As you all may already have noticed, we are moving everything over to git, and away from subversion. As excited as I am about moving to git, doing so for AE has been heaps of work, but after 3 days of work, it is finally done.
For those that are interested, the branch is located in my git repository on github here:
https://github.com/gnif/xbmc
To get a copy to play with run:
git clone git://github.com/gnif/xbmc.git
Now for a list of improvements...
The crash on video start has been located and corrected, it was due to the GUI sound being in progress and the sink being re-opened, causing the GUI sound samples to get re-sampled to the new sink parameters, so a rather hairy one to track down and correct, got that, good
Also GUI sounds are no longer truncated when playback starts, so you don't get the 1/2 swish sound when you choose a file.
Locking has been improved in the software core, and the AE sink, so CPU usage is down even further, and av/sync is much improved, it may even be possible to reduce the ALSA periods even further but only testing on various hardware will tell.
Davilla has said that he will be giving AE some OSX love very soon too, which i think is very exciting.
Failry new to all this build-your-own stuff, but managed to pull-down from git, with the instructions above. However not sure whether I've missed something, but do I have to additionally compile an executable to run the app. If so, can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
EDIT
Sorry ignore me - should have searched WIKI first - instructions are there.
