Xbian Rpi3 install

[Morgan.Sullivan]

Hi,

Newcomer to this forum here.. also newcomer to all things Pi..

I had no trouble installing the Pi3 image (via Win32 Disk Imager, since it was not available on the win installer). Booted ok and got few system updates already. Very impressed!

I must say that I am quite impressed with XBian. I've only been playing with OpenElec for like a week since I've got the Pi3, nothing wrong with it, but XBian feels lot more snappier. Boots really quick, local content plays as it is supposed to (Pi3 connected via AV receiver), no problems with DD/DTS. Even online content starts playing faster. I would consider making XBian my main media player if only it was available thru NOOBS...

I am having problems, tho, with NFS. I'm sharing 4 folders on my NAS (DS413j) and, while I have no problems accessing with OpenElec, with XBian is a bit of hit and miss. All 4 folders have the exact same permissions but XBian is always having trouble with only one of them (the others only few times). Unfortunately this is the one folder I would like to access the most since it holds a Kodi backup (from OpenElec) so I don't need to reconfigure it all.

Has anybody else seen this problem with NFS?

I do understand that this image is in beta stage, but I thought I could report it (I wish I knew how to fix it myself).

Also, I would like to add XBian to my "NOOBS card" but I've not been able to find a way to do it... Could you point me in the right direction? ATM, I am using two cards "the NOOBS" one with Raspbian, OpenElec, OSMC (which I'd like to get rid of), and a second one with XBian. I like the idea of having Raspbian and XBian on the same card.

This is a really good project! Good stuff!!
