Most settings are stored in:
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC

Which does not get overwritten with the way we've been doing builds.

Now I've switched to .deb files, which doesn't appear to either.
But I'm using remote mysql library, so don't know about the DB.

What settings did you find were erased?

.ISO playback tested to NOT WORK on AppleTV2 (nor did it work on previous nightly builds)

Platform: AppleTV2. iOS 4.2.1
Build: XBMC-ARM.atv2.012811.zip (GIT 67139e8, Jan 28)
Installed via official apt-get (wiki), then replaced w/ 01-28 nightly.

Problem Description:
Pressed play on DVD .ISO. No GUI response (waited for about 3 mins). On playing second .ISO, window pops up: "Playback failed. One or more items failed to play. Check the log file for details.
Behavior repeatable. Strange since there is a GIT commit that suggests fixing the ISO playback problem.

Log file (two .ISO plays): http://pastebin.com/6Zfx5dpK

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the confirmation.

Sorry disregard my last post. Just noticed your new ssh install instructions Confused

Either way, neither method should erase /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC.

So are addons and skins the only custom data residing in the XBMC.frappliance
folder?

The addons and skins that are under that folder are distributed with XBMC, i.e. they are not custom data and they should not be altered if you want to keep your installation sane.

User installed addons and skins go in

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC

There is really no reason to ever modify the files in the XBMC.frappliance folder. If you do, you will just make it more difficult to do updates.

Thanks Galvanash,
That just joined the dotes for me Big Grin
Makes sense now!!

Great stuff. Just installed the latest .deb with terminal and wget.

How do you tell what version/build is installed? Once the exit options (reboot, shutdown, etc) were bypassed, so was the Info button. (at least in PM3.HD, I'll dig around the other skins now that I'm thinking about it)

Thanks.

On high bitrate sections of mkvs (>10Mb/s) I'm seeing frame drops rather than buffering.

On the 'bird scene' of Planet Earth (episode 1, blue ray rip) I still get re-buffering, but that might be because I'm on wifi. But much more watchable than before.

I am testing PY scripts and having problems with these streams,

rtmp://rtmplive.dr.dk/live/livedr01astream3

I get sound but no picture...

Hi guys.
Just noticed that this rls installs in /private/var/tmp,
as previous rls was in /private/var/stash/Applications.

What if I want to update my current rls? (January 26th)

Thank you

You're only putting the .deb in tmp/ so you can dpkg -i which will put it in Applications/ exactly what youre used too.

Goto System > Right Arrow to System Info. That says build info.
