XBMC Live 9.04 (Babylon) RC1!

May 1st, 2009 lcapriotti

A new XBMC Live is released: XBMC Live 9.04 Babylon RC1

Details about the release:

  • Based on Ubuntu Jaunty
  • NVIDIA drivers: 180.44 (VDPAU included on supported GPUs)
  • ATI/AMD drivers: Catalyst 9.4
  • Natively supports MCEUSB remotes
  • New installer script that allows building of XBMC Live USB bootable disks from any Ubuntu-based system without the need of burning a CD and booting from it.
  • New boot script automatically increasing the system audio volume
  • New install to HDD method: the installer creates a standard Ubuntu system on the target disk (a kind of XBMCbuntu…)

Finally, the XBMC repositories sources are already configured and topfs2’s cool script “Aptitude” is included, so updating XBMC to follow the new releases will hopefully be easy!

    Cool, nice one, thanks a bunch!

    I believe the link in the post still points to beta 1 download files, the correct URL is:

    Just an FYI the link does not take you to the new RC1, it still takes you to the last release. Here is the link for the RC1:

    I Love XBMC!

    The above RC1 link is still pointing to the Beta 1 files…
