All updates until Alpha 5 told the user what is was doing and if it worked. I think knowing this also makes it a lot easier to debug. A small example. Just copy everything at once in SSH can press enter:

devel versions of B2 had it too, but users were too confused of checking repetitive tasks (re-apply of xbian-update for instance).

new commands are run together with old already successfully applied making for user too difficult/impossible to distinguish between ok, only warning (already applied) and failed. so it was taken out and never really missed.

if we want (user wants) to have idea what;s new, or going on with the particular update, I was proposing changelog creation and attaching it to package and even the forum. nobody showed real interest.

user wants that system works, almost never wants to know HOW it works (3 people including you and myself). with introduction of auto/silent updates and possibility of almost hourly issues / per patch or fix - it is not so valuable for development as well.

if someone takes over after V1 and introduces it back, I will not fight against!

Anyway, it seems to be running fine. Except, it won't show 'Movies' and 'TV Shows' on the home screen anymore; and they've not been hidden, as the option is greyed out in preferences for some reason.


I'm running Confluence for Xbian, but it's not a Skin issue. As I've tried switching, and it's the same problem in other skins.
My library, on my NAS, is accessed over NFS, and it's still accessible through Videos->Files.

@dstuart

this is because there is no movies or videos in library. because advancedsettings.xml config was emptied. can you confirm ?
