XBMC 11.0 Eden: Beta2 available now

For the last couple of days I had some weird crashes where xbmc just shut down. I wasn't doing anything special except browsing the menus. I noticed that xbmc created some crashreports and I would like to know if you can send them to any dev so they can be reviewed.

Anyone know where i can submit crashreports? I know about the trac website but unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the problem or explain correctly what I was doing at that moment as it appeared just random.

Hey Everyone,

I currently have Beta 1 on my windows 7 pc which powers my setup. If I install Beta 2 do I need to unistall Beta 1 and then install beta 2 or can I just run Beta 2 and it will update everything it needs too?

Prefer not to have to reinstall everything, but will if I have too. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Josh

Shouldn't be a problem to do that. Just make sure you have all non Eden addons removed.

Gatta say that this version is very sweet. The gui is extremely fast. I'm no longer noticing a lag with my Harmony 550 remote.

Only found one glitch so far. I leave my PC on 24/7. Its connected via hdmi to my receiver (see signiture for model). Last night I switched imputs from TV (uverse) to XBMC. The xbmc gui was all shrunk and in the upper left corner of the screen. It maybe took up less than a quarter of the screen. Behind xbmc I could see my windows desktop (win7). I closed and reopened xbmc and it opened fine.

That being said, you probably want a log file. I have enabled debug logging in my advanced settings so I don't get the interruption on screen. Now its just a wait and see situation. If it happens again I'll post the correct log. Just wanted to let you know about the behavior in case others have seen the same thing.

That aside, this version is nearly perfect. Keep up the great work guys!

Nice work, I love it 1

A little warning
I have experienced slow performance when upgrading from beta1 to beta2. If I install a fresh copy everything works better. I have a multiroom setup with 3 computers, one appletv 2 and a MySQL database.
