Thoughts? Anything missing or should be changed?

Do you have to remove the stuff from your advancedsettings.xml file at any point in this process? That would be a good thing to note.

Has the home theater experience been implemented? Also, it would be cool if there was a way to update XBMC without having to redo all of the settings and adding sources. I'm sorry if there is a better place for this post.

I have no idea what you're asking here...

XBMC is already like that, and it's mentioned in the FAQ. User settings are kept in a different location than the XBMC application. All you have to do is install the newer version of XBMC over the older one, and all the old settings are carried over to the new version.

I guess it is called "cinema experience" now. What I mean is...

Before we had to edit a few lines of code on a few different files in order to get the script to show up when you hit the information button on a movie.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=87563

I know there was a poll to get his implemented into a build but I am just wondering if anyone has decided to do it yet. It makes for a more complete home theater experience with trailers, trivia, custom intros, etc.

Thanks Smile


edit: just found this on the link I posted above

"The script will not be able to control the Auto Refresh adjustment in Frodo. This is due to the fact XBMC Devevlopers have removed HTTP API(an old method of controlling XBMC, it has been on the chopping block for the last two years.) "

Bummer dudes.

The polll was for features of the HTE and there is a list of skins that support it, confluence is not one of them.

I am introducing a friend to XBMC and am a relatively new user myself so I have some questions:

First the hardware description: P3-900Mhz, 768MB RAM, Open GL 1.3 GPU w/GLSL, 120GB disk, ISA AWE64 or other ISA sound card.
I know its ancient but its quiet and it all works properly, even the sleep mode. What do I need to know?
1. Will this setup do 1080i and stereo sound well with Frodo?
2. What disto should I run it on if I want only youtube and URL streaming?
3. Has anyone done a howto on such ancient hardware (ISA sound, AGP graphics, ATAPI storage, etc.)?

Please start a new thread for this. This thread is about working on an FAQ page to help users upgrade from XBMC v11 to XBMC v12.

Noted, I put it here.


RE: XBMC v12 (Frodo) upgrade FAQ - Davidja - 2012-11-30

I've set up frodo whilst keeping Eden (renamed Eden in Program and Userdata).
My problem is that I have lost all my movies. It does a scan through them all (very quickly 250 in 3 mins) but adds none, interestingly the TV Shows (also done quick) are all fine.
I've tried removing and re adding the sources but with no success, any idea whats happened?


RE: XBMC v12 (Frodo) upgrade FAQ - Ned Scott - 2012-11-30

Are you using IMDB as a scraper for movies? I heard they're having some issues lately that should be fixed once the scraper add-on gets updated (if it hasn't already).

Hello Hoping someone could help me please i am running edan 11.0 and my imdb addon is broken if i update to the new beta 12.0 will i lose all my thumbnails and farnarts for my movie collection ? any help on this would be very much appreciated. many thanks


RE: XBMC v12 (Frodo) upgrade FAQ - Davidja - 2012-12-03

Not sure Frodo helps you in this instance, I cant get IMDB working, I dont think the developer has updated IMDB for Frodo yet.
However if you want another install have a look here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=146166 I followed PatK's advice whichj worked well for me. That way you keep your working version intact while trying Frodo. Hope this helps.
