Known issues that are expected to be present in XBMC v12.0 "Frodo".
General
- The current AFP client in XBMC is still the not-so-stable one from Eden. A replacement won't be ready for Frodo, but is planned.
Android
- (Obviously) hardware playback for most devices
- No zeroconf/bonjour/service discovery support
Linux general
Mac OS X/iOS
- gapless playback for music isn't working
- no AAC to AC3 transcoding, which means no multichannel support for AAC
- no HD audio passthrough support (currently seen as cannot fix due to Apple APIs)
- all sort of hickups during music track transitions (gets worse with activated crossfade)
- music output lacks audiophile support (output is resampled to the setting from audio midi setup for all tracks)
Mac specific
- some tools which adjust screen brightness may lead to lowfps (5fps frameratelimiting) in XBMC - we have covered some of them but there are a lot of more tools out there i guess (basically all tools which use a transparent fullscreen overlay)
iOS specific
- No 1080p video output for retina devices (resolution gets scaled down because of performance issues - solution is in sight for after frodo)
- ATV2 - We crash on startup when plexapp is installed (seems plexapp does something bad on their frappliance init)
- uppercased special characters with accents are shown as lowercase (when uppercase tag is used in the skin)
Raspberry Pi
- DVD ISO playback is not expected to work well
- Fast forward/rewind do not work yet, but "stepping" back/forward does work. In other words, the FF/RW buttons don't work on the On Screen Display, but you can go back and forward using left/right arrows (or whatever you map to stepping back/forward).
Windows
- AirPlay videos rotation is off if using hardware decoding [1]
- Windows screensaver and power saving mode kicks in when XBMC is not focused (independent of whether XBMC is playing a video or not)
