Great job guys!

Some questions:
I just did an isf callibration of my projector, has gotham changed something according to picture quality? (Like gray, black scales,color production, or brightness level etc?) i hope not.

The upnp server thing and "play using" option.. Can somebody tell why this is useful? Or are they 2 separate things? How does it differ to airplay? I've got my whole movie collection on an unraid server (separate machine), should i install the upnp server on that then? And prefer it over mysqlibrary?

Just so you know what sort of user I am...I'm not the sort of person to run nightly builds or monthly builds. I always run whatever the latest 'proper' release is, so up until last night I was running 12.3. However, seeing some of the features on the beta I thought I'd give it a go. Now, I haven't played around with the settings much, but what I did do was test a couple of 1080p and 720p films (Oblivion and Wolverine) with DTS 5.1 passthrough. I had increasingly noticed (more so than my wife) little stutters and jerks on slow panning shots especially. Prime example is the 'Universal' logo at the beginning of a film where it scrolls around the Earth. Very choppy. Not so bad when you're in a heavy action sequence.

I tested these films specifically, because I've seen them recently on 12.3, and noted that they had judders in panning shots. Well, colour me surprised and pleased.

Both films, smooth as silk. I don't know what you did or how you did it, but thank-you, thank-you, thank-you to all the developers involved! It's like watching from the original source on a Blu-Ray player.

Now to play around with the rest of it.

Subs work for me. If you could start a thread for your issue and include a debug log (wiki) in the help sub-forum, we'll see what we can do.

Wich language and version of opensubtitles do you use? Also on what device? Maybe i did something wrong in settings

Hi guys,

I was not able to start gotham on my ATV2 (acrtualy 3 of them).
Got this error:
"SELECT idVersion FROM version" and it wont go ahead.
I had Frodo 12.3 with advanced.xml config for mysql DB.
Anyone facing the same trouble?
Meantime I revert back to Frodo 12.3

Regards
Chris

have the video addons caught up yet?

i was using the latest nightly builds a few weeks back but many addons were still incompatible with gotham, if livestream works with gotham now, i would be interested in reinstalling gotham..

can anyone confirm please..

thanks

I tried searching and couldn't find the answer. Does the upnp that is mentioned in the article apply to watched tags syncing or is it just for audio/video purposes? Just trying to figure out if I still need mysql.

RE: XBMC 13.0 Gotham – Beta1 rises! - Ned Scott - 2014-03-06

Watched status is updated/shared with UPnP.

So Hi all,

I got it sorted out. I configure a new MYSQL DB and set on of my XBMC to connect to this new DB Server and let it write all new (MyVideo78) all fine all i changed was in the advancedsettings.xml the destination of the mysql db server.
I copied afterwaerds the MyVideo78 on my old db server started xbmc and it worked.
Some fanart poster and so on had to be corrected but nothing troubling.

Chris

I just tested Beta on Linux.

Beta 1 is worse than alpha I previously used. I use xbmc for watching live tv (tvheadend backend). When signal is bad, alpha version show green pixels on screen, instead of video. Beta1 hangs immediatelly and I need to restart my computer. Is there any chance you will take a look on this?

It's unacceptable, so I switched to alpha again,sorry. Please let me know if you even want to try to fix this issue - if so, I can provide debug logs. Also I can try to record corrupted stream with errors from live tv, and you will see how xbmc hangs on it.

But I don't want to create thread that will be ommited, so please let me know.

[edit]
It seems to be caused by ffmpeg, beta1 has newer version? This is part of log:

Code:

After this, xbmc is dead completly.
