How does updating Retrospect work?
There has been a lot of confusion on how Retrospect update work. So this KB article is an attempt to explain the main ideas and principles behind the system. And...
For those who are interested, I just uploaded XBMC Online TV v3.4.0. This release introduces three new major features: Channel Proxies, Categories and a new name. Proxies can now be configured for each channel. Visit the Knowlede Base article to learn how to configure them. The list of channels did become very long and a lot of scrolling was required to find channels, even if you would disable channels you do not use. Now each channel has a category and the main channel listing has been replaced by a category listing which can be used to go to a list of channels for that category. If you don’t like this feature, then you can disable it via the add-on settings (under Channels). And last but not least a new name: XBMC Online TV. If you want to know why, please visit this Building XOT blog post.
Here is the complete overview:
