Problems/questions that have cropped up in the forums. Please add to this if you have any questions.


What is "Eden"?
Link
Eden is the "codename" for XBMC Media Center version 11. It was released on 24 March 2012.

Where can I see a full changelog?
Link
http://mirrors.xmission.com/xbmc/releases/11.0-Eden-changelog.txt

How do I upgrade to v11?
Link

Will I lose my settings/library in the upgrade?
Link
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?
Link
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?
Link
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?
Link
"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"?
Link
See also: Adding videos to the library/Home videos/custom videos
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?
Link
Yes, See: HOW-TO:Sync multiple libraries/Upgrading XBMC from v10 to v11

Movie sets removal and scraping
Link
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?
Link
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.

How do I make file names show up in File view?
Link
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?
Link
Main page: Weather
Go to Settings -> Appearance -> International -> Region and select your local Region and time format.

Did HD audio/Audio Engine get added in v11?
[[#2-Audio_Engine Link]]
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?
Link
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.
