| |
| * While there is a v13 XBMC for Android release, not all features work on all Android devices yet. This was expected, but a release is still made for those who wish to try it out. Several features, such as hardware video decoding, better touch support, and more, are still under development. Check out '''[[Android FAQ]]''' for details on continuing developments and new test builds posted regularly.

|
| |
| * If you've bought a device that was advertised to run XBMC, such as the Pivos XIOS, G-box, MiniX Neo, etc, then you should check with their respective websites for a final v13 Gotham build. Many of these devices need specific builds for hardware decoding and won't work correctly with the generic build released on xbmc.org.
| |
|
| |
| * XBMC for Android won't be on the Google Play store just yet. It will be made available once there is better support for more Android devices.

General FAQ
- See also: XBMC all platforms FAQ for an FAQ that applies to all versions of XBMC.
|
|
Gotham is the codename for XBMC Media Center version 13. Current release date is unknown and will be communicated through official channels when decided. You will often see "v13" and "Gotham" used interchangeably in the XBMC community.
|
|
|
Where can I see a full changelog?
|
|
|
|
|
Just install/copy the new version of XBMC over the old one.
|
|
|
What are some of the major new features?
|
|
|
|
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?

Where can I get Gotham builds for older Ubuntu installations?

|
|
How to switch from XBMC unstable PPA (used in XBMCbuntu Beta/RC releases) to final PPA
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get remove xbmc xbmc-bin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
What are some of the known issues in Gotham?
|
|
|
|
Audio issues and/or slow video playback
|
|
|
|
Can't use more than one movie set
|
|
|
v13 only supports one movie set for movies at a time. The ability to use more than one set in previous versions was actually an oversight, as sets are only meant to be used for directly related sequels and movie series, and the feature doesn't work correctly for more than one. For those who need a way to group movies in various ways, XBMC v13 Gotham now has video library tags, which can be used as many times as a user wants, and for whatever reason they want.
|
|
|
What might break when upgrading to v13? (add-ons, skins, remotes, etc)
|
|
|
Most things from v12 will work in v13. 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). Where there is a noticeable slowdown in XBMC addons are likely cause, backup your userdata and as a last resort delete the userdata Addons folder and the Addons15.db in the userdata Database folder.
- Skins need to be updated for Gotham - check your skin has been upgraded ready for Gotham: 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.
- If videos are playing back slowly or you have having sound related issues, see: #Audio.
|
|
|
Recently added videos seem out of order
|
|
|
Since Frodo it now uses file dates for "Recently added" videos instead of the date when a video was scanned into XBMC. This can be changed back to XBMC v11 (Eden) behavior by creating a text file called advancedsettings.xml and placing it in the userdata folder with the following content:
<advancedsettings>
<videolibrary>
<dateadded>0</dateadded>
</videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>
|
|
|
What happens if I don't like XBMC v13, can I just install XBMC v11 again?
|
|
|
Whilst Gotham does "upgrade" the library, it stores a Eden compatible copy. Just replace the Gotham application with Eden. It is still recommended to always make a backup of your userdata folder before updating, just in case. Add-ons will likely need to be reset (uninstall and then reinstall) if you go from Gotham to Eden.

|
|
What should I do when Addon repositories dont list any contents?
|
|
|
|
Where can I get more help?
