These are development builds with experimental features and enhancements. Generally, they are pretty stable but they don't work correctly for everyone and some builds have significant problems. The beta should be pretty stable and work very well.

Latest build is much better with tvheadend. I thought my tv tuner was poor however the picture has improved greatly using DVD player.

I think you are in the wrong thread. There are test builds, NOT the beta of Gotham. I think you've got the best change at the OpenElec forums.
First tip: enable Samba in the settings.

Enabled samba in the settings and even changed the name of the workgroup?
Changed it to the same name of the rest of my machines in my netwrok rebooted but no luck till now.
Also in the openelec forums i also got no help till now,but still messing around with the sam prob.

Additional Testing Notes:
Testers should try adding the following entry to their advancedsettings.xml:
and report if it is better/worse than omxplayer. You can still play files with omxplayer using the context-menu "Play using... OMXPlayer".
Hello. I've been comparing omxplayer and dvdplayer in the last few builds and it's always the same: when playing videos with dvdplayer the image freezes for a while a few seconds after starting. Then everything is ok till I skip forward/back. Then it happens again, the image freezes (the sound is ok) and in just a moment everything is ok. Omxplayer works fine with the same videos.
IMHO dvdplayer is not as smooth as omxplayer.
Just in case it can help.
(I have gpu_mem_512=192 and Medium overclocking. It happens with SD and 720p videos)

Is there any way I can disable fiq_fsm?
I just reinstalled both my Rpi's with 0308 from scratch, with formatted SDCARDS.
Now I can't upload files larger than 500Mb from PC to the directly connected WD-2TB usb-hdd. In the middle of the copy the network interface on the RPi dies, no ssh, no ping.
On the TV everyting looks ok and I can play movies from the usb-hdd so that one is still mounted ok. But network does not work until I reboot using the remote.
I then tried inserting:
boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 dwc_otg.fiq_enable=0 dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_enable=0 ssh quiet
But then I get no IP or anything network related when I boot up. Tried "Wait for network" to 30 seconds, but same result.
If I use a fresh installed 0304 sdcard everything works ok, that is if I don't enable fiq_fsm. If I do I get the same strange network disconnect when copying files from PC.
I'm using wired nic, confluence skin, no pvr, no addons, everything default, no wifi dongle, only CEC-remote. Same on both my RPi's
My settings are (and have been using for several months)
cmdline.txt
boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ssh quiet
config.txt
gpu_mem=256
arm_freq=950
core_freq=450
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=2
force_turbo=1
initial_turbo=30
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
decode_MPG2=0xmyown
decode_WVC1=0xmyown
Am I missing something??
