Problems/questions that have cropped up in the forums. Please add to this if you have any questions.
Where can I see a full changelog?
What happens if I don't like XBMC v.11 (Eden), can I just install XBMC 10.1 (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's with the new volume and volume amplification in the audio settings when playing a video?
- Please see: Videos#OSD Audio and Subtitle Settings
What might break with the transition from Dharma to Eden?
- Hopefully nothing but non-updated plug-ins and add-ons may not work and therefore be disable by XBMC. XBMC has upgraded it's use of Python, there is limited backwards compatibility but be wary
- Skins - needs to be updated for Eden - check your skin has been upgraded ready for Eden. Changes to the skinning engine: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=94724
- The whole implementation of the JSON-RPC server has been refactored to be compliant with the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification. This may cause problems with apps that require on XBMC's webserver?
How do I upgrade to Eden?
- All settings and your library will be preserved in an upgrade.
- Mac
- Windows
- Linux
- iOS Devices
- XBMCbuntu/XBMC Live
- Openelec and other pre-made linux distros - Wait for them to push update or manually install an Eden build
In videos where is the "Make default" option? It was in Dharma
- "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
Can't add file source (like is possible in music and video) for Pictures on Eden Beta 2
- Pictures don't have sections for fast linking, so no need for any submenu. It was removed to reduce clutter.
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.
MySQL
- There has been changes to the database, please see wiki for new method:
Synchronize multiple XBMC libraries from Dharma to Eden
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.
Where is the database mode switch gone?/What happened to Library mode?
- There is no longer a file mode option in options when in library mode. Instead of being "modes" they are now "views" Users should navigate through "Videos" category to "Files" to achieve a similar functionality.
Major new features
- in progress list
- This is a list of major new features that have a wiki page:
