- problems getting mouse pointer visible when XBMC is not active application. Both in fullscreen and windowed mode. Combination of hiding XBMC (from the menu) and choosing items from menu bar may bring the pointer back
- Keyboard shortcut for "Hide XBMC" minimises its window to Dock rather than hiding
- video playback difficult due to repeated "seeking", causing up to a few seconds of delays whenever jumping backwards or forwards or changing playback speed
With regards.

I confirm - here the delays are sometimes even longer. Quite annoying.
Try the 32-bit version that was made Nov 4th. Some of those issues should be fixed there.

Seems this happens in XBMC v12.2 with OSX 10.8 as well.

I dont know if some one pointed out already. This build does not support external video players.

For which OS? If Android, this is a pre-existing issue and not a regression (which is what this thread is for).

Please forgive my ignorance Ned, but why cant xbmc versions that support external players be used for further R&D?
It is so much smoother streaming.

External player support for XBMC for Android is already being worked on for a long term, proper fix. The short term fixes aren't suitable for inclusion in the XBMC v12.3 bug fix release.
As far as XBMC for Android is concerned, anyone who wants a smooth expierence is much better off running a
nightly build (wiki), which brings hardware video decoding to the majority of ARM chipsets out there. That's far smoother than using a clunky external player set up.

Proper support for A10 requires help from Allwinner directly. We asked them several times for help, and in the end they strung our devs along and lied to us. If we could get A10 hardware video decoding for XBMC that was stable, we'd welcome it.
A20 and A30 sound like they will work on the latest
nightly builds (wiki) because even Allwinner decided to support better methods of hardware video decoding.

I am shocked for someone to release an android box and not support hd video. I will test the nightly today.
What about TELEchips? I have a equiso stick as we'll and it 12.2 frodo seems to work sometimes it has problems. Think nightly or Gotham might work better on it?
I love the work you guys are doing.

BTW on my quad core RK3188 I use MXPLayer on Frodo and it plays HD absolutely wonderfully.

The latest MacOSX 64-bit (osx/xbmc-20131101-0536b03-Frodo-x86_64.dmg) works fine in my Mac Mini 2009 (Intel Core 2 Duo - Nvidia 9400M) under Mavericks 64-bit in a first impression. The 12.2 stable version didn't run

No one cares. Now please keep this thread on topic.
