XBMC 11.0 Eden: RC 2 available now

Long time lurker - new convert from Boxee... and after using XBMC dharma for a bit and switching to EDEN RC2 directly, I'm very impressed.

I'm only using the software in a minimal way:
- only 2 boxes (win7 HTPC and ATV2) with shared mysql library
- streaming from network drives over SMB (wired network only)
- using only 2 video add-ons for streaming from TV sites

... but I couldn't be more pleased with XBMC.

I so understand how difficult it is to support a community that uses the same software on such different setups in such different ways. I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone involved. You're doing awesome work on this little free software jewel that makes my life so much easier.

I wonder if the new 1080p capable AppleTV3 will present any new problems to either jailbreaking it and/or XBMC. Has anyone put XBMC on the ATV2 after the new software update that gives it the ATV3 interface? Certainly, XBMC would be awesome on it with full 1080p output capability. I think the new ATV finally supports AVI, but still lacks MKV support.

May have found a bug in RC2, when i try to rewind at 2x it goes extremely fast like its at 32x. Anyone else get this?

Yes but its more like 8 speed

Has no one else found the issue where if you leave a video paused for more than a few minutes, it won't play or plays at 1fps when unpaused? The only way to fix this is to stop the video file and start it again.

This applies to local (sata + usb) and network drives. I have RC1 installed on another machine and this problem isnt there.

I have a strange problem with RC2 on Windows 7.

After starting XBMC, after approx 60-90 seconds the PC will be switched off: No shutdown, its like removing the power cord. Its triggered by XBMC , it does not happen, if I do not start XBMC. There is nothing in the log, most of the time the logfile and filesystem is corrupted, because the system does not shutdown properly.

For me, it looks like, that one of the plugins/Addons causes that, but I cannot remove/deavtivate them with the gui (I am not fast enough to come to the settings before the the systems siwtches off)

Any option to deactivate addons in a file or database, or does anybody got an idea?

btw: I updated from dharma (no fresh install), and installed RC2 over the existing installation again to make sure, that all binaries are ok.

No messages/errors/warning within the Windows event log (application)?

Can anyone give an update on when we might expect the XBMCbuntu RC2 release? I am currentlly using Beta 3 and it's extremely buggy.

Hi
You might try switching off automatic restart if its on..
Not sure if its available or where it is under win7...Xp its control panel~system~advance settings ~startup and recovery~ uncheck automatically restart
