I am using openelec latest nightly witch is based on frodo on three devices and I share the library on my nas. I am trying to use this library with the latest xbmc android version on my galaxy s3 but instead of using the same database it creates a new one . From what I read the android nightly is also frodo so why is it using a different database? Am I using the wrong version ? Does anyone know witch version I should use? Openelec uses database MyVideos72.

I already posted that everything is working fine on my Galaxy Tab.

The only thing I cant get to work is live tv.

I use Argus Tv Server with Mediaportal around the house and XBMC on debian x64 on my laptop. Live tv is working there.

On my Tab I can't get it to work, but I can't find the logs. What's the location of the log files?

It's not on this location: external storage/sdcard at: Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/temp/
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
If you are using a file manager you will need to enable the "show hidden files" option or the equivalent. You can also browse to the location using adb shell.

Hello, I have a mediacom 810c I installed xbmc and when I play the file .Mkv is not very good, but if I use the player in the tablet works fine.

I know that xbmc does not use hardware acceleration but how can I do to see the file with the native player of my tablet??

thanks for response
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Right now XBMC will not use hardware decoding on anything but a Pivos XIOS.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Right now there are a few patches floating around to enable external play support in XBMC. The builds here do not include this functionality as it is not an officially supported feature.

I am looking into it but have very limited free time at the moment.

The clean library command is a 1st order item buried somewhere in the settings. It's not in in a context menu.

However, I have NFC how you would pop a context menu on android w/o a touch screen or a keyboard with that key binding. You may want to try creating a thread over on www.xbmcandroid.com/forums There are a number of people with similar equipment over there that may be able to further help.

m not a noob, if u explain ill understand!, what are neon devices? i googled yet not a good result, i have a htc one v which runs on adreno drivers! and not tegra !
[Android Apps and Games] blucmal:
Neon is a type of video codec hardware decoding. Tegra 2 and others d not support it which means hardware accelerated video is limited. Neon offers much better hw decoding which ,means more video formats are supported like HD mkv which is stutter on non neon and needs to be changed to a different format to play smooth. But on neon device it will play smooth as silk.

Hope this helps

BBC iPlayer

For my fellow UK netizens I can confirm the BBC iPlayer 2 plugin works perfectly.:highfive: Needs to be manually installed.

Using TF101 4.0.4 stock ROM.

Will report back once I've tried the other UK catchup services.

In general, sound skips at anything less than full volume. Weird bug. The lower the volume the more it skips in an almost linear fasion. i.e. at 1 below max there's a small skip. Going lower makes the skips longer.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Can you try the 2012/08/02 build? The audio issue should not be present in that version. I will be working on the audio skip problem as soon as I've tracked down the cause of the black screen problem.

Hi thanks for the great work on this :)

Im having the same issues with the new Nexus 10 that the 7 guys are having, it just wont start, must be a 4.2 issue.

I cant get the logs as I dont have root yet :(
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Given it affects the nexus devices running 4.2 it likely is a 4.2 bug.

You shouldn't need root to get the logcat data. You should be able to grab it using adb from the sdk at a minimum.

Nexus 7 restore to factory setting?

Nexus 7, 4.2 and XBMC won't run for me either. Probably the same problem. Do you think it'd help resetting it to factory settings and don't update?

If so, what is the "safest" version of XBMC to install?

Thanx for all your help on this!
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I doubt a factory reset will fix the issue. It looks like a library isn't running properly for some reason based on the posted logcat. You can try going backwards through the various builds but I have a feeling they won't work either.
[Android Apps and Games] hjulstad:
Okay. But has anyone been able to run XBMC on the Nexus 7 before updating it? Part of reason why I bought it. Hope there'll be a fix soon!

Is the playback working correctly now for the galaxy nexus?

It was choppy on the last update.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Unless you see something in red that says "hardware decoding available" or similar, it will likely remain choppy for some files. The official devs are hard at work on this. The official time line is "when it's ready", this is an incredibly difficult problem to solve from what I've heard and it will take time.

The red item under "common problems" about choppyness will also be removed when hardware decoding support goes in.
[Android Apps and Games] eperaza120:
Thanks so much for all your hard work! I use nothing but XBMC at home due to it's ability to play directly from .rar (VLC is also nice for that). I also have a Galaxy Nexus, but I have no problems waiting for the choppiness issue to be resolved, as it will be greatly worth my wait. Thanks again for this excellent job!
[Android Apps and Games] rich2x:
I appreciate all the hard work.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] adit9989:
Yes. I had it installed just before upgrading to 4.2 and was working OK. After 4.2 stopped (crash at start). For sure 4.2 related, not specific to N7. More devices getting 4.2 , more complains will see.

As a note, N7 and most devices will play anything streamed from Internet even HD because it's strongly compressed. However IT WILL NOT play 1080p video from a local source with higher bit rate (like the ones from cameras). You need hardware decoding for it. Other players which implement HW decoding play tested 1080p60 AVCHD2 clips and N7 (Tegra 3) can play it if HW acceleration is used.

It was told already but as a note the only SoC for which XBMC can be compiled with HW acceleration on is the one from Amlogic, used in Pivos. I'm waiting for a box with the dual core Amlogic MX chip to test.

For any other you will need to wait.
