Can someone please explain why the XBMC that I install through Ubuntu Software Center or team-xbmc/ppa will not play videos in rar files? This version says XBMC for Debian in the top left of the XBMC homescreen and the watermark appears unremoveable. I've read this is something about rarlab and licenses and I don't really care about who can't get along; I just need XBMC to look inside rar files and play content without extracting.

if building it is the only way i'm totally down with that but i followed the official build instructs previously and ended up with the newest alpha which was unstable. not familiar enough with git to know how to build 12.3. is that possible?

That looks right, you have 12.3 from the Ubuntu repository and it is the only report you have that contains xbmc.

And do the apt-cache policy thing before you install.
