FireCore has released an updated version of their jailbreaking tool – Seas0nPass to support untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 4.3 software update for second generation Apple TV.
Apple had released Apple TV 4.3 software update earlier in the month to add the ability to purchase TV shows on Apple TV 2G, re-download previously purchased TV show content and also support for video service Vimeo.
FireCore made the announcement of the new version of Seas0nPass on their blog:
Seas0nPass has been updated to support an un-tethered jailbreak of the new AppleTV 4.3 (8F455) software. A big thanks goes to comex for helping port the Saffron jailbreak to the AppleTV. For the uninitiated, Seas0nPass is the simplest jailbreaking tool available for the AppleTV, and the first to support the new 4.3 version.
Jailbreaking Apple TV 2G enables users to install aTV Flash (black), which adds new features to the second generation Apple TV that includes: web browsing, Last.FM access, limited support for HTML5 video sites, stream media from most NAS devices and lots more.
FireCore also continues to rollout improvements to the media player that comes bundled with aTV Flash (black). They have released a new version, which includes the following new features and improvements:
- Added more subtitle encoding types
- Added subtitle options (size, color, border)
- Added support for folder cover art
- Improved audio track detection
- Improved AFP/SMB streaming
- Improved chapter support
- Improved .srt subtitle support
- Improved subtitle settings (persistent)
- Improved DVD playback and menu handling
- Improved appearance of Loading/Buffering box
- Resolved crashes when trying to access a broken/unavailable share
- Resolved issues related to displaying metadata
- Other miscellaneous fixes
You can download the latest version of Seas0nPass (and user guides) at seas0npass.com.
As always, let us know how it goes and what you think of the new features in the comments.

ios 5 will be coming for apple tv too?
It needs to, I’m sick of not being able to use my atv2 since the 4.3 update! Nothing streams/downloads, when you click play, it says anything upto ready to view in 3000minutes!!!
Be careful. There is a problem with overflow with the latest version of iOS on ATV2. I wished I had known that before updating.
