How to instal xbmc navi-x on your iphone
Guys I used ifile from the xsellize repo in cydia and sent my email via yahoo mail.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Navi-x on the xbmc(xbox media centre)
Follow the tutorial to install and get free hd footie even the 3pm saturday kickoffs, and thousands of hd movies right on your iphone.
A must have for any iphone owner
Please be aware that your iphone needs to be jailbroken and cydia instaled.

Go into cydia sources/edit/add in the box that appears insert the source mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/ios/

Press done button then press team xbmc
Press xbmc-ios and go ahead and instal it.

Press the search button and in the box at the top insert the word ifile. choose the version with the x beside it as this one is free. Go ahead and download it.

Restart your device.

Download the file at the bottom of this page Navi-X_v37_6.zip and save it to your desktop, do not unzip the file leave it as it is. Now open your email and send this file to yourself by adding as an attatchment.
On your iPhone, open up your email and open up the attatchment you sent to yourself by pressing the box it is set in. Keep pressing until a box comes up which says open in "ifile". Press this box and ifile will open up on your iphone.

On the ifile screen there is the file we just sent there called Navi-X_v37_6(1).zip. Press it then press unarchiver then press done.
press the Navi-X_v37_6(1).zip. button again and hold it down. You get two options select and select all. Choose select then hold down the Navi-X_v37_6(1).zip. button again and choose the cut option. Then press done.

Now press the mobile button then media button then press the edit button and then the + sign at the bottom of the screen. In the box that pops up type in navi x then press create, then press done.

Now scroll down the page and click on the naxi x folder you just created and a blank page appears, touch the screen and hold till the paste option comes up then press paste.

Now restart your iphone.

Open up the xbmc icon on you iphone and let it update itself it takes about 1 minute. When done press the settings button at the bottom left of page then press the add ons button then press install from zip file then press home folder then press navi x then press
Navi-X_v37_6(1).zip.
The zip file will instal itself onto the xbmc program.
Press the home button top right then press programs then press Navi-x
Press the naxi x portal button and start browsing through the stuff on there, i recomend most viewed 24 hours and most viewed last 7 days.

Dudes you have to have your ipad in landscape mode or you will not see those files, and click on the cracked ifile, some parts of the tut are a wee bit off, but on the hole it's pretty much spot on :-)

Mick try yahoo mail that's who I'm sending the zip file with and I've done about 10 iPads in the last week.
Yahoo mail open an account send the attachment to yourself.
Also make sure you follow my tutorial to the letter pressing the done button where I state.

The Ifile is the xsellize repo version(the one with the x)
Add the xsellize repo by adding it in cydia the address is cydia.xsellize.com/

Its easier to add additional sources (including navi-x) this way

in XBMC go to file manager, and Add Source (you need to hold two fingers over Add Source so the new window pops up

Add this repo
http:// sinfulxbmc.imacrepo.com

Name it sinful, or whatever you want, back out of it.

Then go to System, then Add-ons then install from zip file, and open the "sinful" link you added previous, you can then install 1channel, Icefilms, Sports Devil, Video Devil, anything you want.

Once installed via zip go to Get Add-ons then All Addons and just install what you want.

Then in Videos go to Add-ons and all your channels and repos will be there.

if that doesnt make sense google "fusion XBMC" it'll explain with pictures

Go to settings, then skin change from touched to confulence you get a straight bar menu, instead of the 4 squares. under the system you then get a drop down with file manager,from there follow the instructions from soundDave and away you go, saves the emailing etc

I'm finding that xbmc has no AirPlay button and stutters very badly when you use the mirror mode through apple tv box.

For those just wanting to watch movies check out iTheaters in cydia which has apple AirPlay support.

really struggling to set this up mate finding it much easier to just import the zips through email and Ifile.

If you could do a full tutorial and post it here. Remember it has to work on idevices.

That means its a dead link try another host. They don't all work you need to search around for the ones that work.

Istreamnet on Cydia is excellent for all tv shows and free too.

Billy there is no AirPlay with navi x unfortunately and the mirror feature doesn't work very well either.

Itheatres(cydia) is very good for movies and all support AirPlay.

The sports streams seem to be on air when the sport is live.
Try looking for streams in the last 7 days or last 24 hours categories.

After jailbreaking for the first time ever last night for IOS6.1 I followed your step by step guide but no XMBC ICON appeared on my homescreen. I get the following errors at the install stage

GPG error: http//mirrors.xmbc.org ./ Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA2

Failed to fetch
http//mirrors.xmbc.org/apt/ios/ . /Packages.bz2 Sub-process /bin/bzip2 return an error code (2)

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones have been used.

Can you please help? I have tried to do it a second time but again get the above eroors.

anytime i add the source in xbmc, i receive an error

Could not retrieve directory information
this could be due to the network not being connected
