Most of the major issues could be avoided and the rest of the Xbian users can then help iron out the smaller issues once a general beta release has been produced.

Once again just my opinion.

we have a bunch of Testers who were testing Beta1 before we push it public. None of the issues were found and reported as otherwise we would not release it.
So what I trying to say is that you would need a team of 100's of people to be able to spot every issue an even than it would not be 100%
So now issues are here,reported thanks to you all and we can sort all out, thats what is all this community work about.

That's a pretty huge generalisation. Didn't I read elsewhere that you said, of all the testers, nobody tested the upgrade method? If that's the case, then the testing simply wasn't managed properly.

I think there's room, even in an unpaid community, to acknowledge disappointing errors of procedures. It's not the end of the world to admit faults. The important thing is to admit them, learn from them, and not repeat them.

Regarding the SMB issues, I eventually worked around this painful bug by going to "Add network location..." and manually adding my drobo NAS's details. That worked fine where trying to browse the exact same NAS box/share after selecting "Windows network (SMB)" continually failed with the now infamous

Error 2: Share not available

On a second setup, pointing to a QNAP NAS, there was no problem.

Both times I was using standard ethernet via a Billion routers.
