At the moment I am running a stable XBMC release, but it doesn't really work well with some of the skins features (as you mentioned in first post).
For instance, switching between Movies and TV-shows doesn't work.

So I need to update to a Nightly XBMC version. But do they only come as clean installs? I mean, if I update over my current version (10.10) do I lose all my apps and settings? Can someone maybe clear some things up for me about Nightly builds? System is running fine now, don't want to have to tell my girlfriend that she can't watch Grey's Anatomy tonight because I screwed up our Media center

i install them over the the current version, it wont wipe out your media, it will just update xbmc.

ONe point is though there are some addons you need to update manually as you need the pre-eden versions. Also once you switch to pre-eden (nightly) there's no way back!! It will update you database to the new db engine. To be sure make a backup of your database. The rest will be fine

Thanks for the info guys! I am more confident to try the nightly build now.
Maybe a stupid question, but are the nightly builds stable enough for normal use, watching HD media?

- joeks - 2011-08-20 22:11

Updated to the latest nightly build, everything in XBMC works great as before, subtitle add-on etc.. I am Happy!

(Sorry for the edits, but I had problems at first after the update to get XBMC to autostart. That's solved now, thanks)

Hey Krish,

I've been away on business, plus things have been a bit crazy, so time has been real short for XBMC stuff!

Gonna get back on the case next week so hopefully i'll have the last alpha out by the end of next week. The OSD will be part of that.

Cheers

Looking forward to the next Alpha! When the OSD is included I never have to switch back to another skin Smile

Well, that's encouraging. Since i set up the repo a month and bit ago, the repo zip file has been downloaded 961 times! Big Grin

Bet that doesn't mean 961 users are using Welo alpha though!! Laugh
