Upgrade to Kodi - agent5150 - 8th May, 2015 09:58 AM
Is there a plan to release a Kodi based upgrade for Xbian?
All xbmc related packages are held back on apt-get upgrade attempt.
Is there a manual way?, If there is manual upgrade path/how to, please post as sticky or a separate thread with sticky.

really.... no reply to my question.
RE: Upgrade to Kodi - Smultie - 13th May, 2015 03:56 PM
Updates to xbian-package-xbmc happen quite a lot.
Are you familiar with the apt-get update process?
RE: Upgrade to Kodi - CountZero - 15th May, 2015 11:37 PM
apt-get upgrade results in a bunch of xbmc related packages being 'held back' and xbian-config simply tries to do apt-get upgrade, so not sure why the FAQ and other things recommend using xbian-config instead of apt-get since it's the same exact thing.
Anyway, upgrading from Gotham to Helix is not as simple as running xbian-config or apt-get upgrade as far as I can tell.

The following packages have been kept back:
xbian-package-config-shell xbian-package-config-xbmc xbian-package-firmware xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-upstart-xbmc-bridge
xbian-package-usbmount xbian-package-xbmc-scripts xbian-update
Now what?
RE: Upgrade to Kodi - CurlyMo - 16th May, 2015 12:43 AM
Just list all those packages manually like this:
Code:
apt-get install xbian-package-config-shell xbian-package-config-xbmc xbian-package-firmware xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-upstart-xbmc-bridge xbian-package-usbmount xbian-package-xbmc-scripts xbian-updateRE: Upgrade to Kodi - CountZero - 16th May, 2015 12:45 AM
Yeah, that breaks the installation and makes it unbootable. Having to install a fresh image now...

just do a btrfs-snapshot rollback in order to restore your previous system-state

This is why I switched one of my B+ Pi to OpenElec, as I am sick and tired of dealing with broken stuff with every major & even minor updates on xbian.
I hope devs get this once awesome media center back on track soon.

Everybody is feel free to run what they want. I honestly never had issues with XBian (upgrading). And i'm not saying this because i'm an XBian crew member. I just never had.

Happy for you .. but this what I get when I manually try to update the held back packages:
apt-get install xbian-package-config-xbmc xbian-package-upstart-xbmc-bridge xbian-package-xbmc-scripts xbian-update

I know there are other choices & have tested a few. But since this is bleeding edge, some times waiting is all I can do, my coding skills stay home. New "IMG" 5.19.15, load numbers in "TOP" look very nice. Putting my 3k movie data base in now.

Without any issues. I think it's pretty user specific. Can you post your issue on github?

Ok, so I retried the manual upgrade and this time it did not complain of any broken dependencies.. something must have been updated since my last try.
Two B+ Pis updated to Kodi 14.2.. so far no issues noted.
I still think devs need to put out a new image with Kodi.
RE: Upgrade to Kodi - CurlyMo - 21st May, 2015 05:21 PM
And we did.

Noticing significant lag on UI.. remote clicks lag for upto 6 seconds.. then catch up.
this is noticed on 3 different Xbians updated to Kodi 14.2.
One Model B, Two Model B+
overall sluggish UI compared to v13 XBMC.
