Source Code and Development Version
The latest development version of XBMC, (often referred to as “SVN”), is updated as soon as developers commit any changes, and is hosted in Subversion kindly provided to us by by SourceForge. Development version of XBMC is recommended only for developers, experienced testers, or those otherwise interested in compiling from XBMC from source code. XBMC can be checked out using a Subversion client:
Linux, Mac OS X / Apple TV, and Windows branch of XBMC
# svn co http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/
Xbox branch of XBMC
# svn co http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk/
*OpenGL
XBMC requires OpenGL 1.4 hardware support, at a minimum, to function. We do however recommend a ATI/AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA graphic controller that support OpenGL 2.0 or better to fully experience XBMC at its best. Check your graphics device drivers to see what version of OpenGL your GPU (graphics processing unit) harware supports. If your platform of choice is Mac OS X and your system has an Intel chipset (Mac Mini, MacBook or a MacBook Air), then even though the drivers only support OpenGL 1.2, XBMC will run smoothly since most of the required functionality in the drivers is implemented through OpenGL extensions which are still support in those drivers on Mac OS X.
- ATI Radeon R420 (X800) or newer supported, ATI Radeon R700 (HD 4000) or newer recommended.
- Intel GMA 950 or newer supported, Intel GMA X3100 or newer recommended.
- NVIDIA GeForce 6-Series and newer supported, NVIDIA GeForce 8-Series and newer recommended.
