& have you thought about a GPS Software integration, or a way to embed a GPS app?

The One Voice VOIP option is cool, but you can only use Skype with it.

I’m updating to Alpha 2 right now through apt-get on Ubuntu 9.04, so I guess the answer would be “yes” :-)
Looking forward to see how everything works out now!

Lebro :
Hi, I am running vista home premium x64. It is impossible to install DirectX 9 that XBMC requires. I ran xdiag and vista already comes with DX10. If I try and download dxwebsetup, it fails saying “a cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted” and fails. I have admin priviledges
finally, I came across a few sites where some MS MVPs explictly mention that vista DX cannot be downgraded.
XBMC seems to rely on a specific DLL version so it does not work with DX 10.
Any help?

You are not downgrading anything and that you have dx10 or even dx11 has nothing to do with the fact that you have to update dx9.

Try downloading the redistributable dx updater: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=04ac064b-00d1-474e-b7b1-442d8712d553&displaylang=en

what do you think the forum is for? this here is only for commenting the article, not for bug reports and moaning ;)

I tried several things:
a) cleared my temp,etc and re-downloaded to eliminate download corruption
b) tried stopping and re-starting crypto service

The reason I want to upgrade is because the new XBMC displays my canon CR2 raw files while the current stable one does not (I can’t compile from source – I use the binary distro)

Installing it on my Acer Revo was problematic, kept getting read errors for some strange reason, the ISO was OK as I tested it on a virtual PC. This maybe due to the way I burnt the CD used the inbuilt Windows 7 burn ISO option, eventually it work.

Issues with HD content stuttering appear to have been resolved, so thanks.

Previous problems with Audio music playing back too quickly is resolved all my MP3’s and music video’s play at the correct speed.

Strange problem with an ISO movie. BOLT when starting the movie in previous versions the opening DVD menu would be display perfectly in this version I had a black screen with white box highlighting the options, not graphics or text display just black background with white box, selecting ‘OK’ the movie started OK. Whilst the movie played approximately every 10min there would be a 1 second where the display & audio would become corrupt/distorted, this was constant throughout the film and lasted just 1sec. I’ve checked CPU load and networking and they are all normal, it doesn’t happen on other films even HD’s

Feature request, can AVHCD format films be supported, the currently versions play the individual media files in the STREAMS directory but the film stops at the end of each file and you have to restart the next stream manually.

Thanks for all your hard work, it working great.

I think that the Live XBMC installer will be much better if there will be a manual partition possibility, Why you don’t make it? Imagine that someone (like me) have a partition /home, all my films are there… If I install the live CD it’ll erase all the partition…

It’s very difficult to add the partitioner of the ubuntu for example?

Thanks!
