Dharma RC2
December 2nd, 2010
Dharma RC2 is ready, and this one is a Release Candidate in the truest sense. There are a few reasons we decided to do one last pre-release:
- Shoutcast support has been redone. Listening to your favorite online radio stations with the shoutcast plugin is now a much nicer experience.
- The add-ons moved out of the testing repository and into their permanent home. This means that everyone will need to upgrade in order to see future add-on updates. If you continue to use RC1 or previous, please don’t report a lack of updates.
- Automatic updates for add-ons are now enabled by default. Of course, you can still disable them via the add-on manager if you prefer.
It has been far too long already, so the final release of Dharma should be close behind this one. If you have any outstanding issues speak now or forever hold your peace!
Head this way for the good stuff.
I have issues with RC1 live distribution. On occasion after fast forwarding a video, resuming, it can be jerky requiring a pause/unpause to get it playing properly. This is playing off Win7 SMB share. Anyone know what that is and if it’s been resolved ?
Perdon por mi ingles uso traductor , tengo xbmc en ubuntu 10.04 se me queda colgado el pc cuando termino de ver una pelicula accediendo a otro pc por samba . Hasta ahora nunca me habia pasado.
Sorry for my English use a translator, I have xbmc on Ubuntu 10.04 is the pc hangs me when I watch a movie accessing another pc by samba. So far I never had happened
Can’t believe I missed this. -> DOPE!
RC2 still has an issue in the subtitle selection screen. My keyboard and remote don´t work. I have to use the mouse.
Thanks
I cannot get RC2 to load at more than a snail’s pace with Win7 64bit. I don’t understand why 9.11 will work no prob but RC2 won’t.

Are you kidding me?! For whatever reason you guys seem to ignore that resume is broken. It still broken in RC2. There doesn’t seem to be any point posting any debuglogs anymore as you obviously don’t care.

And no, it doesn’t happen every time and some containers/encodes work fine. A file can resume fine but later resume 4 seconds later than the bookmark.
RC2 as well as most releases of xbmc on mac has an issue where the player will not remember the language and subtitle default stream setting that you place for all videos and only the video that you changed remembers it
@Hinz
At the RC2 stage, we’re worried about crashers and major broken features. Surely you can understand that a bug causing resume to be off by a few seconds will get the back-seat this late in the release.
Also, you can’t just start playing every compressed video at any random frame.
Hello. First of thanks for this wonderful software. truly loving it
