Hi,
I currently use Gotham on my main HTPC and all the family uses it as well. However I would like to give the new version a go but without the possibility of messing up the settings that I currently have
Is there any way I can install a second version of XBMC/Kodi on my machine and choose to run it when I want to play?
Thanks

You will need to help me through that, how do I compile it myself?

its much easier to just backup your ~/.xbmc folder before upgrading to kodi via ppa. Going back to gotham means removing the nightly ppa, restoring your backung and reinstalling gotham.

Well I started the list at the bottom, firstly the dependencies weren't met for xbmc after the first line. Ploughed on nonetheless but it doesn't look like the ./bootstrap command worked either, came up with an error message and wouldn't let me run the next command line either
I may just install Kodi anyway, see what happens when put through proper use

You started the list at the bottom .... I think you should not even try to build xbmc from source if you cannot follow a howto line by line ...
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

No I meant I started the list in the post above me, not from the bottom, I don't know why I wrote that
