FireCore Releases aTV Flash (black) 1.7 With New trakt.tv Integration

FireCore just announced the release of aTV Flash 1.7 for Apple TV. This new updates brings a handful of new features including trakt.tv integration which will track the movies / shows you watch and make recommendations for others you may like…

According to FireCore’s website:

With our trakt.tv integration on the Apple TV, watched movies and TV shows are automatically ‘scrobbled’ back to your trakt.tv profile. You will also have the option to submit ratings for each video right from the Apple TV menu. Support for 2-way sync is also in the works, and will be available in a future version.

The new integration is definitely going to bring a better viewing experience to your jailbroken Apple TV 2. And don’t worry, trakt.tv is totally free to use as they said above.

As for the Apple TV 3 jailbreak:

Unfortunately the jailbreak for the 3rd gen Apple TV has proven to be a bit elusive up to this point. Work is still ongoing, and we’ll be sure to announce any developments as they become available.

So… no good news in that department. I think the Apple TV 3 has become the hardest iOS device to jailbreak thus far, and no signs point to anything happening anytime soon.

• Added trakt.tv integration (scrobbling and ratings)
