XBMC, the award winning media centre application for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows and Xbox, has reached Beta 3 and although it contains only fixes rather than features, the fixes are still worth a mention.
It is well known that Airplay support in XBMC suffered many issues ever since iOS 7 was released. However, the Foundation has now been able to purchase harware specifically for testing and developing this and other issues. As a result it looks as though most of the issues surrounding Airplay in the Beta 3 release have finally been resolved. (Unfortunately this doesn’t include Android for now.)

Other fixes you will notice in XBMC 13.0 Beta 3 are:

• Android hardware video decoding support added to Exynos devices (such as Odroid or Exynos
• Various video and audio playback fixes
• Skip to DVD menu has now been brought on par with the automatic skip performed by VLC
• Wii controller support on Linux
• Language and description updates
• Other fixes
• downloads available now
