How to Downgrade Gotham to Frodo - aperfectme - 2014-05-30 After some hours of struggle trying to downgrade gotham to frodo due to some addons problems (boblight preferences not working) I found this solution. On a terminal: 1.Go to this directory and delete any entry that contains xbmc on it Code: cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ Code: sudo rm delete-any-xbmc-repo 2.Then add this repo Code: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-old-stable 3. Remove the current xbmc Code: sudo apt-get remove xbmc xbmc-bin 4. Code: sudo apt-get update Code: sudo apt-get upgrade 5. Install xbmc Code: sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin There you have again the good "old" xbmc Frodo 12.3. Based on this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=141369&pid=1341856#pid1341856 Update: Replaced Code: ppa:xbmcrus/fmxvba Code: ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-old-stable RE: How to Downgrade Gotham to Frodo - Martijn - 2014-05-30 Very bad advise telling some one to use that repo.

Ok thanks for the advice but maybe instead of just saying don't do it, could you explain why not and point me in a better direction, I think that would be way more constructive. RE: How to Downgrade Gotham to Frodo - fritsch - 2014-05-30 XVBA was never in xbmc mainline. It was an implementation for amd's fglrx binary blob to get hw acceleration. We had zero support of AMD back at that time and bugs in driver / xvba were that immense that we just stopped doing that code and concentrated onto the OSS radeon drivers. So in short, you advertise an xbmc version, that is not(!) mainline xbmc and has absolutely no support. Stick the to the team ppa. Re: How to Downgrade Gotham to Frodo - nickr - 2014-05-30 Ok so how does he get frodo from teamxbmc? RE: How to Downgrade Gotham to Frodo - fritsch - 2014-05-31 Good question, they are gone. Nathan-Rennie-Waldock has some of them: https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewaldock/+archive/xbmc-old-stable Though, I wanted to know, why people need to downgrade - just out of "third party addons"? Re: How to Downgrade Gotham to Frodo - nickr - 2014-05-31 He says boblight addon not working. RE: How to Downgrade Gotham to Frodo - aperfectme - 2014-05-31 I needed to downgrade because my a Adalight was not working properly on Gotham anymore, I didn't know the version from this repo was an unsupported mod, but guys instead of making so much drama about it try to help us out finding a solution to the downgrade problem. For now I'm gonna try to add this repo: ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-old-stable and see if I get the supported 12.3 version. Best!!! |
