    I've been using XBMC Frodo with Aeon Nox for the last few weeks and it's working fine. I always like to be using the latest version of any software so I am thinking of upgrading to Gotham (13.0). Has anyone upgraded yet to the stable release(4th May 14) and are you seeing any major stability issues? Should I stick with Frodo for another while to ensure any bugs in Gotham are fixed or take a chance?

    Yep, very stable. I was using the nightlies for the last couple of months and they were fine. 13.1 is in beta now for a few issues that cropped up since 13.0 went final.

    Yeah, have it installed on my raspberry pi, working well so far but need to test if airplay is back working with iOS7 again. Apparently it should be.

    Not bothered with Gotham yet on my main HTPC as I've a heavily modified Aeon Nox skin. I've tried it on my RPi but can't see anything to rush me towards upgrading my main box. What am I missing?

    Too many changes to be bothered listing them for you tbh.

    You usually break things and end up re-installing

    Installed Openelec with Gotham on the Pi yesterday ...... had been using Openelec 3.2 with Frodo.

    Gotham seems to be more responsive and am glad I did the upgrade.

    Openelec 4.0.1 on RPi working well. Seems snappier than Frodo, so far.

    It was good timing for me since my original setup completely tanked for some reason, every single plugin stopped working and the entire thing was beyond recovery.

    Have tried it out only yesterday, seems a little quicker though nothing I find major from the last time.

    Gonna try it on the RPi and see how that works, speed is definite key for that one.

    Sorry to hijack thread but I am having trouble getting xvmc to work on my macbook. I have used several vids from youtube as a reference but it seems that when I download xvmc that there are files/add ons not included that are in the install vids I am watching?

    Has anyone any suggestions?

    Might be as simple as the videos being out of date?

    I've been using the very first official release of Gotham since it came out.
    Have there been many releases in between it and the May 4th release?
    The first official release tends to crash on me quite a bit..I'm wondering if anyone else found this, and found the May 4th release to crash less?

    oh.. and its running on the Howya

    I've been running the stable release for a couple of weeks now. Haven't had it crash once.
