XBMC Frodo 12.0 Final

[Koenkk]

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Don't use this guide anymore, Alpha 5 will be out soon

Hi all,

As many of you already known XBMC Frodo (12.0) Final has been released (awesome work XBMC team!). Because we know some of you don't like to wait for a XBian update, we made instructions on how to get this awesome XBMC build.

NOTE: Advanced users only! If you are not, please wait for the next XBian release! If you are wondering why the download is so big, we also need to get some dependencies.

Update (30-01-2013 18:00 UTC+0): we updated the firmware & XBMC to take advantage of experimental support for the following codec's: VP6, VP8, MJPEG, and Ogg Theora. However MJPEG isn't working yet due to a firmware issue, the Raspberry Pi company is working on this. If you already upgraded it's safe to rerun these instructions.

To install
SSH into your pi and execute the following commands:

Code:

sudo su         #default password = 'raspberry'
service xbmc stop
apt-get update
apt-get install libcurl3 libva1
cd /opt
rm -rf xbian
git clone -b master git://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian.git
cd xbian
git reset --hard 4d99fd2b51a84083bb6a40453fd4d0ae074c0698
rm  boot/config.txt boot/cmdline.txt
rm -rf /boot.OLD
mkdir /boot.OLD
cp -R /boot/* /boot.OLD
rm -rf /opt/vc.OLD
mv /opt/vc /opt/vc.OLD
rm -rf /usr/local/share/xbmc.OLD
mv /usr/local/share/xbmc /usr/local/share/xbmc.OLD
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/xbmc.OLD
mv /usr/local/lib/xbmc /usr/local/lib/xbmc.OLD
cp -R boot/*  /boot
cp -R opt/vc /opt
cp -R usr/local/lib/xbmc /usr/local/lib/xbmc
cp -R usr/local/share/xbmc /usr/local/share/xbmc
chmod +x /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
rm -rf /lib/modules/3.6.11+.OLD
mv /lib/modules/3.6.11+ /lib/modules/3.6.11+.OLD
cp -R lib/modules/3.6.11+ /lib/modules/
reboot

To restore
If you don't like the new firmware & XBMC restore using the following commands.

Code:

sudo su         #default password = 'raspberry'
/etc/init.d/xbmc stop
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/xbmc
rm -rf /usr/local/share/xbmc
mv /usr/local/share/xbmc.OLD /usr/local/share/xbmc
mv /usr/local/lib/xbmc.OLD /usr/local/lib/xbmc
cp -R /boot.OLD/* /boot
rm -rf /opt/vc
mv /opt/vc.OLD /opt/vc
rm -rf /lib/modules/3.6.11+
mv /lib/modules/3.6.11+.OLD /lib/modules/3.6.11+
reboot
