Development of the [XBMC](http://www.engadget.com/tag/xbmc) project has continued to roll along since [Eden launched officially earlier this year](http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/24/xbmc-eden-officially-steps-out-of-beta-available-for-download-n/), and now the first beta for v12 Frodo is live. Those who dive in will experience a slew of new features that have been trickling out in monthly builds recently, including [support for HD audio formats](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/31/xbmc-audio-engine-gets-big-rewrite-with-dolby-truehd-and-dts-hd-ma/) like DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD, [live TV and PVR access](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/10/xbmc-10-pvr-raspberry-pi/) plus versions for [Android](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/13/xbmc-for-android-app/) and Raspberry Pi. There's a long list of features to check out -- and known issues, this is a beta after all -- check out the official blog for all the details and to try it out yourself.
