Hi.
I am currently running the XBMCbuntu 12.2 stable version but i want to try the Gotham nighlies.
I have two questions. If I share my library with a windows client (Gotham) and update the library from this. Will the library stay updated on the XBMCbuntu (12.2) version?
The reason i'm asking is because the changes to the Gotham nightlys the fixes the FoV-releases of the series 24.

This issue has since been fixed in the XBMC 13 Gotham alphas and nightly builds.

Will the scraped episodes remain in the library or will the 12.2 version f**k it up? Tongue

Otherwise how do i upgrade my XBMCbuntu version to the latest nightly of Gotham?
The gotham machine will update the database to the gotham dB version. it will leave the frodo database there and the frodo machine will continue to use it.

If you scrape from the gotham machine the gotham database will be updated. If you scrape from the frodo machine the frodo database will be updated. They will get out of sync.

So frankly you are better keeping all clients at the same version.

You can get gotham from a number of ppas I think, but I have been using this one:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin

I have run this update and it's installed xbmc v14 alpha 1!!!!! What repository holds the nightlies for Gotham beta 1.
My kid was moaning that xbmc was crashing when playing a movie so when I checked I was rather surprised to find version v14

This has changed now. Do this:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove xbmc xbmc-bin
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin
