How easy is it to update XBMC to the stable PIVOS one without losing add ons or settings?

Easy enough.
1) Backup your XBMC settings, use the XBMC backup program add on.
2) Uninstall XBMC.
3) Install the pivios XBMC
The backup settings should automatically restore, but only if the old and new version numbers match. ie v12.2 to V12.2. You can not restore from V12.1 to V12.2.

Here's a strange one. Looked though the forum and couldn't find this issue.
I'm on latest MyGica build and latest Frodo XBMC 12.2 build and had everything working well using SMB shares to my windows 7 PC where my media is shared. After a month or so, all my shares seemed to disappear and any media i click on states it's no longer available and do i want to remove it from the library. This is the second time it's happened and last time i fixed it by uninstalling XBMC, etc and starting from scratch. I would prefer not to do this every time so any hints would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Have you tried a full reboot of the box, by unplugging the power cord?
I have this issue occasionally, the network card loses its connection, also turning off the Ethernet in settings and then back on seems to help.
Its also worth installing the XBMC backup utility and scheduling it to run.

Yes, i've tried both of these and no changes. Also tried using wireless instead of ethernet and it's not that. Someone else has suggested i make my Windows PC with the shares on it a fixed IP so i'm going to try that.
Thanks

I'm using the latest nightly, October 5. Since the June-versions already, I have a little problem: every about 3 to 5 days all XBMC settings revert to the default settings. Any idea why and how to prevent that?

Folks, just to give some update...
I received my ATV1200 this week and I bought it from Aliexpress, from the oficial Mygica store. I did some initial (smoke test) with mine and really happy with it. Mine already came with the latest firmware (Android 4.1.2) and XBMC Frodo 12.2 installed (not sure if it's the Pivos or Geniatech one, but I can check later).
I hook it to my LAN through ethernet cable and mapped some NFS mounts from my NAS (Synology DS411j). It scanned the content pretty quick (I heard people saying it was taking ages to scrap the movies). I connected it to an LG 32 LCD TV through HDMI (so not testing passthrough, but I have an Onkyo TXNR-609 Receiver and I can test there too).
I could flawlessly play various MKVs I have off of my NAS (through NFS). These MKVs have DTS/AC3 5.1 audio and I didn't have issues with downmixing to the TV stereo speakers at all. I also played some AVIs (Divx / mp3) and all fine there too.
I installed SuperSU and SSHDroid, but didn't have time to play yet.
The next steps are to change my XBMC preferences to connect to my unified MySQL XBMC library I have in my Synology NAS, and which my main XBMC client (the one connected to the Onkyo receiver) is using. That way I'll have an unified XBMC experience in these 2 clients.
So to reinforce: I didn't touch the firmware nor XBMC. I believe mine was shipped with the latest stuff.
I'll keep you guys posted as I move on with my testing here!

Yes..report back how you go as my setup is just about the same as yours. With a Synology on 4.2 and a shared MySQL XBMC library. I have a HTPC in the main room and this box in the bedroom.
I swing between the Synology apps and XBMC for running media as the Synology Android apps are also great..
