anyone know how to turn of the on screen display of the cpu and memory usage?

Thanks! In download!
Just today I will donate my xmas gift to my brother: a brand new home theater with attached a Linux box with XBMC ;-)

@zistra

Use O (on windows) to toggle that information

Check out @margro’s amazing work on the PVR front end here http://www.scintilla.utwente.nl/~marcelg/xbmc/prebuild.html Really really pleased with Dharma – thanks guys!

Wow, thanks a lot! The Shoutcast add-on is working really nicely now. :)

Sorry if I am being stupid, but where is the download for RC2 live version. I have clicked the link for Head this way for the good stuff, which takes me to the file repository, and I can only seem to fine the download for osx, nothing for live or windows. Has it been removed?

Never mind, I managed to download it. Thanks

At first I was very happy with Dharma RC2, but with playing my first movie (upnp with PS3 MediaServer) it crashed. HELP!

“f you have any outstanding issues speak now or forever hold your peace!”

Well I don’t know if it’s “outstanding” but it’s definitely not something I’d like to see in a final product : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=657355#post657355

Can´t wait for the finale version! Thank you guys, for this big present!

I checked out the changelog and it only seems that the AVAHI daemon has been added. Can anyone tell me why we have Bonjour support in XMBC?

We use it to announce servers on the network. This so remotes for example knows xbmc is available and how to reach it. So zero configuration for remotes is one of the big reasons, iPhone remote uses this IIRC. There are lots of other clients that could use this information to make your life easier!

Small problem playing videos when folder names contain danish chars æøå. Works when I rename the folders :o)

Missing deinterlace option when using DXVA.

Is it possible to get this patch added to the final release?

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10809

Thread discussing it here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=80247

It basically allows to have a global audio offset for those pesky 24p audio/video out of sync issues.

Is there any guide to the shoutcast changes?

Has the ambx issue being worked on? It randomly stopped working on a build one time, no luck since

I’ve got still problems with stutter in MVK files with DTS audio, when I change audio during playback to AC3, the stutter is gone :-(

Is the rc2 lacking of the HD video accelerator option found in previous releases ? 720p movies and tv shows on playback appear freezing and segmented…

The only outstanding issue I see is that when using a shared MySQL library XBMC still hangs when on another network. If I disable my wireless NIC it starts up fine, but if I am connected to my work Wifi I can’t launch XBMC without changing advancedsettings.xml. It seems that a simple timeout would solve this issue.

On windows 7, if adding videos on a NAS, movies do not scrape properly when using the UNC (ie. \\nas\foldername)

However if I map the share to a drive letter, the movies scrape fine.

This issue did not happen on Windows XP.

Tested by doing a clean installation.

NAS is a Synology DS1010+

also can’t disable subtitles via remote by clicking on the speaker icon while playing a movie.

can only disable them by pressing ‘t’

thanks for the hard work!!!

I am new to XBMC….Does XMBC allow the USER through the WEB INTERFACE…Select a Movie….then Download the Movie instead of playing it?

Can the issue with the xbox 360 controller led constantly flashing in XBMC Live be fixed for the final version? Perhaps using a different driver would fix this?

@paaja
I forgot to mention that it is related to Asrock ION 330 and XBMC RC2 Live.

Hi guys,

thanks for the amazing work. The only problem i have is that hd trailers need to buffer every 3 seconds on a 20mbit internetconnection (wired).
I setup the imdb scraper not to get hd trailers but fallback on the imdb trailers, which the scraper ignores.
sd trailers run perfectly and would be good enough for me, but it seems i cannot get those with the imdb scraper
does anyone else have that problem?
[Zotac Ion Ubuntu 10.10 minimal, tried with all the dharma releases.]

Thanks guys for this great software! Update from RC1 went smooth as expected, and shoutcast really is a *lot* better than before. Thanks again!

Hi and thanks for a nice program!

I posted some thoughts for RC1 which i think is still valid for RC2:

I have notice some possible improvements:
1. When using playlists, the songname is not displayed but rater a hex code (01$88576.mp3)
2. In some modes, using the remote control it is not possible to escape using the exit buttom so I need to use my mouse instead to hit the X. One example is if I accidentally hit the “power off (shut down, suspend, etc..” buttom where I can´t undo without streching for my mouse. This problems also occurs in situations like add source etc…
3. In 9.11 it was possible to add links to plugins (now add-ons) directly under videos, music and pictures which provided a direct acess to live tv stations and shoutcast etc. It would be nice to have that feature again.
4. I like the “favourite” bar where i can add shortcuts, but I think it would be more convinient to have it located in the same way as video, picture and music to provide faster and more logical acess
5.when typing search strings or lable links from my keyborad and hit “enter” a new character pops up rather then executing my command

Thanks again for a very nice program!

@koop : I think a theoretical 2.5MByte/s might not be fast enough for a HD stream. Can you stream it fluently with other software?

sebak: they work from my windows pc..they buffer in the beginning for a few seconds but after that the stream fluently. xbmc buffers every 5 seconds which makes trailers unwatchable.
but like i said lower quality videos would be fine too but the imdb scraper keeps adding the hd trailers.

@KennethC
And everyone else asking for patches. This is a _release candidate_ which entails NO feature additions ONLY bug fixes.

Hey guys nice job, love the program. Any thoughts on a 64bit version of XBMC?

@topfs2

Right. The proposed patch is a bug workaround.

Since upgrading my XBMC Live from camalot to Dharma RC1 and now RC2 i can no longer automount sub storage drive, and my usb dvb no longer works (it’s on light does even come on). I’ve tried adding the diskmountenable (can’t remember exact tag) thing/tag in the advancedsettings.xml no luck? Any help with this?

Keep getting Assertion Failed errors when certain episodes end. 64 bit Windows, File: mathematics.c Line: 80, Expression: b >= 0.

RC2 Live on Zotac IONITX-A-B — Still no sound… Haven’t had sound since Beta 2… and I’m only trying to use Analog stereo…

Too much to ask for a little sound? :)

Any chance of getting in this one-line bug fix: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10799 for Dharma final? The specified sort order for in album-type smart playlists (e.g. Order by “Artist”/”Year”) is currently being ignored and defaults to only sorting by album title, this patch fixes that.

All my .mkv files experience low frame rates in xbmc. They work fine in mpc-hc though. Is there an option or quick fix for this?

I spotted a problem with non Unicode subtitles. In particular when I try to use ANSI subtitles, I see unreadable subtitles even though I have tried to set up xbmc for Greek/ISO and Greek/Windows.

@forcedalias
I am running xbmc on the same system and it works fine. Analog + Digital Audio.
Maybe you should play around with your asound.conf?

B U G :
Hi, there is still a bug from Dharma Beta1. It is automatically switched to Library Mode in Music. If I switch the Library Mode off, it will be in Library Mode next time I open Music. It does not remember. Many have the same problem and I have reported this bug several times.

A main feature of xbmc is the trailer scraping for movies from the library.
It doesn’t work with me and a lot of other people around here.
It should be fixed in the final version!!!!!!!!!

Devs check out the ticket: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10757

I am using XBMC RC 2 with stoli/mcborzu’s excellent Neon skin. I am very happy.

I have 2 problems though, 1 minor, 1 big.

Big problem, when selecting a movie rather quickly the system locks up. This also happens when clicking shutdown fast.
Minor problem, my music is being played random, I cannot find any option to disable this, maybe I am idiot with this one ;)

All in all, happy camper here, props to everyone who made this dream possible!!

Still have some some issues with mvk files and DTS audio on my ASRock 330HT. Other then that, it,s very smooth. Great job!

Hi !!!

I’ve installed RC2 last weekend and so far it works great !! I only had a few problems with IPv6 (using XBMC over an Ubuntu system, not Live), but nothing that I could not solve by looking at the Forums (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=83339&page=6&highlight=network+problem+dharma) . Although I think it would be a good idea to deliver the final SW with IPv6 already disabled. I can imagine that to have to dig onto the forums to see how to solve known problems could be a little bit annoying for some users.

Anyway great job guys !!!!

tripkick: thank you for posting that ticket! I have exactly the same problem, appletrailers work fine but normal hd trailers found by the imdb scraper are not watchable…trailers found by my alternative german scraper (moviemaze) work fine (but are not hd)

Still i few bugs to sort out. Maby its not a bad ide to release RC3. I can wait for the final.

No one can do something with the timer problem in linux version?
see this thread:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=85170&highlight=timer

Good work guys. But two things are missing at the moment. First where is the awesome Mediastream Skin? And second the possibility to resume a movie or video after stopping don’t work.

@fiveisalive

Another bug with the album-type smart playlists. Currently xbmc attempt to display album playlists as if they were song-type playlists, my patch fixes this:

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10868

should easily apply against Dharma and trunk.
