XBMC 3.3 and Upgrade question

[iceman-uk]

I upgrade XBMC once per year... and now is that time

A couple of quick questions if thats cool:

1. What is now the recommended way to update XBMC?

I tried the wiki but the page has been deleted:
http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/wiki/Instal ... dia_Center

Is it still "ftp dir and copy UserData.xml"? Or is there an add-on
that everyone uses these days?

2. My 3 XBMC systems are on 3.1 (April 2012) - I was going to wait for
3.3 to be stable - roughly any idea how far off?

Thank you

Try this:

There are a few tutorials on how to transfer (FTP method etc), or you can try the XBMC SVN Installer plugin in my signature (read it's wiki page first).

Thanks Dan,

I tried installing the "XBMC SVN Installer" plugin by following your first post here however I get a message saying:

Code: Select all

XBMC 3.1 - Incompatible - Requires XBMC r30559

So at this point do you think it's best for me to use FTP to upgrade to 3.3 and then try the plugin for the next upgrade cycle?

Thanks

I just removed the minimum revision requirement, you can try again if you want.
