AppleTV and watching 1080p video. Howto
Tutorial of installing the driver, library and XBMC version to support Broadcom Crystal HD and view 720p and 1080p files
At one time I did everything with handles, but at the moment there is a script that does everything beautifully by itself. at least, according to the author and feedback on this topic.
first of all, in order to do all this, we need at least some skills using ssh and ftp. And, of course, the previously patched appleTV.

So,
The first step is to remove the Wi-Fi module from appleTV and insert the module from Brodcom. You will find the module on ibei for about $ 25 (price with delivery) by typing the keyword BCM70012 in the search. How to open appleTV and install the module instead of Wi-Fi cards, we look and follow the instructions posted here .
Everything is quite simple, the only thing I can add is that I did everything with simple screwdrivers, as I forgot where I put the torxes ... sometimes ...
Further we presume that you have patched appleTV, i.e. it has access via ftp, ssh, it has a Launcher for XBMC / Boxee installed. Go to the Launcher > Downloads menu and download the new Launcher (3.2.2).
Then go through ssh on appleTV (I remind the command: ssh frontrow @ [IP.of.appleTV]) and give the command (the address is also in the same team, i.e. copy from defaults to .plist):
next step: after this command, SVN builds will be available in the Downloads menu. Download the latest available SVN XBMC build. This is very important, as support for Crystal HD is only in SVN.
Next, download the script to install the driver and library from here (thanks andy ) and throw it over ftp on the same appleTV. go through ssh and give the following command:
We are waiting for the completion of the work of the violin and restart the epltv:
since we have already installed the SVN build, go to XBMC go to the “Settings -> Video -> Playback -> Render method” menu, and instead of the Auto-Detect option, select the “Broadcom Crystal HD” option. If there is no such option, either you didn’t install the SVN build, or something went wrong during the installation ...
well and most importantly: all this is written without any obligation on my part. you do everything at your own peril and risk. good luck
