It’s been a mere 13 days since beta 1 came out, and already we’re ready for beta 2.
This is almost entirely a “fix” beta release, meaning no new features, only a more rock solid foundation.

You need a local overlay setup(see http://http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay/Local_overlay) and most likely want these files in
/usr/local/portage/media-plugins/xbmc-pvr-addons/xbmc-pvr-addons-13.0_beta2.ebuild
and
/usr/local/portage/media-tv/xbmc/xbmc-13.0_beta2.ebuild
also copy /usr/portage/media-tv/xbmc/files to /usr/local/portage/media-tv/xbmc/files

Are there any plans to make it available for Ubuntu 13.04 Raring on the unstable PPA?

[mikelo]

Thanks for great effect in XBMC making

Bug Report:

I found that my XBMC could not connect the network folder by NFS in this Beta 2 version.

My NFS is made by Synology DS209.

Hoped that XBMC could make more effect in Chinese support.

Many thanks for the B2 release. For a long time I was having SP/DIF pass-through issues under OSX including Mavericks. My setup is like

NAS (Flac,AC3, DTS, PCM) --> Mac mini --> USB --> Audiophilleo2 --> SP/DIF --> Onkyo AVR --> 5.1 Speakers

It's the first time it's properly working now and it sounds terrific.

Great effort OSX developers. Excellent work ;-))

Working great with OpenELEC on Rasperry Pi, xbmcbuntu on Intel, and some occasional Windows on AMD use.

Thanks !

What does this mean? Is this about RAR file compression support?

[Kib]

Ubuntu 'Raring' 13.04 is out of support (it was only 9 months) and launchpad does not allow you to upload new files for it as far as I know.
We will be supporting the new LTS 'Trusty' 14.04 and are currently already building for it.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubu...n_timeline

short story: you will have to upgrade to Saucy or Trusty

Where can I find the video cache directory?

I use cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize> in advancedsettings.xml
and want to relocate the video directory to a USB 3 drive.

However, was looking for it since 2 hours now with various search options and can't find the directory, but the buffer seems to work for me.

I have this problem too, NFS support has been hit and miss in the nightlies (for me, I know very little about these things and maybe my system is particular), works with beta 1 though.

The author of that plugin will need to update it. Contact the author.

I tried the beta2 today, but it was not very good usuable in my environment:

- HD-TV (1920 x 1080) with glitches and only ~ 30 fps, Intel Core Quad Q9650@3GHz and a NVIDIA Geforce 9300 onboard graphics with current orig. linux nvidia driver "3.3.0 NVIDIA 331.49".
I've > 55 fps with frodo 12.3 and the same setup.

- radio is not working

Should I file a bug report?
