10.7? Or still 10.5? :P

Please don’t forget to add latest translation. I’m just a little bit late because of my holiday. Now on Trac (Turkish Language).

Will there be a PPA be made available for Linux? That way we can join in with the testing without having to compile ourselves

Awesome! Looking forward to it!

Just to thanks you for 3 screen support ! xbmc rocks again in my media center !

Nice! This release will be great. Sounds like it’s getting close. Can’t wait to try out a beta. :-)

@Red Tape Media
It will be done when its done. Isn’t it better it rocks when you have it than being a buggy pile of shit but done now? You can’t have both :)

@topfs2 Sorry, wasn’t a dig at length of time it’s taking, was more a question of what the release would be called. If I want I can always get nightlies. Didn’t mean for it to be taken the wrong way.

Can’t wait to try it out. Huge XBMC fan. Thanks for everyone thats involved with this release.

Heh – I deliberately didn’t put a 10.0X number on the branch name :p

We love you, guys, keep up the good work! :)

/Happy Dance. Though the last SVN I grabbed is pretty stable and bug-free for me, having an official release is comforting.

Hope Transparency! comes out in the add-ons soon

Sorry for the crazy question I’m sure but why not build both the Trunk and the Dharma branches?

I know that the Trunk will pretty much sit still for a while with very few large alterations happening while all the developers focus on the clean up of bugs and so on on the Dharma branch but still having both branches build should keep confusion to a minimum as any updates to the trunk can actually be tested after the official build process rather then having to rely on a possibly slightly different build process with all the complications associated with it.

Other then that I can’t wait to get my hands on the next stable release so far XBMC has been absolutely wonderful and only getting better with every new release so I’m very much looking forward to having an even better XBMC soon.

where’s possible to download binary drahma branch for openSUSE 11.2 ?

We switch to Dharma only builds simply to ensure everyone focuses on the release – without folk using the release branch it will never get as stable as it needs to be. It won’t be a long release cycle.

Great, looking forward to the release :)

Dharma OS X is coming soon right?

Is ther any PVR-Support included in this release?

What is the all the “buzz” about the Dharma release? What’s new and different from the current stable release?

You guys rock! can’t wait for this one… gonna see if I can get my Dad setup too :)

Absolutely stoaked about this new release :) Thanks for everyone to who is working on this.

Build for Fedora 12 and 13 are available here: http://hansvon.homelinux.org/fedora/

This is just awesome I’m just starting to get familiar with XBMC and now there will be even a completely new release !

Keep it up, XBMC FTW

@Red Tape Media
Oh, ok. Sorry for barking at you then :)

First test on Win…. this is just IMPRESIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

umm .. with the dharma branch split off .. how does an enduser like myself who doesn’t compile his builds get nightlies ?? i figure for windows/osx someone will be building them and posting them .. however i also use *nix on one of my htpc’s and i’ve noticed that the team-xbmc-svn ppa has been sitting stagnant for awhile now

also, for the past few months i’ve been happily content with camelot final and never bother using svn until recently. i know that one of the new features for dharma will be the addon manager, and also prolly some under the hood skin engine things. Could one of the dev’s just put together a quick list of other new features to focus on?

see the roadmap on trac.

@Tom

I’m also curious about this

Hmmm having a problem with an Xvid, great green screen :(
Old Dogs (2009).avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 720 x 384, 23.98 fps, video: XviD, audio: Dolby AC3 (6 channels, 48000 Hz)
On xbmc 9.11 no problem. (vdpau enabled)

Thank you very much!! Nice job!
Best regards,
rafa

I presume that Dharma will incorporate the PVR testing2 Live TV addons? I notice not much action on testing2 branch lately, so assume
it is being merged to trunk for Dharma.

Can someone tell me where I can get (svn or git) access to the Dharma branch for Linux?
It seems windoze/OS X gets first look which I think sucks ..

Is this it??

svn checkout https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/Dharma

bmentink you assume wrong

@bmentink no PVR testing, see http://trac.xbmc.org/roadmap for a list of features.

This Dharma Initiative I like :P Great work! Also great work on the Android app!

Yes, need Linux binaries. My mediacenter run on Ubuntu 9.10

Awesome yet again, been using this project since XBMP and you’ve all done amazing things. Bring on the Add-Ons eh?? :)

This is looking great! Thank you VERY much to everyone involved…….

Quick question: Is there ANY way to use a skin like Transparency! that hasn’t yet been added to the add-on section?

Sad that PVR support seems to be dropped for this release … any chance that tvheadend/vdr-support will be available via addons for dharma?

What does this mean on the Dharma roadmap for Live Specific: “Include the HTS Tvheadend PVR backend client by default”. Does that mean that there will be a PVR addon in Dharma, but only for TVHeadend (which is all I need personally)?

@Phantasize

Yep.. just put the files in the addon directory and change the name to skin.transparency..

Please implement in the future version seamless (gapless) video playback.

Great work guys! Can’t wait.

I love XBMC and decided to give up my satellite receiver and build an HTPC incl. XBMC. Don’t wanna be a smartass, but if I read comments correctly, the most requested feature for XBMC – PVR Frontend – isn’t even going to be implemented in the upcoming release.

Honestly, I don’t get it and that spoils it for me big time.

I read XMBC is aiming for a new release twice a year (realistically that’s one release a year.)

So, I am grateful for this amazing project, but gutted that the biggest thing seems to be missing.

btw, is there news when the new release can be expected?

There is a reason for why this has not been implemented, this is an open source project,
where the coders are not getting paid for their work, but do this because they like it. Therefore they
focus on the things that they think is most important, not what someone that gets the software for free is wining about.
If anyone wants something so much, I suggest that they get their hands dirty and start contributing.

To the coders I just want to say thank you guys so much, I really appreciate all the hard work you are putting into this, and I am really looking forward to the next release :)

PVR functionality is left out intentionally due to the fact it’s not stable enough yet. The upcoming release focuses on Addons, which will be used for PVR stuff as well.

@ lucas, we’re only human beings and we do all this work in our spare time. priorities had to be made. pvr depends on add-ons. add-ons had to be done first. i don’t get why this is so hard to understand…

@spiff,
No worries: There will always be a few people that will be disapointed, no matter what you do. I would have liked the PVR function to be there as well, but… I will just wait for a future version that will have this feature.

I really think it’s unbelievable, that a great product as XBMC is available for free. I have showed it to quite some people, and a lot of them have bought ION based systems, and have installed XBMC on it. Most people are also staggered to learn that this is a “free” products.

Just keep up the great work, and we all know: The new version will be released when it’s ready :) :)

The fastest way to get the PVR functionality released is to get it, test it, and provide feedback!
