If you've not built from source in Linux before it's a little bit of work but not too bad. My upgrade appears to have failed and my backup not much better so I may be rebuilding from scratch myself If you're on Windows you might be able to get a binary from someone but you'll likely want to start with a well running XBMC install anyway before moving off from the mainstream head trunk.

thanks for the reply. im on windows. so from your reply i am assuming youguys are editing xbmc itself or something with linux (hence the talks about trunks and stuff) sounds over my head. this isnt a typical addon i can test out?

To my knowledge the only pre-build is for Windows: http://180upload.com/k1nbf3jiznej

I succeeded in building the current release. Is there a good collection of what needs testing or development at this time? I went through the thread but due to editing after the fact it's difficult to see what has and hasn't been done.

When i seelct the rom again, it asks me to install it again. just goes round and round in circles.

Simply go to Get Add-ons > Emulators. The repository is automatically enabled in the current retroplayer source tree, if you compiled xbmc earlier you can add the file from a0a4b42 or install this repository add-on: https://github.com/garbear/repository.libretro/raw/master/release/repository.libretro/repository.libretro-1.0.0.zip

Themaister was able to get real-time rewinding working, which is awesome.

I'm in the act of evaluating a change in the rendering process from the one used for DVDs to the one used for textures. This is because RenderManager deals with YUV instead of RGB, and is geared toward the complexities of video timings and colorspaces. libretro runs at a constant framerate and returns simple RGB data, which is possibly more suited to rendering a texture control and doing a little double-buffering.

Finally, after this work gets merged (or before, if I feel like it) I'll rebase on FRODO so that skins and add-ons, like RCB, can be tested with RetroPlayer.
