What I am wondering is if there is much point updating XBMC from 12.2 to Gotham? To do this I would have to install the XMBC app and install Gotham which I am reluctant to do somewhat in case I loose all my user data/favourites etc.

I have read up on what the Gotham build has over 12.2 but in real terms of mainly just streaming would it make any difference?

Thanks.

What a version of ATV1200 you have ? I see 2 versions MX Enjoy TV BOX and Mygica ATV1200 with different boxes

I have the mygica version.

Lots of benefits to Gotham. Too many to list but off the top of my head, Android apps can be launched from within XBMC. Acestream engine can be automatically opened and closed by p2pstreams. External keyboard function properly, ie. shift and backspace. That's just a few. To migrate over, you can manually backup your addons, addon data, favourites, etc. The database folder can not be used but that shouldn't be a deal breaker.

Good luck

Thanks I will look into how you back up all this data before making the switch to Gotham.
