I upgraded today to:
ii xbmc 2:12.0~git20120929.1627-4423385-0precise XBMC Media Center PVR Xvba Edition (arch-independent data package)
ii xbmc-bin 2:12.0~git20120929.1627-4423385-0precise XBMC Media Center PVR Xvba Edition (binary data package)
When I boot and choose kernel 3.2.0-31 I end up at a initramfs prompt. However 3.0.0-26 boots just fine. Any suggestions or should I even worry about it?
sounds like a grub error. something probably did go wrong with the upgrade, but it has nothing to do with xbmc.
try update-grub
@guilmxm:
Please retest with Confluence Skin. This seems something skin (AEON NOX) dependend. AEON Nox was recently updated and some users had other focus Problems.

fritsch
Yep you're right no focus issue with confluent, that's related to aeon skin!
Thanks

Yup. Thanks for the advice. Worked perfectly.
I compiled eden-xvba version from scratch today and seem to have a gcc4.7 related compile error, that was not there with gcc4.6 before (I want to stay with 4.7 however) - any hints?:
Code:
CPP xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDPlayerAudio.o

nice! thanks
I found a similar hint before via google, but added the include into the wrong file...
Now it compiles further, but hangs here:
Code:
CPP xbmc/music/tags/MusicInfoTagLoaderCDDA.o
MusicInfoTagLoaderCDDA.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool MUSIC_INFO::CMusicInfoTagLoaderCDDA::Load(const CStdString&, MUSIC_INFO::CMusicInfoTag&)’:

I already tried to go for master branch via git, but there it hangs already at configure:
checking for TAGLIB... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.
but libtag devel is definitely installed - or can I disable taglib? simply via --disable-taglib?
Last month master worked here...
@tomtomme:
Yeah - you are not that into reading :-)
After bootstrap do:
Code:
make -C lib/taglib
sudo make -C lib/taglib install
and btw. remove your libtag-devel to not confuse the Linker. xbmc needs taglib 1.8 which is nowhere packaged yet.
Hi guys....
I didn't follow all of your improvements but did something happen with HD Audio and MPEG2/4? Any news about AMD and it's drivers?
@fritsch:
aha! ^^ it started compiling... - many many thanks!
I often saw switched package names like that when comparing different distros - so libtag was the only package available for suse and i thought it is the same - what are the devs thinking giving their packages so similar names? O_o
but that may be a philosophical question
@tomtomme:
I hope you did not forget to supply --enable-xvba and put the amdxvba.h into /usr/include/amd directory.
@Robotica:
In short: no. AMD "is on the way" to release a new SDK, that should bringt MPEG2/4 support. But yeah, they told us since approx 6 months now. Recently phoronix had an article about new SDK. (

For Audio I don't know, as we are not actively working on fglrx audio. New AudioEngine can transcode DTS-HD, TrueHD to AC3 just fine - so it is not of high priority for me anyways.
