@raymw: no prob, i have tried that version but the back button takes you right back to the start and not back one step. There is a newer version that this is fixed, however it does have a crackling problem on very loud scenes. i have seen this issue in the Jan Geniatech version, Coreys version also. Also the screen borders screw up when changing to 1080p, but from what i have learnt recently there is no advantage changing it to 1080p.

Spada Spud, that is no problem with the remote all you just need to do is to change the remote.conf file to the correct one which I do with all MX box versions of Frodo anyway so I get the ideal remote settings I want depending on make and model of box. There is a lot about that on this forum, easy and quick to do. Also I personally have absolutely no sound problems with this 12.3 version either and that alone is a big reason why I like it. So maybe a hardware related problem as indeed may my AC3/DTS audio probelm wiht my Denon HT though it is a brand new model.
As to screen calibration well I do that with all versions for both 720p and 1080i though I normally leave mine in 1080i even though it may only be up-scaled it looks gorgeous on my now 3 year old 46" Samsung Series 6. So I honestly have absolutely no issues with 12.3 as I said so is my preferred version still.
All I really very much need now is this surround sound AC3/DTS audio problem sorted with Gotham 13.1

Ignore my comment on the screen screwing up.... I decided to check it on another screen. It seems that it was my dell(dell s2409w) monitor was screwing it up not the box.

Install sshdroid then edit /etc/remote.conf and use keymap editor add-on in XBMC. You need to make filesystem writable with mount -orw,remount /system

Hmm bobones something weird indeed if your AC3/DTS works fine to you Panasonic and you really switching to full 5.1 surround ?
Tried everything I can think of here with both the ATV1200 box settings in 13.1 and my Denon AVR 500 too. Crackling sound very loud and more of a rushing sound with staccato over the top but no required audio heard in the background either and Denon will not show any auto switching to DD or DTS. As I said same material with same model ATV 1200 boxes using Frodo 12.3 build of 2nd Jan 2014 works perfectly but not 12.4 or Gotham builds.
Can anyone help me here please ??

I have an ATV520 so I'll give your build a try to let you know if the wireless works (even though I don't use it on my setup).

Good news and bad news (but not that bad!
Bad news first: No wireless that I can see on the Network Manager under Programs. Is that where I check? There seems to be no settings under under System/Internet access that I can see.
The good news: You build installed over-top of my old build, keeping all my settings intact. Also, I can now ssh in with Putty! This is the first build of Gotham that I've been able to do that with! I just rebooted the ATV520 from this machine to test it, a handy feature to have.
When you sort out how wireless can be activated, I'll be happy to test it for you, but preliminary shows that your build is sound otherwise.
Good work!

P.S. Anyone know why the 'shutdown' command doesn't work on these boxes?

Tinker: thanks for testing. I would think Network Manager should just start working if the Broadcom stuff is correct. I tried a quick compile after I enabled the option, but maybe a complete rebuild is required. I'll upload another tomorrow, but if that doesn't get wireless working with the 520 then I guess we're just going to have to wait.until someone with real skills gets on to it!

OK, we'll see if wireless works on the next build then. Is there anything else that needs test with this build now that I have it up and running?
