Hi All
Looking at an ATV2 and just want to check a few things before taking the leap.
Plan will be to jailbreak and run XBMC then stream MKV/Music files from computer via wireless initially then NAS drive in the future.
Is ripping DVDs to MKV using MakeMKV) the best option? I dont want to lose quality (space not too much of an issue) but I also dont want to spend the rest of the year converting them all to mp4 (though I will do this to some and put into iTunes if i want to watch on iPhone).
Also I assume purchased AAC files wont play in XBMC? (Althought they do on the Windows version). If I make mp3 version will this get around the issue or will DRM stop this?
Possibly the biggest question does all of the IOS5 features including mirroring work on a jailbroken ATV2? I really look forward to using this and it could be the clincher between recoding the films (which i really dont want to do) to maintain the mirroring/airplay functionality.
Thanks for any help!
