How do I upload a custom compiled XBMC to the atv2 via an Xcode compile on a minimac - I am new to Mac and have only bought it to provide xbmc via atv (multiple) and am generally more comfortable with linux and windows. So apologise for a newbie type question, but a simple search yielded no results.

I have official build of June 23rd and it's working great. GUI it's faster and everything seems to be working just great.

But, I'm having a weird issue with my Music Library. I added a source and scan it. Scan were fine, but when I tell XBMC to refresh all artists info, all artists have the info of the first artist, in my case, Aerosmith, that was refreshed. The weird thing is that fan art and thumb are correct for the artist.

Anyone else with this issue?

Thanks

where do I get this official build of June 23rd?

Since the scraper bug is such a show-stopper, and has been fixed in git - https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/711c...f5f20e5dd4 - any timeline for the official 10-9 build being re-released with this fix?

Right now I have to scan folder by folder, and watch for the last item in the scanning progress bar when I get the incorrect error "Unable to connect to the remote server". Then I have to either add the movie to themoviedb.org or make sure my naming matches what's in the db exactly.

The next release would be a 10.0-10 and some other things have to fall into place before this can happen.

For the life of me I cannot get XBMC to stop kicking me back to the ATV main page. It could be 5 mins, 30 mins, 1 min, who knows but inevitably at some point it will kick out. I have read through countless threads and cannot seem to find a clear fix. Is anyone else having this problem? I am running 10.0-9, I've disabled apple update, screen saver all that stuff.

Been covered in this thread. This should help you out. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=96685

too bad XBMC not supporting touch navigation natively yet
(scrolling file list, and bigger button for play/pause/next/prev, seek)

hopefully, someday

Did you try the latest nightly? It supports touch navigation - at least with list scrolling...

Touch scroll was just added to the nightlies and bigger buttons is a skin issue. There are some touch skins already out there and an "official" touch screen skin is being made by Jezz (head skin jedi master).

I'm running the 10.0-9 official build. It works quite well for my purposes, but slideshow behaves rather weirdly.

I often use slideshow of photos and videos together. ( Photos and short videos of my baby boy. It doesn't make sense to separate the photos vs. the videos in this case )

When I start a slideshow, photos are displayed okay, but videos don't do well. Sometimes I see only "Working" sign on a back-screen and then onto the next picture.

Or I get only audio, while the screen just moves on to the next picture. If I press 'menu' at this point to cancel slideshow, then I can actually get back the video playback, although it is covered by the file list.

It seems that XBMC moves on to the next picture(or video) after waiting just a few seconds, rather than waiting until the current video finishes.

In a previous build I tried( 5/18 nightly ), XBMC would properly wait until a video finishes before moving onto the next.
