I have been using various devices for home media center and ATV2 is one of the devices that I own.

It has been a while since I have been using XBMC on ATV2 and today, I decided to upgrade it with Kodi.

Instead of upgrade, I have chosen to remove previous installation of XBMC and going with the clean installation of Kodi 14.x

Here is the instruction on how to remove XBMC completely from ATV2:

 apt-get remove org.xmbc.xbmc-atv2

 apt-get autoremove

 rm -fR /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC

 rm -fR /private /var/stash/Applications/XBMC.frappliance

I have been running OpenELEC XBMC on generation 1 AppleTV with CrystalHD card and so far I like it!!!

One of the function that I time to time need is be able to remove added source with the remote but it seems that there is no way to do that – at least I do not know how.

Here is how I do it via ssh.

1. ssh into the ATV1 box
2. vi /storage/.xbmc/userdata/sources.xml and remove from theto the
3. reboot the box.
