- Eden is the "codename" for XBMC Media Center version 11. It was released on 24 March 2012.
|
|
Where can I see a full changelog?
|
|
|
|
Will I lose my settings/library in the upgrade?
|
|
- No, all settings and your library will be preserved in an upgrade. However, it never hurts to do a backup of your userdata folder (where all the settings/library DB files are stored).
|
|
What happens if I don't like XBMC v11 (Eden), can I just install XBMC v10.1 (Dharma) again?
|
|
- Yep. Whilst Eden does "upgrade" the library, it stores a dharma 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 incase.
|
|
What might break with the transition from v10 to v11?
|
|
- Most things from v10 will work in v11. 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 Eden - check your skin has been upgraded ready for Eden: 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.

In videos where is the "Make default" option?
|
|
- "Make default" option has been removed to reduce menu cluter. Users are advised a similar result can be achieved through adding a video to favourites and access through there (most skins can display a favourite as a separate menu item or submenu option): http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=94372
|
|
What happened to "manually add to library"?
|
|
- It's gone. It was believed that it wasn't useful due to the amount of information it would add to the file (none - apart from name). If you want the file in the library then use nfo files, they allow more information to be added and there are many programs available to make them on a variety of platforms.
|
|
Do I need to do anything for MySQL library syncing?
|
|
|
Movie sets removal and scraping
|
|
- Movie sets now have a GUI option to turn them on or off, off being the default.
Settings -> Video -> Library -> Group movies in sets
- Sets data is scraped automatically, but can be overwritten with nfo files.
|
|
What happened to Library/File mode?
|
|
- There is no longer a library or file mode. Instead of being "modes" they are now "views". You simply navigate to "Videos" and "Files" rather than use a toggle. While in File view you can now use library features, such as summaries, cover art, etc, just navigable as folders and manual organization.
|
|
How do I make file names show up in File view?
|
|
- By default v11 will replace file names with library titles when it has scanned that file into the library. You can turn this off by changing the settings:
Settings -> Videos -> File Lists -> Replace file names with library titles
|
|
How do I change Celsius to Fahrenheit (and vise versa) for weather?
|
|
- Go to Settings -> Appearance -> International -> Region and select your local Region and time format.
|
|
How do I make the default skin look like it did in v10?
|
|
- You can install the vertical version of the default skin (Confluence) (minus the new features in v11) by installing the alternative version:
Settings -> Add-ons -> Get add-ons -> XBMC.org -> Skins -> Confluence Vertical
|
|
Did HD audio/Audio Engine get added in v11?
|
|
- Nope. HD audio/Audio Engine wasn't ready in time, so it got pushed back to v12. Unofficial builds containing test-versions of audio engine are sometimes posted on the XBMC Forums, but are not officially supported.
|
|
Did PVR/DVR get added in v11?
|
|
- Nope, wasn't planned till at least v12. Like with AE builds, you can find unofficial test builds on the forums from time to time if you don't mind the bugs.
