I apologize if this is a stupid question, but should I uninstall previous versions of XBMC before installing the 'patch' listed in the OP?
The reason I ask is because although the Digital Master Audio, True HD, etc. sound files are registering correctly with my A/V receiver, I'm having problems adding files/updating my movie and TV Shows library. Each time I uncheck the 'Library' option for Movies or TV Shows, XBMC rechecks the option instantly and I'm unable to add files to the library. If I uncheck or recheck the 'Flatten' option, then I am permitted to add folders/files. However, even though I've added folders, the files don't show up in the movie/TV shows library. Using the 'Flatten' radio button, I'm able to view the files but they don't appear in the library and the TVDB information does not pull down the show information from the Internet.
I'm new to the whole XBMC way of doing things, so I thought this 'patch' Windows Installer was an open the executable and the patch would find its way into the XBMC file system. It appears as though the Windows Executable actually reinstalled XBMC over the top of my existing install where I was able to add/remove/update my libraries without a hitch.
I'm guessing a full uninstall, including deleting the XBMC AppData folder will work, but I was just hoping for a little confirmation before I forged ahead.
Thank you, Daniela for your efforts! Ripping Blu-rays and playing them with their full audio and not having to pay TMT5 or whoever an extra hundred bucks is definitely nice...to say the least!
Thank you,
TC
