Hello all,

I'm not a regular to these forums, but I have been a huge fan of XBMC for quite some time now. Basically I've never had much of a problem until now.

The upshot is that XBMC works fine once it's started, however once either a tv show or a movie has been played, the audio completely dies on anything else that is selected after that first showing. Only a restart of the program fixes this. Well I say fixes it, it seems to be the only way to get the audio restored. Having to restart XBMC after every single episode or movie is pretty frustrating, even if I only flash on something briefly, once it's done the first time, the audio is gone for good.

Any ideas?

I'm using a MacMini running Mountain Lion, XBMC v11

Many thanks for any help!

try frodo rc3

my only hesitation in upgrading is the huge amount of work potentially involved in reimporting various obscure movie artwork, I have a lot of it! Is there a way of copying over the artwork library?

a thousand thanks for the reply Smile

you can just move away your /Users/username/Library/Application Support/XBMC folder for a backup - then grab a copy of frodo rc3 and see if the issue is still there. If not - you can go back to eden and restore your XBMC folder.

I know the update path needs time dependend on the size of the db - but atm i only care if the bug is already fixed or not - you know? Wink

I do of course, and I thank you, I'll give it a whirl and report back!

The audio issue has most certainly been solved, alas my library is now a bit of a mess... Maybe a feature to 'save library structure' would go down well on future releases?

Well i hope you took a backup before updating. Normally the db should be updated to the new version automagically. If that didin't work out for you - you can export your complete DB into xml before the update and then reimport that xml.

There is already such a function. XBMC has a export library to single file and a import library from single file. Find these under Settings, Videos, Library.
