beta2 ongoing development

[IriDium]

mk01 - Well done for all the work you have done.

IMHO: Beta2 seems so reliable, it should be released to a select few for further testing - especially in the areas of Navi-x (and derivatives), Airplay, Mice and remotes, and playback over network.

It might be worth compiling a list of test areas that could be "signed off" as "probably working" (We will never know if everything works - especially with all the different add on and h/w around.

@mk01 Can Beta 2 be installed onto a USB drive and if so how? I would like eventually for it to be included into xbian-config (along with a restore function) but I know that is not your area.

Also what are the size of the btrfs snapshots? It will be needed to calculate the minimum size of the SD card for installation. At the moment the Website recommends only 2GB. I have a feeling that may not be enough.

Ok - I spoke too soon. Playing a MKV that I have watched before on the PI. The whole system freezes (xbmc and Linux). Nothing in the XBMC log at time of freeze.

Might be H/W or S/W - who knows.

Had to do a hard reset

Tried again - and again freeze at the same spot. Me thinks it is h/w not s/w or possible RPi USB drivers. Who knows.
