A Singapore website is selling at RM400 with free postage. Is this a good deal?

AppleTV cost US$99 in the US before shipping/tax. So, for RM400 .. I believe its an okay price to pay.

ok thanks


Added on January 17, 2012, 8:45 pmI have one more question.

I have alot of Movie & TV Show in my iMac. Most of it is in avi and mkv format which I play with VLC in iMac.

If I have all the video file in the iTunes, can I play it (stream it) with my ATV2? I worry on the codex.

There are quite a number of guides out there, search for 'firecore seas0npass' on google and you'll get what you wanted smile.gif

To JB, make sure you've the AppleTV connected via micro-USB and it shouldn't be connected to A/C power. The rest of the guide can be found in firecore's website.

There is easier method to install XBMC but you need to pay for it.. to install XBMC through ssh, here is the guide:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-T...C_on_Apple_TV_2
*
So (as with free method) I nee to:
1. Jailbreak it with 'firecore seas0npass'
2. Install XBMC (media center) via http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-T...C_on_Apple_TV_2


Thanks

Two ways:

1) I believe XBMC can play avi and mkv (haven't test this), if yes, you can mount your iMac filesystem from xbmc. Activate file sharing and use the guide here to get afp running on apple tv2:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=109723

2) Stream it, use Plex or vlc, guide to install plex media server can be found here:

Ok will try. thanks

Added on February 1, 2012, 4:30 pmaceedburn,

I have all my movie in User/My user Name/Movies.

Can I have my imac to share this folder directly (without copying to other folder) and share it to XBMC?

Ok, now, go to XBMC, videos, files. Add videos, select Browse, scroll down for ZeroConfig browser, add your ip address using:

afp://youripaddress .. it should let you add the path.

On mine, my shared Mac machine is listed without me specifying the afp://ipaddress manually..

Have a static ip address assigned to your imac. This can be done in your router.

Nope, my server has a fixed ip. I'm no longer using my tm provided router. Do you have access to the router? If yes, check under network and see if you can have a static ip address there. Otherwise, just change your imac ip from dhcp to static (on your imac setting that it)..

I change at my imac la. More easier laugh.gif hahahahaha. Any drawback?

One more thing, now my xbmc is not nice anymore as got dead file in there. I can seem to delete the whole folder in there. Maybe uninstall xbmc and install it again with nitotv
