XBMC 8.10 'Atlantis' released

November 14th, 2008 Team XBMC

Team-XBMC is proud to announce the cross-platform release of XBMC Media Center version 8.10 for Linux, Mac OS X (Leopard, Tiger, and Apple TV), Windows, and Xbox, code named ‘Atlantis‘.

We have reached the end of over 3-months of bug bashing, and have closed 425 tickets for this Gold version release and, while there are still some bugs outstanding, we feel that ‘Atlantis’ is reasonably stable, and thus it is time to move on and get cracking on new features.  We have branched for release, and will maintain this branch with critical bug fixes while we move on and begin working on new features in the main linuxport SVN trunk.

Thanks goes to everyone in the XBMC community who have made this possible by reporting bugs and suggesting improvements.  In particular we’d like to recognise the sterling efforts of Sigurdur Olafsson (a.k.a. Sho) who has been acting release manager for ‘Atlantis’, diligently handling the tracking system on behalf of developers.  We would also like to thank Arnova, SandmanCL and ShortySco of our new Quality Assurance Team for their help verifying bug reports and making it easier for the developers to concentrate on fixing bugs.

Go grab XBMC ‘Atlantis’ and let us know how it goes!

Yours sincerely / Team-XBMC

    Many thanks guys!! XBMC is really the best media center software available for windows and linux, i just hope that GPU accelleration could be added in future releases, other than this, is almost perfect…

    congratulations and keep up the good work!

    there is a BUG, video calibration is not saved (on apple tv).
    after exit, when entering again – you have to calibrate over and over again…

    in rest, OUTSTANDING!

    I´ve been using Meedio for over two years now on my main htpc and MyHTPC before that, running MCE on my bedroom pc and I also tested MediaPortal for a while about a year ago, I decided to give the new XBMC Atlantis release a go and wow I´m impressed.

    XBMC is by far the most polished front end out there. There are still some minor bugs that I´ve ran into on the pc end but it´s still by far much better than other front ends I´ve used. KUDOS to the development team for such an outstanding job.

    I was very impressed with the beta 2 of Atlatis, use it regularly on two pcs, trying out the 8.10 release now to see differences, very happy that XBMC has came to windows, it puts other mediaplayers/centers to shame!

    Have been using XBMC since the early days on Xbox, and now on PC – amazing bit of kit, a lot of large Redmond-based software companies could learn lessons from you guys.

    Thanks to everyone who helped get XBMC this far.

    I cannnot believe my ears. I have been in love with XBMC ever since day 1…when it was XBMP wow. Just can’t thank you guys enough. I don’t think i’ll ever part with XBMC and my xbox even the hardware is incapable of supporting HD streaming. I’m eager to try it out now on my pc…last time i did, it was not stable. Hopefully, it’ll stop me from shelling out cash for that tvix hd m-7000a :D. Seriously, Team XBMC teach suckers how to create a great front end. Long live XBMC. Thanks for the 1600+ DVD+R/-Rs you’ve saved me over 5 years.

    I wish I’d never upgraded my TV to Atlantis (bf1). On the former version the only nuisance I suffered was having to calibrate the screen every boot. Now my AC3 encoded MKV files only work with analog audio enabled. My Receiver displays “Decode error”. Also it takes a long time for it to start buffering video and audio files.

    Been using XBMC (XBMP) on xbox since late 2003. Been using it on OSX for a year or so … had to deal with your little retarded (on both sides) slap fight with osxbmc/plex/whatever. Still waiting for something that “just works”.

    A year or more later and … just full, full, full of simple, minor, usability bugs. You have {} and [] mapped backwards on the keyboard. DVD ISO playback (an old, old, easy, easy feature – no CPU required) is just a nightmare – any kind of fastforwarding or rewinding just kills the whole thing – hangs and stutters and loses sound and regains sound, etc.

    Let’s be clear – I did nothing interesting. No h.264. No mkv. No stressful playback. All I wanted to do was watch a dvd ISO, and that was totally out of the question. I guess I’ll keep checking back – maybe one of these days one of these pre-alpha-test versions (like 8.10 Atlantis) will have working skip/FF/REW in ISOs and properly mapped keys. (US standard keyboard, BTW, so it’s not like I have some weird setup…)

    I have attempted to download this newest version of XBMC, that you were kind enough to provide but I continue to get an error message during download that the version is corrupt and I need to contact the developer. Any ideas? I am on a Gateway running Vista through a dial-up connection, using Opera as a browser…
