Not too sure if this is directly related to Eden, but since updating to V11, I'm unable to watch and .mkv file without it stopping constantly after 3 or so minutes of play. It just stops and is sometimes unable to continue playing from the position it originally stopped (I'll have to fast forward past that point for it to continue). Can't recall this happening in previous versions. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Folks
I have a Noob question. I want to test 11.0 Eden and so installed on another machine and it appears to work like a charm. I now want to install on my actual media center and please tell me if this is a safe approach:
1. on Win7x64 copy c:\users\user1\appdata\roaming\xbmc to flashdrive. Open bottle of beer.
2. install XBMC 11.0 on the machine. And open another bottle of beer.
3. make no chance to media directories
4. play around and stay put with 11.0 if it is working. And open another bottle of beer.
5. if for any reason switchback is required....
(a) unistall 11.0 along with userdata
(b) install 10.1 again and open another bottle of beer.
© run 10.1 to bring up interface and help create user data
(d) exit from xbmc 10.1. And open another bottle of beer.
(e) copy from flashdrive replacing the userdata
(f) open another bottle of beer
(g) restart xbmc 10.1 and pat yourself on the back for brilliant work and take a long swig of beer.

Actually, some of the newer CPUs do have some small performance advantage due to their architecture/design when utilizing 64-bit operations internally compared to 32-bit word lengths and thus it's not entirely absurd to want 64-bit versions of programs on these machines.
I can also see how something like XBMC could utilize huge amounts of memory for buffering applications (smooth fast/reverse scanning, instant icon menus that just 'appear' instead of loading, etc.) if one doesn't mind sacrificing resources for speed (probably prudent on a largely single-tasking home theater PC). I doubt XBMC would bother to support such things, but it probably could if someone wanted it to. I keep hoping for such trivial basic features as video tag support, so I wouldn't get my hopes too high.
Regardless, I too find curt responses irritating. People don't need to be rude regardless of how true something may or may not be.
