Update your XBian to XBMC Frodo 12.0 Final - BartOtten - 2013-01-30

Hi all,

As many of you already known XBMC Frodo (12.0) Final has been released (awesome work XBMC team!). Because we know some of you don't like to wait for a XBian update, we made instructions on how to get this awesome XBMC build.

NOTE: Advanced users only! If you are not, please wait for the next XBian release! If you are wondering why the download is so big, we also need to get some dependencies.

Update (30-01-2013 18:00 UTC+0): we updated the firmware & XBMC to take advantage of experimental support for the following codec's: VP6, VP8, MJPEG, and Ogg Theora. However MJPEG isn't working yet due to a firmware issue, the Raspberry Pi company is working on this. If you already upgraded it's safe to rerun these instructions.

IMPORTANT: Replace Commit:4d99fd2 with 4d99fd2b51a84083bb6a40453fd4d0ae074c069#8 (remove the #). The XBMC forum replaces the original text

To install
SSH into your pi and execute the following commands:

Code:
sudo su         #default password = 'raspberry'

service xbmc stop

apt-get update

apt-get install libcurl3 libva1

cd /opt

rm -rf xbian

git clone -b xbian-alpha5 git://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian.git

cd xbian

git reset --hard 4d99fd2b51a84083bb6a40453fd4d0ae074c0698

Thank you so much for all your hard work!!!

I'm sure I'm missing something but I can't get this part to work

IMPORTANT: Replace Commit:4d99fd2 with 4d99fd2b51a84083bb6a40453fd4d0ae074c069#8 (remove the dash). Huh

What dash

git reset --hard Commit:4d99fd2

I get the following:
root@xbian:/opt/xbian# git reset --hard 4d99fd2b51a84083bb6a40453fd4d0ae074c069#8
fatal: ambiguous argument '4d99fd2b51a84083bb6a40453fd4d0ae074c069#8': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

or if I try :
root@xbian:/opt/xbian# git reset --hard commit:4d99fd2b51a84083bb6a40453fd4d0ae074c069#8
fatal: Invalid object name 'commit'.

I'm sure I just miss reading or miss typing something, any help would be great,
Thanks,

git reset --hard 4d99fd2b51a84083bb6a40453fd4d0ae074c0698

Hi guys,

From my side I got this message:

root@xbian:/opt# git clone -b xbian-alpha5 git://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian.git
Cloning into 'xbian'...
fatal: Remote branch xbian-alpha5 not found in upstream origin

I can see on the git that there is only xbian-beta1

frodo is available on this branch?

RE: Update your XBian to XBMC Frodo 12.0 Final - mayoman - 2014-05-19

Err, because you are trying to update to an alpha from over a year ago Huh

XBMC 13 (Gotham) has been released over a month.

RE: Update your XBian to XBMC Frodo 12.0 Final - coco163 - 2014-05-20

Yes, I saw but I cannot see a proper tuto to update to gotham 13.1...

RE: Update your XBian to XBMC Frodo 12.0 Final - mayoman - 2014-05-20

If you are on Xbian, then I guess http://forum.xbian.org/thread-2282.html is the best place to look.

RE: Update your XBian to XBMC Frodo 12.0 Final - coco163 - 2014-06-15

Thanks, worked perfectly:
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly
