Kodi 14.0

[Calzor Suzay]

Now this is out how do I install it?
My system keeps telling me I'm on 13.2 when 14 is available.
1.0RC3

@Calzor Suzay

v14.0 is at DEVEL available for testing. until there is OK from people who tested I won't move to Stable, ...
you can add DEVEL repo and install via apt-get

or dl with wget and install via dpkg -i

report back

I'll wait for it to become stable, I looked at OpenElec but I can't easily get Domoticz running on that I think.

I've installed and run OpenElec v5.0.0 on RPi and CB and can't really see anything different (apart from anything that is xbmc is renamed to kodi) so of course a lot of add-ons no longer work. as .xbmc is renamed to .kodi

I can't see the rush. 13.2 is stable and it works - why change unless there is something you really need.

Remember:- "All that glitters is not gold"

It's not the visual changes that are wanted, it's things like disabled scrolling on dim and such that I want from the latest kodi. The amount of fixes that have made it in are tremendous as well. But if 13.2 does it for you then there certainly isn't a rush to upgrade.

Recently switched to openelec, the drive for a stable and up to date release seems to be gone for xbian.
Sudden repo changed where users needed to manually change repo locations, bad updates and clearly reading in the above posts: no drive to update to quickly move anymore like RaspBMC and openELEC.

Was a great distro which got slowly abandoned from real active development and stable releases.

Kodi is the default on the Raspberry Pi since last week:

Kodi still has bugs (my experience) on my Hummingboard (together with a USB DAC).

Oh, thanks for pointing it out

It seems there is no installable mythtv plugin in xbian 13.2 xbmc, thus i'm eagarly waiting for kodi. That is one reason to upgrade.

[ikke]

Mk01, thanks for the info about kodi availability. I just grabbed it from staging, and it brought me back the mythtv \o/. I'll test more tomorrow, but at least upgrade went fine, and the few minutes quick try shows no errors.

[Calzor Suzay]

I'm confused...

I just ran the updater, Xbian says it's 20150112-4 now but XBMC is still 13.2 compiled the middle of December.

Is it still in DEV only or do I need to update XBMC 13.2 to 14.0 manually then it'll take incremental updates?

[ikke]

I got it from staging, not devel. Did you pay attention if it says it would be holding back xbmc? Try issuing "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xbmc"

[Calzor Suzay]

Well that didn't work...
