I'm trying to assemble a looping lobby video system with lots of little videos in 720p and so far Apple TV just won't do it. I'm wondering if the perl add-on will allow me to do this, but so far I'm getting nothing.

Does anyone know of a way to turn on both HDMI and component outputs, or if someone is working on this ?
