Questions for Dharma Release (New Features)

Your card supports it.

But that completely depends on what OS you're running, if you have external media players, etc.

I have Vista 32-bit. I just see some jitter like a de-interlacing issue or something. I might go and uninstall all codecs and try again..

Hope I don't stun folks with my lack of knowledge.....

I used to run the XBMC updater. I know XBMC will notify me of updates to add-ons, will it notify me when there is an update to XBMC itself like Updater used to?

I'm not sure the above link about Cards is valid. I went to see if my card is supported NVIdia GeForce 9200.

If my card is supported, do I have to turn on acceleration or does it happen automatically?

Settings is showing my OS as Vista 32bit and I'm on Windows 7. Is that normal?

I guess I killed this thread.

XBMC doesn't have updates in the way that add-ons do. Add-ons tend to be small apps with short development cycles. The next update to XBMC is likely to be v11.0 Eden, and there will be plenty of warning here when Eden is released :-)

I'm 99% certain that hardware acceleration is supported on the 9200. Go into System settings, Video, Playback and enable hardware acceleration. By default it is disabled.
