XBMC Eden 11.0 compatible AirPlay disponible en version finale [MAJ]

XBMC 11.0 Eden version Beta est disponible en téléchargement. De nombreuses améliorations font l’apparition avec une excellente nouvelle, le support des ISO Blu-ray. Par contre pas de gestion des menus, ni des Blu-ray commerciaux (une gestion qui nécessite toujours un logiciel de décryptage des protections Blu-ray comme AnyDVD HD).

MAJ du 26/03 : XBMC Eden 11.0 est disponible en version finale : télécharger sur le site officiel.

Des améliorations sur le décodage DXVA ont été apportées, avec la prise en charge des GPU ATi/AMD, OMAP4 (Linux), Apple A4 (IOS). On note également le support d’AirPlay pour Windows (vidéos) et Mac OS et Linux (musiques et vidéos). L’interface Confluence a été revue, le support réseau amélioré, l’autoframerate 24p fonctionnelle sur MAC OSX,  une mise à niveau des services de météo, la possibilité de profiter des fonctions CEC avec un adaptateur, bref, les nouveautés sont nombreuses comme vous pouvez le voir avec ce changelog en fin d’article.

Il s’agit donc d’une version Beta, quelques bugs sont présents, et d’autres nouveautés et améliorations feront leur apparition d’ici la version finale. Pour télécharger XBMC 11.0 Eden, c’est sur le site officiel. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas XBMC, c’est vraiment un Media Center à essayer !
