I really like the live version over all other versions, but i really need the new options (auto adjust refresh rate...) included only in SVN verions.
I tried to compile xbmc live like i did on a normal linux version but xbmc.bin did not compiled.
How can i upgrade xbmc live to the svn version ?

couldn't you just do a apt update from SVN after install?

The svn repos are not uodated after a major release just before new release schedule.

Whoa!
Will this allow support for the newer chipsets like Intel G45 and nvidea 9300/9400?

hz: actually you might run into some problems that way. The better way to do it is to pass the desired install dir to ./configure as outlined in the wiki

Sorry if I ask very dumb question, but shouldn't it work if I compile XBMC from source in my desktop PC (running hardy as well) and copy over to the flash drive which is running XBMC Live?
I've tried this, but no luck.

go to xbmc shutdown menu choose exit xbmc.
hit ctr+alt+f2 and log in
Add sources to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list
Code:
sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list
and paste this in
[HTML]deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ubuntu hardy main[/HTML]then run
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
install subversion and download the xbmc source to your home directory
Code:
sudo apt-get install subversion
cd $HOME
svn checkout https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC
cd XBMC
./configure
make
sudo make install
Now run
Code:
sudo rm -r /usr/share/xbmc
sudo mv /usr/local/share/xbmc /usr/share/
sudo make install
reboot. that should do it.
cheers
This method
used to work, however it stopped working on a minimal karmic xbmcbuntu style install, since the newer svn ppa greater then 28276.
doing the way its posted here the compiled version is never run, infact only the old xbmc previous to compile ever runs, which defeats the purpose of compiling.
can anyone confirm and prolly help on and perhaps help fix this?
Greatly appreciated...
*edit any compile from svn trunk only works in full desktop, only looking for a minimal install xbmcbuntu style fix.
