Hi all,

I looked at the release notes for the Beta 2 release, and noted the added multi-core decoding for windows users. Is that support already in the Linux release, or is it a "windows only" feature?

I'm planning my new HTPC at the moment and of course I will run XBMC Smile

I was going to run Ubuntu as OS, but with the dualcore support in the windows release I am not sure any more..

Multi core video processing is available in Linux, Live and OSX (and windows).

So just choose any OS Wink

Ubuntu it is then! Smile

Hey so if I do a compile from source will that actually also get me this update since its actually a new ffmpeg? Forgive my n00bness Tongue

Said update was already in the linux and os x versions.

All that happened is it was turned on for windows users as well.

Since when is this update in xbmc for linux? I just upgraded my box from Alpha3 to Beta2 and I am surprised of its performance Smile

If compiling from source (as I do), is there any special switch that needs to be turned on to get multi-core support?

- this is not related to that CPU auto-detect gcc option (that was removed) from svn, is it?

No. It's automagical.
