After the install the system was slow why is that?

reason is mostly btrfs. looks like it is still doing some cleanup or other maintenance after big changes in filesystem. also there is autodefrag turned on for it, so can be defragmenting the new mess caused by installing many packages.

maybe even trying to re-compress newly stored data.

this looks to be a change in 3.10.y kernels.

@mpnico,

yes I remember this from few pages back. we have to find out why as this definitely this _must_not_happen_ as the RPI is capable to handle FullHD movie playback (x264) even with software downmix of DTS with an ease.

(and this is not thanks to myself or others working on project, this is thanks to the real guys hacking OMX like popcornmix and others doing firmware, kernel and XBMC patching etc. code base changed a lot in past weeks/months).

btw: what is yours AVR?

I'm just attaching list of package - version which should be installed (version is actual to today, but can be higher later) with beta2. it can be reviewed on your systems with

Code:

dpkg-query -W "xbian*"

if your system does not meet this, "apt-get install --reinstall xbian-update" should do that, or just "apt-get install [package_name]" should be fine as well. for info causing this look at my post few posts back. this is one-shot manual fix and should not happen anymore in future. if still apt complains there is no new version or no new version will be installed, try "apt-get update" before - but apt-get update is scheduled by default settings to run daily (if you didn't set otherwise in XBIAN settings) - so this would mean some kind of broken settings.

here is the list of packages from my system running auto updates (with latest installed earlier this morning at 8AM (GMT+2).
