Kodi v5.95.3 build for AppleTV

[chewitt]

Having done the v5.0.8 build it was simple to convert and extend the patch set to the openelec-6.0 branch although I do owe beer to ultraman for guiding my non-knowledge of c++ through the process of modifying the crystalhd driver for v4.1.x kernels. The result is a working build but for me it doesn't behave as nicely with 1080p content as v5.0.8 with the crystalhd card active. If you're using SD media or don't have a crystalhd card (or it's disabled) everything works perfectly fine (as always). NB: This build uses the v5.0.8 unofficial addon repo as v6.0 unofficial addons are no longer compiled for i386 machines.



PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THIS BUILD. I HAVE RELEASED v5.95.4 WITH HUGE IMPROVEMENTS

NB: As with all XBMC/Kodi major version updates it is recommended to do a hard reset via the OE settings add-on after updating to prevent settings incompatibilities and to give things a general spring clean. Always make a backup first. Your failure to make a backup is not my problem!

Once we release the 6.0.0 final build I will publish an update.

Do I need to restore my apple tv 1 back to the original factory restore settings before I can put the new build on.

I've only tried it once and ended up losing an atv1. So I'd be scared to do it again!!!

No need for that unless you have "pink tint" flashes at startup that you want to remove via an HDMI reset. Otherwise the first action of the installer is to nuke the recently restored OS so there's not much point in making the effort, and even if you do have pink tint it's (annoying but) harmless. NB: Also no point being scared. You cannot "lose" an AppleTV via OE because we are simply software and all software (including the Apple OS) can be reloaded.
