I recently was able to install XBMC on my Jailbroken iPhone 4s iOS 5.0.1. XBMC 11.x Eden. After that I added Navi-X and SportsDevil successfully and I am currently watching Live NHL Hockey on my iPhone via SportsDevil. I'm putting together this guide on the process I used and hopefully help some people out. This obviously will only work if your iPhone/iPod Touch is Jailbroken (i'm assuming it is).

First Install XBMC via Cydia.

1. load Cydia

2. go to Manage -> Sources -> Edit -> Add http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/ios/ as new Cydia source

3. go to teamXBMC repo and tap XBMC-iOS to install

thats it, exit cydia and start XBMC from your Springboard.


Next Load Cydia Search for and install iFile.

1. Load Safari (on your phone) and browse to repository.MaxMustermann.xbmc-1.0.1.ForRepoInstaller.zip (iFile will launch)

2. Click Open in "iFile" then select Zip Viewer (there it is /var/mobile/Documents/).


Load XBMC on your iPhone/iPad

1. Select Settings (bottom left corner next to Exit)

2. Select Add-ons

3. Select Get Add-ons/All Add-ons

4. You should now see MaxMusterman's add-ons. Select it.

5. Select Video Add-ons

6. Select SportsDevil then Install (bottom left)


That should do it you have now installed SportsDevil on your iPhone. You can now go to the main XBMC Home screen select Videos/Video Add-ons/SportsDevil. MaxMusterman's Source can be substituted with other sources. At this time I have only tested SportsDevil and Navi-X. But I'm gonna try some others out and will update this post.

Update: I can now confirm that Live Streaming Sports is working via my 3G wireless plan as well as WiFi.
