they have the same impact on my life they do now.




            I promise, I will endure the mocking, teasing, and even the ridicule that comes with being a fan of something, I will admit, I wasn’t there when it was at its low.  I jumped on somewhere in the middle.  For now, I put solace in the fact I will be there with cash in hand for my iPad 3.  Name me what you will, but know this.  I am happy with my iPad 2!  And isn’t that what it is all about?

Alright then!  So you know how to keep your iPad 2 clean and downloaded a few free ‘apps’ from the App Store.  So now what?  What to do with your collection of T.V Shows and Movies?  Chances are that you own some DVD’s or already have downloaded them in digital format.  What you may not have known is that Apple products only play a few specific formats.


Most Apple users have either given up or those who were a bit more technically savvy started using Videora.  Videora is a great program to convert all your files from other formats into something that your iPad 2 can play, but for those of us who have more then 64GB to convert (I’ve got over 2TB!) even with quad core computing power you can only assume this will be a very long process.  On top of that, the last time I checked the largest hard drive available on an iPad 2 was 64GB.  Just having to transfer files back and forth is time consuming.  Deciding if you want to have only new shows on your iPad 2, or a mix, you can spend hours just trying to decide your line up and then realize you still forgot something! If you are like me and want to have all your Movies and T.V with you at all times, this is just not possible on any tablet!  Most of the time when I sit down to watch something, I’m not aware of what I want to watch or sometimes I’ll watch something that catches my interest because it is there in front of me.  With my vast selection I needed something to solve this conundrum.  Air Video to the rescue!


Air Video, not to be confused with Air Play, allows you to install a server on to your PC or Mac and then install the app on your iPad 2, and stream everything from your computer on to your iPad 2.  Without having to convert it first! That’s right, instantly watch anything you have on your computer on your iPad 2.  One more time, watch anything on your PC on your iPad 2. (For the effect)  If you are at home and have a wireless network setup, installation is simple.  You go to www.inmethod.com and to the download section, from there you select your PC or MAC and click download and install the server.  Select which folders you want to use or select all and then go to the App Store on your iPad 2 and download Air Video.  You can choose from the free version which randomly selects a few files on your PC to play at a time, or you can pay $2.99 for the full version of the App that lifts that restriction.  Load the app and it will detect the server on your Wi-Fi network and you can watch your movies and T.V shows instantly. (Did I mention that before?)


Another amazing feature for the iPad 2 3G or with access to another Wi-Fi network and even through tethering is the ability to access your T.V shows and Movies remotely.  Go into the settings menu on the server running on your PC or MAC and click on the remote tab, and click on enable access from internet.  There is a pin that you or anyone you want to allow to access to can enter on the app located on the iPad 2 and with a little bit of tinkering if required, you will gain access to all your T.V Shows and Movies that can be converted live and watched remotely instantly.  If you have any issue visit the forums at www.inmethod.com and you will find that they have a great admin and community to help with specific issues you may encounter with your router.


If you also have Air Play, the feature that allows you to connect to stream Movies, Music, and T.V shows from your iPad 2 using Apple T.V to your HDTV then you are able to use Air Video with Air Play.  They also just recently released a patch that allows you to continue to watch your program and continue to use your iPad 2 to do other things.  It works with their beta server only right now, so make sure to download the latest if you want to use this feature.  (Manually from the forums)  I’ve uploaded a short YouTube video to demonstrate how this works. I love my iPad 2 and will continue to blog about apps and things I find useful.  If there is anything you want me to write about, throw me a line and I’ll try it out! Have fun!
