UPDATE: Right after I compiled XBMC a quite important commit happend: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/c47e925c8e044521a9321614882947f03e5754b0. I recompiled XBMC so it now contains this patch.

Is there something wrong with the install guide?

Edit Guide fixed by BartOtten. Tnx for reporting!

[BartOtten]

@TelosNox: try again. Fixed it
@Koenkk: First try the commands yourself as we don't want to cause trouble...
@Koenkk: Can you apply the patches for remotes, had to do it myself cause remote support broke

Report: The famous birdscene with 24fps Takes a while to load, but once it begins it's smoooooottttthhhh

cd /opt/xbmc

that one is still not right. Its "/opt/xbmc-nightly" for me.

Now it seems to work. Systeminfo shows 12.0-RC2.

My problem with black screen during playlists is solved. But still no new audio engine -_-

When installing the latest XBMC nightly the version is now actually RC3.

Using this version causes HD Xvid files to stutter when they played find in RC1.

Yeah it looks like they slipped that in on a minor checkin.

Anyway thanks for all your efforts so far, it is much appreciated!

Keep up the good work all.

@baza88, could you provide a sample of the file that is not playing well?

Yeah no problem.

I have just send you a pm with a link to a sample file.

"Adjust refresh rate to video" doesn't work correct. (I don't know how that option is correct named in english, my system is german - but I think you will find it: settings -> video -> playback).

I was used that my refresh rate changed to 24Hz. Now it changes to 60Hz (the video file has 24Hz). Very bad on this is, that the resolution changes from 1080p to 720p. So the video is cut off at the edges.

I don't know if this appeared with alpha 4 or if it is just in the nightly. I didn't check that before I changed from alpha 4 to the nightly.

About RC2: When i fastforward a h264 file streamed over upnp the sound becomes psychedelic,it plays a loop of a few 100 milliseconds,repeats it for about 2 seconds and then it will loop another "sample".
When this is happening the video plays normal.
When i disconnected putty from the pi i also got slight audio glitching.
I'll try RC3 tommorow.

As far as I read it correctly Fast Forward/Fast Rewind aren't supported by XBMC and/or the omxplayer. And it didn't really work well in the past either.
All suggest to use the seek feature to jump in 30sec. or 10min. steps through the video file.

You can adjust those steps in the advancedsettings.xml
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Advancedsettings.xml#.3Cvideo.3E

Code:

<usetimeseeking>true</usetimeseeking>
<timeseekforward>30</timeseekforward>
<timeseekbackward>-30</timeseekbackward>
<timeseekforwardbig>600</timeseekforwardbig>
<timeseekbackwardbig>-600</timeseekbackwardbig>

Who do you mean? What deb package?

So you guys can install it through xbian-config and apt-get install.
