General FAQ
- See also: XBMC all platforms FAQ for FAQs that apply to all versions of XBMC.
|
Where can I see a full changelog?
|
|
|
Just install/copy the new version of XBMC over the old one.
|
|
Will I lose my settings/library in the upgrade?
|
|
For most users, no. All settings and your library will be preserved in an upgrade. Settings that aren't preserved are those that have been reorganised, renamed, set to a new default - usually it's only a handful, and only things that don't really matter. However, it never hurts to do a backup of your userdata folder (where all the settings/library DB files are stored).

Do I need to do anything for MySQL library syncing?
|
|
|
What happens if I don't like XBMC v12, can I just install XBMC v11 again?
|
|
Yep. Whilst Frodo does "upgrade" the library, it stores a Eden compatible copy. Just replace the Eden application with Dharma. It is still recommended to always make a backup of your userdata folder before updating, just encase.
|
|
What might break with the transition from v11 to v12?
|
|
Most things from v11 will work in v12. However:
- Add-ons may not work, prompting XBMC to ask you to disable them. You can keep using them if you wish (by choosing not to disable them), but doing so is unsupported. See Category:All add-ons for a list (check the drop-down menus)
- Skins - needs to be updated for Frodo - check your skin has been upgraded ready for Frodo: Category:Skins (check the drop-down menus). If you have problems starting up XBMC after updating, you might need to move/delete your guisettings.xml file (see userdata for location) to reset your skin.

How do I use Live TV/PVR?
|
|
|
XBMC v12 (Frodo) is the first stable build of XBMC for Raspberry Pi. For more information on XBMC on the R-Pi, including how to install it, see Raspberry Pi FAQ.

|
Does Frodo have HD audio support?
|
|
Yes, Frodo now has HD audio support, thanks to the new AudioEngine.
|
|
Does XBMC for Mac OS X, iOS, or Apple TV 2 have HD audio?
|
|
While XBMC for Mac OS X does have the new AudioEngine, which features many new improvements in audio quality for XBMC, HD audio passthrough is not currently possible on Mac OS X and iOS due to limitations on the OS level. Those who want HD audio passthrough will need to use Linux or Windows.
