Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Key stability and release readiness improvements across xbmc/xbmc. Delivered a new alpha release entry for Kodi 22.0, restored Apple UPnP autorelease pool handling to fix memory management issues in Objective-C apps, hardened startup robustness by retrying deserialization after the first frame to support cores initializing during runtime, and fixed CMake GLX enabling logic when ENABLE_VDPAU is tri-state to ensure reliable builds across configurations. These changes improve startup reliability, memory safety, and build stability, delivering tangible business value for users and downstream integrations.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for xbmc/xbmc focusing on stability, media metadata accuracy, UI quality, and build reliability. Key work spanned RetroPlayer streaming stability, metadata and language updates for media scrapers, TMDb TV Shows enhancements, UI/GUI refactoring, rendering stability improvements, localization work, and build/Wayland compatibility. Highlights include delivery of a crash fix in RetroPlayer streaming, updates to Universal and TMDB-based scrapers for improved metadata accuracy and translation coverage, extended TMDb TV Shows support (Season Plot, Tagline, Original Language) along with a refactor of duration storage, and a major GUI/quality refactor for GUIMessage handling. Rendering stability was improved by aligning UDMABUF stride to 256 bytes to improve dma-buf compatibility and reduce EGL_BAD_ALLOC errors during video rendering. Build and platform compatibility gains were achieved by making CORE_PLATFORM_NAME conditional for Wayland builds. Localization updates across controllers and SNES add-ons were applied to broaden language support. Overall impact: reduced crash surfaces and rendering glitches, improved metadata quality and internationalization, and more maintainable codebase and build pipelines. These changes enable faster release cycles, better user-facing metadata presentation, and more reliable platform builds across Wayland targets. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C/C++ code quality improvements, memory/resource management for GPU streaming, Linux Wayland build tooling, dma-buf handling and EGL integration, codebase refactoring and lint/config template usage, and internationalization/localization workflows.
