It may be a bit but from what I've seen in some of the dev tree's it may be possible withouth NDA's. There is OMX and stragefright integration being done but nothing has made it in-tree. Most of the work I've seen for hardware decode is very much WIP status at the moment.

Had the odd crash with the Xoom. Factory reset and last couple of builds. So varied either from initial weather setup or it crashes out when getting film data for films folder on a drive. It seems to calm down after a few starts but that may be due to workload. Unsure.

When I try to install the 12-06 Neon Build on my Nexus 7 it does the first run thing, then a black screen? What should I do? I tried re-downloading and transferring from my PC already.

EDIT: I figured it out, had to clear data and cache of XBMC and force stop it, do the first run again, now it was on the starting XBMC screen longer. I still got a blank screen for a while but I waited and it eventually came up, Thanks for the Beta!

I know others are wondering this, is the 12-06 build Beta 3?
[Android Apps and Games] xoom68:
No. You have to use the Google code link on the first page to get the latest builds.

Finally managed to see some signs of usability using the latest nightly (2012-12-10) non-neon build on Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Tegra 2) using Paranoid Android 2.99 build 1.9. Most of the plugins I use work though I haven't been able to get the Trailers to work yet. Get a check connection and proxy error. Most 720p files load now but are slow or stutter during playback. This is better than the crash I would get with previous builds when trying to play 720p files. Will test some more and provide more feedback.

Hi just wanna find out if the xbmc app works flawlessly on your galaxy nexus when it comes to viewing videos. Mine has never played or streamed videos right from day one without it stuttering or lagging. It's just terrible. I'm on stock android 4.2.1 and only way I've been able to use xbmc is through MX player to view videos. But as soon as my device got updated to 4.2.1, the patched version of xbmc that allows the use of external player stopped working. Could you pls tell me your secret on how to make xbmc work flawlessly when it comes to viewing videos? Before I forget,all formats of video be it SD or HD stutter or lag

Problem with subtitles

I have a HTC ONE X

And I tried to install the last three Non-NEON versions

And all of them have the same problem,

While watching a movie I press the subtitle button and nothing happens ...

All other buttons respond great!

I tried the old version of 29/10/2012 and there I do not have that problem.

Is the problem known? There is a way to solve it?

The new version works much better except for the subtitles ....

Slow response on Programs and Navi-X

I have a REALLY slow response when I click on Programs...5-15 seconds.

I click on Navi-X add on, and I get the same thing...In fact every button inside Nav-X has Huge delays as well, except for playing streams..those respond as expected.

Is it my Non-Neon Toshiba THRiVE?

All the other options and add ons work smoothly and respond well.

Or am I missing some settings in programs or Navi-X somewhere? All i did was Install it and nothing more...I can Login but that changes nothing.

It started to act up with me in the end tbh, could not put my finger on it, but it seemed to start crashing in the later builds. The ROM is still a bit to clunky for me, plus the fact that mounting a hard drive was a pain as well. Went back to EOS 3 and constant crashing again with XBMC, but EOS 4 was not ideal for me as a daily as I am back down in Africa working and needed stability for the basics and hard drive access.

On a Windows version of XBMC, right clicking will allow you to get into properties or edit the source, etc. Can't seem to figure it out with a mouse on Android. I've tried a long left click and it doesn't seem to do anything. Any idea on how to do that? Can't seem to find anything on it when I did a search.

this thread started me on XBMC as I knew nothing about it prior. After using it for a couple of months I was hooked and started looking around for what devices may handle it better than an android device to be able to get more of the experience. I was close to buying an Apple TV2 from craigslist for $100 so that I could jailbreak it and load xbmc. then I decided to get a Raspberry Pi. I bought one for $35 +$10 Shipping. I had all the other needed things like an HDMI cable and Micro Usb Power source and SD card. I loaded up Openelec on my sd and to be honest it is incredible what this cheap little computer board can do. I am able to stream full 1080P videos without issue as long as the source has decent speeds. For those who want full HW acceleration, and have your router close to a tv so that you can connect eithernet I suggest taking a look into the Raspberry Pi.

Depends. I can play low bit rate , youtube style 720p on Nexus7, but from local source.Streaming may not work, depends of the WiFi network speed. Try the same clip from the local memory, if it plays it's your network, if it does not it can not be played without HW acceleration.Try using an external player (like MX or BS) which supports HW acceleration.

Go under settings then services then we server. Allow control set port to 8080 create user name and password. Go to remote and allow programs on this system to control

Ive been using XBMC on my Samsung Galaxy S3 running stock Jellybean. Using 1Channel works perfectly over wifi but trying to use it over 3g (Virgin Mobile) works until XBMC goes looking for sources of any given video, then it fails to find any sources every time.

So, my question is...does anyone else have XBMC working over 3g to watch tv shows and movies etc. Or is Virgin Mbile blocking me from accessing the video sources somehow.

You want the NEON version and it won't playback 1080p all that great, if at all, unless you use the XAF version (see xbmcandroid.com/forums for a build) and enable an external player. XBMC version 12 will not include hardware decoding support for android.
