A good bet would be to look for a nettop computer, such as the Acer Revo and install Openelec. I'm using the original Revo (1600) as my main HTPC right now. It's not the most powerful, so the more graphic intense skins won't work, but otherwise it runs great. It boots in about 20 seconds too. I have an IR receiver connected to it and using a Logitech Harmony remote that also controls my surround sound stereo and projector. With one click, it turns on the projector and stereo. I don't know of a way to boot the computer from the remote, so I just leave it on 24/7 and reboot it if there is a problem.

There is also an official xbmc remote for Android and iphone/ipads. It works really well too! You can see what movies/music you have, their information, and play them all from the remote.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Building on the above, an Apple TV may also be an option, but I've not looked too closely at what you would need to do in order to install XBMC on one. I've also seen a number of discussions on the IRC channel about Zotac boxes, but I've not paid close enough attention to know which one would be smart to purchase.

I myself wouldn't mind having a "little box" hooked up to my TV instead of a real computer. I plan on holding out until the Android bits are a bit more fleshed out before I make any purchases.

Just tried latest nightly neon build on my captivate, no black screen issue, of course videos was not flawless but with hw acceleration it will be splendid, add ons worked..

Jailbroken AppleTV2. That's what I have and it's streaming fine from my PC. Until HW acceleration is solid in Android XBMC, I won't be replacing it.

Zotacs are nice, but the ones I've tried run most smoothly on Linux (no Netflix), and their internal wifi adapters sucked (had to buy a wifi dongle to get a connection from 30' away). I was using one but replaced in with an ATV2 (less than half the price, and plays Netflix).

Hi,

I´m also using Openelec on an old Laptop. Control instead of IR with Android App on my Phone (XBMC Remote)..

TIP: A barebones box (No RAM, No HDD, no OS) would be wiser to pick so you can choose the the amount of RAM you prefer, SSD(recommended) or HDD and OS of your preference (Windows/Linux).

If you can wait for 6-7 months then look for the OUYA, it will get official support for XBMC.

As for a even smaller option all the ones that have the All Winner A10 (Cortex A-8 processor) i.e: MK802... will run NEON builds but depending on the GPU it will perform different with the NEON and non NEON builds.

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I am aware of the OUYA but I would prefer an Odroid-X myself. I appreciate what the OUYA group is trying to do but it is not something for me. I think once the Odroid-X is more stable it will be the one to get. It's a quad-core, 10/100 ethernet, Mali-400, 1Gb ram. Very nice specs for ~129 USD.

Screen flashing bug found, i used Show touchs in the settings, went to XBMC, used both fingers and then the images start to flash alot and wiping the cache doesn't work, i guess reinstalling it should fix it :rolleyes:

EDIT2: It seems its starting to happen to all versions of XBMC for Android even the older ones :(

Log: http://db.tt/MBlDcaet

Coming from the screenshot its a black flashing screen
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I ran into this and I had to reboot, clear cache, try, clear cache, reboot and do a bit of a dance before it came back to normal.

Once you get it back to working can you confirm that a multi-touch causes the issue? If we can narrow down the cause I can talk to the XBMC dev's and make a good note about the issue and resolution in the OP.

I would try to re-produce when I get home from work, but my tablet is out for warranty and I won't be able to do much testing until it comes back.

It seems the bug will not occur again but i found a bit of a "fastcrash" during the editing of the device name in services, first default page.

EDIT: So far it seems that the weather doesn't work and it will not find my location and it only happened since the big screen flashing bug also looking from the Catlog, the Android System kills the app when its out of focus or something when its in not in use then in use after multitasking back to the app.

EDIT2: I just found out that stuff got to do with networking in services unselects thereselfs. :sly:

EDIT3: Looking at the logs, using the search filter, for the word 'ANR' finding as a result of XBMC getting a ANR.

EDIT4: Networking doesn't work on XBMC now...

EDIT5: The network remote and other services now work but the weather still doesn't work.

Webdav not working

Using the 2012-08-12 NON-Neon build on an Optimus 2x (Cyanogenmod 7). Starts and runs fine! The touchscreen is a bit annoying but the capabilities this will bring are amazing! Already installed the TVCatchup plugin which works perfectly.

Only thing I would love to do is add a Synology NAS as a source using WebDav HTTPS protocol, but it seems the WebDav HTTPS support isn't working.

Just wanted to make aware incase no-one else had noticed!

This is normal. XBMC stores all metadata and some other things locally. Fortunately XBMC stores the it's application data on the sd card. /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc if you're curious what is being saved to disk.

[Android Apps and Games] rlees85:
Its a synology nas, I didnt import a certificate so yes it would be self-signed :( come to think of it, that explains a few problems I've been having.

Windows / Linux play much better with SSL than Android. Android doesn't have as many root certs and is setup to block self-signed certs under the "right" circumstances. I've found self-signed certs to be pure pain on Android and other embeddable platforms.

This is likely your self-signed certificate causing curl to blow up. I've seen this before in other Android apps. I ended up going with PositiveSSL for my certificate needs, 10 bucks a year and no more SSL related errors for my web services. Not sure how it would work with your environment, they use an intermediary to connect to Comodo's root.

Installation is fine but when i start XBMC it returns to the homescreen and never starts unfortunately.

On my HTC One X it is running fine.
[Android Apps and Games] rlees85:
Right I've had a quick look at this and I think the problem is with the CURL library being used.

I uploaded my StartSSL (not self-signed) certificate to the NAS box (verified it is being used correctly and it is). Tried again and it still doesn't work.

On the logcat that I did it is saying CURL is returning error code 1.

Just looking here: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html

Error 1 seems to be:

CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)

The URL you passed to libcurl used a protocol that this libcurl does not support. The support might be a compile-time option that you didn't use, it can be a misspelled protocol string or just a protocol libcurl has no code for.

I guess this means that anything over the HTTPS protocol won't work at present.

HTC Flyer running Honeycomb. This works great on it. Some of the common bugs but streaming videos connected to my tv through mhl works like a charm
[Android Apps and Games] TravisAntonio:
On Tegra2, everything is working fine, Audio, SD, I can even play videos but not 720P or high, because it is slow, also I edited the Startup of Android to make it the principal boot app, so it is acting right now like the principal OS, even though it is just an APP. =p. I will be reporting everything here just to make sure this goes well.

Report 1:

The App only uses CPU0 at 40~67% when standby, I can guess that when screen goes off it uses around 20~40% of CPU0, but CPU1 stays bugged at 67% not even a single move, so it makes the phone heat after sometime.

Report 2:

When playing music CPU0 is at 53~96% and CPU1 is at 55~97%. I can not say that the APP is performing too well but also not too bad.

Interesting that you mention the containers and codecs. I use a program called "Any Video Converter Professional". All the Android presets are the same: container is MPEG-4, video codec is x264 (800x480) and audio is AAC 128k. I can change the audio bitrate but never do. If I change from Android preset to generic video, I can change the video codec and enter my own resolution. I leave the video codec at x264, but I change the res to 960x540, so it fills my qHD screen. 540p ain't quite 720p, but it beats 480p (kind of a compromise there). In any case, it's native resolution. MX Player plays the 480p smooth like butter, but the 540p, well, it plays it more than acceptably, but not perfect. I will try to encode at 960x540, mp4 container, xvid for video and mp3 for audio. I'll try it with the first Amazing Spider-Man trailer. 720p from YouTube, source is 1280x536, h264 video (no idea what source audio). I probably should have figured out what height to reduce it to since it's wider than 16:9, but this should be okay for a test...
