Bug-fix Release: 10.1
While we are moving quickly to get new features into 11.0, the time has come for a maintenance release for Dharma. We recommend that all users update to 10.1 as soon as possible to increase stability.
The main focus of this release is to address a bug that could cause XBMC to freeze when updating a skin. We have held back skin updates from the main repository because of this, but now that it is fixed, they will begin rolling out in a few weeks.
This is intended as a bug-fix release only, no new features have been introduced. Notable fixes include:
- If an in-use skin was updated in Windows, XBMC would freeze
- Some RTMP streams in Windows did not play
- Included add-ons have been updated
- The correct referrer is now used for downloading add-ons, improving dependency statistics
- Crashes during playback on ATI hardware in some circumstances have been fixed
- Hardware decoding improvements for OSX
- Various small fixes
In addition, XBMC Live has been updated with the most recent packages, one of which includes a fix for the annoying SMB+Windows Live Essentials bug.
Those interested may check out the full changelog.
Updating
Windows and OSX users should download and install as usual, all user data will be kept intact.
Ubuntu and XBMC Live users can use ‘apt-get update && apt-get install xbmc’ to update.

Wow i though it was only single core sytems getting stutters i went back to 9.11, but then found the live system would work better than windows ever did
Start the stuttering movie. Stop it again and select resume -> Now it will play fine (weird enough…)

can’t shown in Chinese, it shows as the block, my OS is win7 chinese version SP1
did
apt-get update && apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
and said I had latest version but when I went to system info it still said 1.0.7? any ideas?
For ATV2, the update will not work unless the packages are available.
Currently, the repository that is being pointed to is : http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/
That only has the packages from 10.0 release and they were compiled on Feb 19th. The latest, March 10th release isn’t there yet. So, I guess we’ll have to wait until we get new updates.
Unfortunately this update broke my system, as it seems? When trying to play or stream a video, the interface hangs totally. I can hear the sound in the background, but the interface freezes and is non responsive to inputs. Using linux/live distro.
Update : According to Davilla’s post. ATV2 will not get 10.1 update

Too bad!! :) Was lookign forward for some fixes there.
Thanks…
No, XBMC Live/Linux.
The ION stuttering comments are surprising. Never had any stuttering issues with this chip. All 720P/1080P HD vids play flawlessly.
WiiRemote patched version for 64bit is still not applied to the repository: ‘(
It works fine. Thanks!
Still don’t solve the problem with the low FPS in the rmvb in Windows.
C’mon, in the 9 version are perfect. What happen?
Well, I guess all we need now is to wait for XMBC 10.11. :)
As I posted in one of the threads on this, I have zero problems with Dharma on Ion as well.
About the ION stuttering , one thing that came to mind was that my friend has an Asrock ION330 and running Dharma 10.0 with no problem and i have the Asrock ION330HT stuttering as hell .
With XBMC 9.11 or something it runs perfect.
The only difference in hardware that i can think of is the chip for sound , can that be the problem to the stuttering ?
It seems that not all ION based machines have the problem , so it looks to me that there is some hardware/driver issue ?
Anyway thanks for a great program and good work.
I suspect these people are either using a very old version or have done something really weird to their system. Never saw any stutter problems on my Asrock ION 330 HT, neither with XBMC-live or with a manual Ubuntu Jaunty install on which I installed XBMC from the PPA repositories.
Maybe they haven’t updated their NVidia drivers to use VDPAU, that could cause some issues.

eh..bye?

We use audio for part of the syncing AFAIK so yes if the audio is acting up severly it could cause stuttering I would say. Please take this to the forum with full debug logs of both working systems and non-working systems and we can perhaps see something. The team has a bit of hardware but we have far from everything so while we work hard to maintain it working on all hardware its hard for us to test everything.
And we would obviously not release something if it stuttered badly on our ION systems so people please stop whining that we prioritize windows users over ION linux users, most of the devs use linux and have IONs so obviously we prioritize it quite a bit.. Besides, whining seldom lead to anything good, full debug logs and a smile will get you a lot further :)
Btw, the latter part of my reply was not directed at Fredrik :)
I am not sure if I am posting in the right place…
I have read on a few forums that XBMC can work as a sling catcher, but looks like this isn’t ‘out of the box’ functionality. I really want to be able to use my aTV as a sling catcher. With XBMC support on the aTV is this possible?
Cheers

All already done…:
Forum Thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=94841
Bugtracker ticket: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11322
Both with full debug logs, and on the bugtracker even with a sample file.
Can I supply you with more information? Please let me know!
I Have 10.1 on ION and Win7. If I do a cold boot theres no stuttering, but If I wake the PC from sleep, the video stutters (Maybe note the first time, but after a week with several sleeps the problem is there).
Hail to all XBMC team!
Great improvement in hardware decoding in OSX version. Guys – u r just awesome!
10.1 flawlessly “eating” full-fledged H.264 video where 10.0 stucked. Actually now on my Macmini4,1 XBMC 10.1 – the only player to watch some videos.
Many thanks to team, and small donation. ;)

Stuttering and crashing when playing video files.
Hello guys!
Where can i get XBMC 9.11: Camelot?
I’m tired of stuttering and system crashes with 10 and 10.1 ..
i’m told 9.11 is the best stable version but i cant find it anywhere. Does anyone know where can i get XBMC 9.11: Camelot?
Hi guys, was curious when you are going to publish addon stats? Thanks!
Do I suppose to uninstall the previous version 10.0 and then install 10.1? Or is it ok to just install with out the uninstall of 10.0?
@John
That’s here http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc/ :-)
Hmmm…. just went to 10.1, using an old desktop with win 7 pro 32 bit, 2gb of ram, nvidia 9800 gtx+ and an e6600 cpu. Should be plenty to watch videos. However, major stuttering and hang ups. I have not tried 9.11, I did try Vlc media player, same thing in some movies. Particularly animated movies in 1080p like guardians of the owls and how to train your dragon. Perhaps version 11 is soon? Most movies were mkv format as well.
Thanks soo much!!! :)
