Overall Conclusion: A move in the right direction, but Beta 2 is seriously hobbled by a lack of support by 3rd party developers and apps like Plex that used to work on Beta 1. I personally don't like Last.fm and would have preferred Groovy to be working or to see a port of Spotify/Pandora, etc. A very simple implementation, but functional. Would have been much better to detect other less-used Apple Remote events.ĭoes what it says on the tin. BBC iPlayer detects it as iPad, but the browser does not respond correctly to the Javascript controls and the video is not playable, despite it working great on the iPad.įinally, navigating between pages is a nightmare, because you have to use a menu to decide to go back a page or to enter a new URL. The new User-Agent=iPad feature is a move in the right direction, but some sites just do not detect it correctly. However, the browser can be controlled using the iOS Remote app free from the Apple AppStore. Couple this with occasional misalignment of the clickable area of links with the actual elements and it makes for a pretty nasty experience. The main issues are: rendering problems, lack of memory for intensive pages, poor support of HTML5 video, Javascript appears to be borked, text resizing is glitchy, the header bar is annoying and mouse movement isn't fast enough.

It reminded me of the pain of using the old PSP browser. Not the world's greatest browser, probably one of the worst.

However, Install Software is a great feature to have available and will no doubt improve when aTV Flash (black) hits gold release. Generally, a lot of the nitoTV apps found via the search do not work and may damage your installation.

I tried manual install methods and nitoTV install of Plex and wasted many hours. Plex definitely does not work with Beta 2 - avoid at all costs as it will get you into a restart loop.
I successfully installed netatalk so that my Mac could see the appleTV filesystem in Finder. Would be better if nitoTV updated their compatibility filter for aTV Flash (black) Beta 2. Featured plugins do not all work on Beta 2 and some (e.g. It covers a range of debian packages, awkwardTV (nitoTV etc.) and Cydia repositories. Install Software feature enables new plugins and processes to be installed via a fairly nice menu and search facility. Would be much nicer to see a decent HTML rendering of each feed. The display of RSS news items is fine on the main list page, but digging into the articles results in a nasty text-only page. Once again, removing RSS feeds has to be done via SSH and crashes the plugin. However, it is possible to install the Main Menu Weather extension from nitoTV, which also requires a different cryptic location code, but is more informative. Also, adding a new location requires you to find the ID for your location. Instead, you have to edit files on the AppleTV via SSH and the plugin crashes when you remove items from the plist file, requiring the jailbreak to be re-activated. The only gripe is that it is not possible to remove the default locations or any new added locations from the screens - no remove feature. Weather plugin has limited features but works fine. Initial thoughts are that it is hideous to jailbreak, but the aTV Flash install is very straightforward. Running AppleTV 2g 4.1 (iOS 4.2.1) tethered jailbreak with nitoTV bundle and aTV Flash (black) Beta 2.
