As you may have already noticed,jailbreakinganApple TV 2brings a massive wealth of new features to an otherwise mundane little black box.
Not only can youview live sports, stream movies from you Mac or PC, and access weather forecasts, but now you can perform cloud backups, and stream music without using iTunes.
This is made possible with thelatest beta release ofaTV Flash (black), which is a major upgrade to the previously released beta. More details on how you may snag these new features, plus the full change log, right after the break…
Beta 7 includes three key new features, among many other updates:
Music Playback
Stream most files directly to your Apple TV without using iTunes. Album artwork and other data are automatically downloaded using Last.fm.
Cloud Backups
Now you can backup all of your 3rd party settings directly to the cloud to prevent painful “re-setup” after restoring your device.
Metadata Views
Three metadata views when viewing movies assures that you’ll get just the right amount of information for you, whether it’s technical or movie synopsis info.
Full Changelog
If you already have the previous versions of aTV Flash (black) beta installed, a simple visit to the maintenence menu is all you need to upgrade to beta 7. Otherwise, simply follow ourApple TV jailbreak guide.
Personally, I think the cloud backup feature is awesome. It should make resetting up a breeze. What do you think about this latest update?
