XBMC Now Available for Jailbroken iPhone and iPad [Video]

iOS: We recently showed you the way to install XBMC to your 2nd-gen Apple TV , but once you’re trying to find a more mobile experience, XBMC has just been released on Cydia for jailbreaking iPhone and iPad users.

That’s right, the complete version of XBMC-not just a streamer or transcoder-is out there for your jailbroken iOS devices. Without delay it’s almost the exact same as the Apple TV version, so it isn’t optimized for iOS touch screens yet, however is totally usable. Add-ons and skins will exercise routine of the box, though the built-in web server is disabled. You are able to, needless to say, still stream movies from your computer or XBMC-based HTPC straight for your iOS device, albeit without transcoding-so at present 1080p playback is a bit troublesome.

The XBMC team is planning on making the app more iOS-friendly, adding touch screen gestures and AirPlay-based features. For now, though, look at the video to look the current version in action. To install it, head into Cydia and go to regulate > Sources > Edit, and add http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/ios as a new source. That you may then head to the teamXBMC repository and install the XBMC-iOS package.

XBMC is a free download for jailbroken iOS devices.
