XBMC 11.0 Eden Beta 2 Now Available

Written by Alan Sunday, 22 January 2012 07:51

It hasn’t been long since XBMC, named for Xbox Media Center, released their beta 1 of the Eden update.  Now, fast forward about three weeks, and we have arrived at Beta 2 of the home theater computer software.  XBMC is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Apple TV, as well as via a “live disc”.  It’s probably the best competitor to Microsoft’s Media Center software, which comes as part of Windows.  XBMC allows users to access and play pictures, music, and movies from any computer on your network.

Now with the release of Beta 2, very quickly on the heels of Beta 1, XBMC claims, “Since Beta 1, unencrypted bluray, dvd player, startup problems in OSX, airplay, subtitle issues, unofficial addon repository installations, and the frustrating TMDB scraper problems that have made it difficult for everyone to scrape new movies have all seen fixes.”  That’s a lot of fixes rushed out in a very short period of time.

XBMC claims that the Beta 2 of Eden is very stable, but still gives the same warning that any beta software comes with.  “The same warnings from beta1 still apply. Eden is quite stable already, but don’t forget that it is in beta. Builds for all platforms except XBMCBuntu are uploaded and ready to go.”  You can get the latest XBMC build for your home theater computer by visiting XBMC Download.
