Awesome program. I’m ashamed to admit that as an I.T tech of many years, I’ve never came across XBMC. That is until Tony Northup referenced XBMC in his book “Windows 8 Inside Out”.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s bye bye Windows Media Player. Will also install XMBC on all customer builds.

Having only recently found XBMC I cannot believe how good this is and I tip my hat to all the people who have made XBMC, you all deserve a knighthood.

Sincerely

how bout fixing this SUBTITLES issue: THEYRE ALWAYS ON — CANT TURN IT OFF, or they show up even when not listed in the subtitle menu “none”

@Chris

Thanks for the reply! I am unable to install Git skins where it says something about dependencies not being met. I think I can wait for releases. Again, thanks for the response!

@GartimusPrime

If you still want to give it a go, do a search for dependencies in the Aeon Nox forum: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=141458&page=105
I don’t recall off the top of my head what had to be done, but I believe it was a pretty simple.

@tezza
Yes tezza, I’ve seen that already. I’ve got an apple tv3 and can only AirPlay mirror, but the screen is half the size for some reason , so was wondering if they’ve enabled, proper airplay meaning when you double click home button scroll left click on the apple tv button it will play it in full screen format. That is what I ment when I asked for more details.

Are there any bug fixes in this release candidate?

I’m having no sound and fast playback issues on some over the air broadcasts. I’m in Australia, using Windows 7 and TV Scheduler Pro and the sound is passed through to a receiver via HDMI. The issue shows up on files containing Dolby Digital AND saved in DVR-MS. Saving as .TS fixes the problem. Also, the files from channels broadcast with MPEG2 Audio are fine, even when saved as DVR-MS. So somehow, the Dolby Digital is not being detected properly when in DVR-MS format.

Suggestions: Read multiple XMLTV files (i.e. one per channel), control TV Scheduler Pro (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tvschedulerpro/) for PVR.

@nedscott

yes, can you see: There is no way of turning subtitles off.
and as i said, in M2TS, not sure if MKV containers – Subtitles get loaded even when XBMC says there’s no sub… so how can you turn that off?

still audio volume increase bug after switching video files

After installing it can’t start XBMC at all…

wasapi multichannel audio out video slowmotion bug not fixed yet. 200ms video delay with 24Hz video refresh rate is also here. However there are workarounds for such a problems. Except that XBMC Frodo rocks. Thanks for the best media center software ever.

I guess you didn’t read the link I posted. If there are subtitles and XBMC is saying there are no subtitles then either one of two things are happening. One is that you are in the wrong menu and are looking at the subtitle add-on menu instead of the audio settings menu. The other is that the subtitles are apart of the video itself and not a separate track. I watch a ton of subtitled content and can assure you of this fact.

@Shaz
Yes, see http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=IOS_FAQ#iDevice_output

Minendid only run once but after install i changee the volume level with
The audiomixer, after reboot only ubuntu logon screen. After a few tries, i didnot change
The volume level with audio mixer. Then every runs fine, also
After a reboot. Asrock ion @exzez

Awesome work folks! Your the best!

What is the beste way to update my eden final release to Frodo 12 RC1 on a windows system?
I want to hold my settings?

Wich controllers you improved support for?

@JdeB
It will make a lot easier to get help if you may elaborate on the hardware that you have XBMC installed on.

@nedscott

1. why is there a subtitles menu if its not showing embedded subs ???

2. why would i look in the audio menu for subs??? that makes NO SENSE.
–
as my comment was not showed:
3. when adding music source, it should automatically scan to library ! just like videos. it makes no sense having to right click.
4. why is there separate “clean library” choice? when library is updated is should do cleaning also.

The actual m2ts subtitle issue is identified here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128935 and here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=148019 and relates to subtitles with the forced flag not being shown when ‘Enable Subtitles’ is turned off. Fixes appear to be included in latest ffmpeg code which needs to be incorporated.

Hate to say it, but your Betas were better than your RC, way to many bg and fully broke the remote. I’m going back to Beta till the next release

xbmcbuntu rc1 Don’t work with my radeon hd 3850 agp and my radeon hd 2400 agp

@Majin
That’s a different issue.

@Jonzey
1, 2. Everyone agrees. A subtitle GUI options revamp is planned for after v12 is released. Until then, there are instructions on how to do it, which is why I gave you that link.

3. something to look at after v12. Music might seem similar to videos, but under the hood it is a totally different monster

4. that’s a very bad idea. When someone cleans the library and there’s a network connection problem, XBMC will remove all entries that are on network shares because it can’t connect to them. Keeping the two options separate by default (they can be done at the same time via advancedsettings.xml) is a safety feature.

If you believe these things are so easy and they must be done right away, then by all means have a go at coding the changes.

Upgraded from Eden, Frodo RC1 is working well for me under Windows 8 X64 (no Explorer.exe running).

IR Remote, Sound etc all upgraded. Had to set my speaker configuration back to 5.0 though, the upgrade seemed to set it to 2.0.

Great work guys, you’ve done a fabulous job. Hope you enjoy the festive season!

@hakarune
The vast majority of users are having less issues with these later builds. That’s not saying you are not having any issues, but if you don’t tell us about them then we can’t fix them.

@razerf

xbmcbuntu rc1 don’t work but openelec 3 beta 5 no problem…radeon hd 2000-3000-4000 don’t support catalyst >12.6…

Installed the APK on my tablet. Works great! One remark though. The subtitles addon don’t work with 1Channel . After trying subtitles with 1Channel the subtitles addon with the regular video’s on my NAS don’t also work anymore.

@Jonzey….had the same problem you had on some of my movies. It is because there was, in the folder where the movie was, sub file in the folder…I believe it was an M2TS file….like a txt file. I removed those txt files and the closed captioning went away. Some CC is just there like in the case of some Veetle streams. Check your folders and see if you have those files.

will not hang up needs hard reset to watch 2nd tv show

@nedscott
ok got it now, thanks,

no i dont think its easy, but it would prevent normal people when things are not in logical places.

Congratulations, I am very impressed with Frodo. I am using XBMCbuntu and raspberry pi version.

Does your program send any information about content on my home server to anyone ?

one word! FANTASTIC!

greets from germany :)

Thank you for your hard work.!!! :-)

Is there any info on the supported android hardware?

After failing to get any of the earlier nightlies for android to run stable, I was getting my hopes up for RC1.
:-( Unfortunatly I get black or flickering screens…

Acer Iconia A511 Tablet, Android 4.0.3

Just installed the Frodo RC1. Having an issue right off. XBMCBuntu 12.0 RC1, AMD Installed twice.

When it initially boots it takes me to a log in screen. I type my password and choose XBMC. The screen flashes between the XBMC loader and XBMCBuntu loader and then dumps me back to the Log in screen again.

I installed once with log in automatically checked. When this issue came up I reinstalled fresh with it unchecked. Same thing.

If anyone has come across a solution to this, please let me know.

Hello
I was wondering when Frodo (the full release) will come out???

Mike :

XBMC automatically tells your Grandma if you have any porn. Other than that, no.

@Jonzey
You can disable subtitles by clicking the sound icon while the video is playing and unCheck the box that says enable subtitles and then hit the set as default for all movies.

@Jonzey
Try the audio menu…

Any one else also having the following problems:

- DVD menu’s do not work
- Audio/Video synchronization on my ZBOX nano AD10 is off by about 200ms. No issues on my ASRock 100HT

I just tried my first xbmcubuntu install a few months ago. It was still Eden, and I’ve upgraded it to Frodo. AWESOME program. Thank you for everything that you guys do. Next thing I’ll try is to install it on my Acer A200 tablet.

XBMCbuntu doesn’t work with amd integrated hd4200. Flickers, then XBMC shuts down. Error log produced but no reason for the crash on it. Deleted all user settings, tried install twice as well as live, still doesn’t work. Seems many are having this problem. Hanging for PVR functionality :-)

Im also curious when is it planned :)

can´t wait to have the final version

@Jonzey
Do you have .srt files in the folder? These are the files where the subtitles are coming from, delete them and you’ll no longer see subtitles.
