Arthur Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Source: http://xbmc.org/natethomas/2012/03/24/xbmc-11-0-eden/ It’s been over a year in the works and today we are excited to announce that XBMC 11.0 is finally ready and available for download. You can find XBMC 11.0 here. XBMC 11.0 Milestones include Addon Rollbacks, vast improvements in Confluence (the default skin), massive speed increases via features like Dirty-region rendering and the new JPEG decoder, a simpler, better library, movie set scraping, additional protocol handling, better networking support, better handling of unencrypted BluRay content and structures, adjustable display refresh rate in OSX (to match the already available feature in Windows and Linux), AirPlay support, an upgraded weather service with geoip lookup, and much, much more. Check out the highlights in the summarized changelog. In addition to our many software improvements, we’ve increased our reach in the realm of hardware support since Dharma was released. Eden marks the first in-sync stable release for the Apple TV2, iPad, and other iOS devices. We’ve vastly improved the method by which we handle input, including heavily upgrading JSON-RPC support, making remote control support much, MUCH simpler in Windows, and enabling unique methods of device communication with hardware. And now even AMD devices are supported for GPU video decoding in Linux to some extent, thanks to the inclusion of VAAPI. http://i.imgur.com/5ZP2K.jpg 3
jinnantonnixx Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Downloaded, going to test it later. The previous standalone distro had faults with Raided drives, and the XMBC package for Ubuntu had bugs so fingers crossed....
CyberNerd Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 have been running the beta for a couple of months on debian mint it's been really good. time to upgrade.
mavhc Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 also been running the beta on my a330ion for a while, as it was needed for the gpu playback. every time it/nvidia ubuntu drivers update I lose hdmi audio and have to fiddle with the settings for half an hour though.
eejit Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Are any of you in a position to give a comparison between this and Windows Media Center? WMC is becoming a PITA due to problems getting accurate EPG information.
featured_spectre Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Much nicer than WMC, weather app seems more accurate, plays a wider range of media files. Happy days for me.
CyberNerd Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 only real issue I have is sometimes the wiimote doesn't always connect first time.
