Whats the best way of getting free films and music on the jail broken iPad 3

Thanks
 
It's the same as with non-JB'n devices, with the following enhancements:

- JB video player apps (XBMC and RushPlayer+) are able to access the entire file system - also videos in any AppStore app's Documents directory

- you can easily and quickly move videos between the Documents directories of any AppStore app. (Read the iFile-specific sections at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/combined-article-update-ios-511-ipad-32-cydia-compatibility-list for more detailed info.)

I don't really understand to be honest. I downloaded xmbc but It's asking me for host name, port etc. not really sure I, just a beginner to all this.
 
Look it up on YouTube, music box through cydia

Idownloader through app store



Look on YouTube for both those

Well, frankly, while it's REALLY good, XMBC isn't the most beginner-friendly app.

You need to do the following:

- transfer your videos to anywhere in the file system of the iPad (e.g., var/mobile/Media)

- in XBMC, go to Videos / Files / Add Videos / Browse / Home Folder and there, select Media. Tap OK and enter any name for the source. (You can keep it as Media). Tap OK again. Now, in the same list where "Add Videos" is also listed, the just-added dir will be shown. Tap it and you can already select the video file to play back.
 
Thanks guess. So this is to download films and music for free?

FYI You are not allowed to discuss pirating music, books, videos, etc. on here. If you wanted to know how to play media you already owned that would be one thing, but not how to actually get free stuff.
