Love this app!

Everytime I show someone with an iPhone this app, they spaz out of control. "Why they dont make it for iPhone"? lls

I know the black screen issue is a persistent problem. I'm running Phandroid 2.15 right now. Gonna switch to 2.20 tomorrow. But sometimes I get the black screen and sometimes , I get the screen open in a very small box over in the left corner of the screen. I usually just open and close the app a few times and then it opens correctly. I was just wondering, when it opens in that small box, is there a fast faster way to make it open in complete screen?

hi

Im just completely newbies on this topic.

I have t-mobile galaxy S2 cellphone. is it possible to run xbmc on it? my cell phone is not rooted

thank you so much for your time and I'm sorry if I hijacking the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] stephen31686:
Root is not required, just enable "unknown sources" in your settings menu (security I believe), that allows you to side load applications (not from play store)

As someone whose Dad loves XBMC and has both an iPhone and an iPad, having to jailbreak makes the difference between an installed app and one that never gets installed. Some people are simply unwilling to chance losing their warranty for any reason.

Remote controlling my 'droid install

Hi All,

Many thanks for the effort being put in, not only to the programmers but for the pre-build APKs being maintained in your own time.

I have installed the latest non-NEON APK on my Nexus 7 with the idea of using it for me son in the car, and changing videos from our phones instead of pulling it out of the holder each time a video ends.

I setup access turning on the HTTP server and leaving everything as default. After installing the Official XBMC remote I get the error

i/o exception (java.io.filenotfoundexception)

NexusIP:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=GetSystemInfo(120)

If I navigate to the URL from the web browser the content of the window shows 'File not found'.

Can I just check if the web server components have been compiled into the latest APK or whether this functionality of the remote control is missing?

Can anyone else verify if they have working remote control functionality with their Android XBMC install would also be good, and to know if you have done fresh installs or upgrades from previous builds?

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Confirmed, it looks like /data is not accessible from XBMC for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Audio issue is confirmed for both NEON and non-NEON. I have been testing my builds with the volume at max which does not suffer from the problem. The issue only shows up if you have non-maxed volume. I am investigating.
[Android Apps and Games] elmerohueso:
XBMC crashes for me when trying to scrape info for movies not containing locally stored info and artwork. I've tried IMDB and themovieDB, and XBMC just dies right after receiving the scraper's response. Don't see an error in the log before the crash. Tried SMB, FTP, and local sources.

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:

May aswell chime in with my 2c.

Working on an Advent Vega(Tegra 2) I have around.

Also working well with the Navi-X plugin so can add that to the OP.

Thanks for the builds.

Also maybe a changelog of sorts in the OP might help ?

Is this what I should be looking at for it ?

[Android Apps and Games] ruggs1234:
Im running the first non-neon build on my LG Optimus 2x which is running stock Gingerbread. Ive not used XBMC before.

Can I just say a big thankyou for modifing this software for Tegra2. I havent fully tested its local playback abilities but it does seem to work fine for SD stuff. To be honest, after research, I was more interested in its streaming abilities with Icefilms, 1channel and Navi-X, which all work fine. I connect the HDMI output on the phone to my tv and im happily watching movies and tv shows with very few (buffering) issues. HD stuff is choppy, but thats to be expected with Tegra2. The software seems very stable, especially when using the "touched" skin.

For what its worth, my phone screen does get quite warm to touch when its running (warmer than anything else ive used with the phone) and my battery goes from full to 20% in a hour and a quarter of streaming, neither of which concern me.

I am so happy with this I dont dare try a more up to date version in case it doesnt work as well as the version I have now!

Again, thankyou very much for getting this to work on Tegra2
[Android Apps and Games] dave-:
Tried latest neon build on my HTC One XL (Snapdragon S4 MSM8960). SD streaming over SMB worked fine. 720 mkv was no good though, blocky picture. Cool none the less but I'll stick with my tablet, 4" phone is a bit small hehe
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Thanks for the help on this one. I forgot I had set my SDK/NDK settings to ICS+. I'll be making a note in the OP that you need ICS or better for my builds.
[Android Apps and Games] StephenC82:
Tried todays nightly and it starts up. But if I select anything it goes to a black screen. I can press back to get to the main menu again tho. Just happens if I browse to any menu other than the main one.
[Android Apps and Games] doug36:
Still black screen on my Amaze 4G (telus, semi-stock)

Acting like a "out of range" issue, like its trying to do an invalid displaymode :p
[Android Apps and Games] adit9989:
Tried it also on Nexus 7. Good start, it's usable to a point with the touch skin. One feature it needs is to hide at least temporary the navigation bar ( Nexus 7 and any other JB devices). BS player and other players do this. The navigation should be hidden when it hides it's own controls.It can not be disabled permanently but should at least be synchronized with internal controls so hide it when the play control are hiden and reposition resize the screen. (YouTube does this also).I think somebody already did this for XBMC but it's not on the main branch.

Second, thing. For internet streaming SD and even compressed HD works with software decoding. However i tried a clip from my camera (AVCHD 2.0 - 1920x1080 60p 28 mbit/s ) .It does not work with XBMC (Tegra 3) can not do it in software.Tried BS player which uses HW acceleration and it runs smoot !. So the good news is that current ARMs can do it but it needs HW acceleration.Hopefully for a number of different chips as on ARM it looks like each one has it's own way to do acceleration.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

I might be wrong but from what I read the only Chinese ARM that open sources all details is Amlogic. I know (did not try) that only Amlogic ARMs used in Chinese tablets ant TV boxes and sticks can have XBMC build with HW acceleration enabled. The others like Allwiner or RK don't. Without HW acceleration most likely you can forget about full HD play (maybe some 720p with low bitrate will work).
[Android Apps and Games] Heiko123:

Not sure about your web server issue, but you should probably be using the neon build for nexus 7. Works great on mine. Also if your rooted, overclocking really helps.

Any note 10.1 and TF300 owner can confirm if the tab can handle software processing of 720 and 1080 movies.

Ty.

If not, what tab can?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
No, unfortunately you've found the best way to handle this.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The best way to fix this (note it requires patience) is to reboot, clear the cache, try. If not, reboot, clear the cache, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reboot, retry. If those don't work, some number of attempts at the same general procedure will eventually get the flickering to go away.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
If it is a Tegra2: Nope, if its a Tegra3: 720p maybe, 1080p no.

Nothing but the Pivos XIOS can playback 1080p right now and 720p support is iffy at best. Most anything in mkv is also pretty much a no-go as well.

This is due to the lack of hardware decoding. If you are looking for hd format support and want guarantees of any kind, you'll need to buy the XIOS (even then you're running pre-alpha software) or wait until hardware decoding becomes available for other devices. There is no timeline for hardware decode support, please don't ask for one.

Anyone have any idea how to Download videos from Navi-x? Appears to crash Xmbc when select download. Buffering also appears to be limited and video stream stops completely rather than continue buffering and play.

Apologies if this is not the place to discuss Navi-x on xmbc android.
[Android Apps and Games] THE_KINGDOM:
I believe that the Nexus Q has a higher hardware spec than the Pivos XIOS
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
A large number of devices do but in order to playback without choppyness or dropped frames you need hardware decoding which is only available for the XIOS currently.

A good example is the raspberry pi vs nexus 7 or odroid-x. The pi is less than half the hardware than the other two but doesn't have playback issues due to hardware acceleration helping it out.

Hi !

I just wanted to say that my Xperia Arc S runs XBMC very well !

ROM : Original Xperia T ICS Rom v5.0 for ARC/ARC-S based on (4.0.4) 587 [9th-Oct-2012]

Kernel : [KERNEL][ARC/ARCS]KTG anzu Kernel v1.52 for 4.1.B.0.587

Though, it's very hard to click on the items because all is very small in a smartphone screen ! :laugh:

How do you use XBMC with your smartphone ? With your finger ? Any remote control ?
[Android Apps and Games] Mardon:
Use different skin ;)

Gesendet von meinem GT-S5830 mit Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] adit9989:
Correct. Nexus 7 Tegra 3 is way higher in specs than XIOS but pretty much it can not play HD (1080p) in XBMC. I used another player (BS player) which uses HW acceleration and the video plays smootly.

From what I read the only ARM for which XBMC can be compiled curently with HW acceleration on is the Amlogic (same chip used in XIOS). They hava now a new chip, the Amlogic 8726-MX which has pretty decent specs - dual core A9 at 1.5 GHz. The first cheap Chinese TV sticks and boxes with this chip are just comming out now. If the HW acceleration did not change on this chip it should work with the XIOS software.

Do not confuse the other Chinese ARMs as Rockchip or Allwiner, there is no hardware acceleration available for those one,the chip can do it but the specs are not public or open sourced, so don't expect any HD from XBMC (and other player) for now.So don't buy an MK808 (Rockchip RK3066) for example, expecting to play HD, it won't without HW acceleration. I did not try but even other Androds players (like BS) which provide HW acceleration on Tegra 3 will not necessary provide on those chips.I'm waiting for this to be available: http://www.kimdecent.com/newrelease/76.html. It is not yet sure that the HW acceleration will work (using XIOS compilation) but is a good chance as is the same family/manufacturer of CPUs as the one XIOS is using.It should be in the same range as other TV sticks when available $60-70 including shipping, from aliexpress.

Hi,

I am on a Tf101 and I can stream and download from Navi.

You may want to give the 8-29 build a spin and see if that help. I had the most luck with Navi on that build.

I do know that Navi-x is unreachable or having server issues as of late, so that might also play into some of your problems. I think their server/s can't handle the growing popularity.

Hello, please to fix serious bugs that accompanies XMBC after the second September.

Where a mistake breaking through the window for finding files maybe Youtube.

Example: you enter a search window pops up and the self, and when you enter text. The image flickers and nothing nenajde.Uz I tried several versions and versions on: September 2, 2012 it has done it.

Would that please fix it??

ps: Where me is that few people have done External playback via MX player, but all versions contain the same chybu.Pro me this version is unusable. Thank you.

Hello was wondering if you were going to release your version of the crystax ndk? Would like to try building a non neon build for my own use with dice player external player support. Do I even need your version of the ndk to get it to work?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
At this point all I did was re-build the NDK with a few compiler flag tweaks. CrystaX has stated on his Trac instance that r8 should be out "soon" which will address the Tegra2 problem. I was working on an r8 build but it stalled and I haven't had a chance to resume my work due to outside pressures. If you want to work on a DicePlayer build I have included my notes on building the CrystaX NDK from source so it works with the Tegra2.

Change below files to have -mfpu=neon instead of whatever is pre-existing
- build/tools/builder-funcs.sh
- platform/ndk/build/tools/build-gnu-libstdc++.sh
- platform/ndk/build/tools/builder-funcs.sh
Add -ldl / -lmpfr / -lgmp to below (whatever one is missing)
- toolchain/gcc/gcc-4.6.3/configure.ac
- toolchain/gcc/gcc-4.6.3/configure
- gcc/gcc-4.4.3/configure.ac
- toolchain/gcc/gcc-4.4.3/configure
Remove Windows from $HOST_SYSTEMS
- platform/ndk/build/tools/make-release.sh
Remove Windows block
- platform/ndk/build/tools/rebuild-all-prebuilt.sh
[Android Apps and Games] blucmal:
Awesome thanks have no idea what I am doing but will have fun trying.:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I didn't either initially. It took me a few tries but I got it in the end. The good news is you'll get a crash immediately on launch if you don't get the ndk fpu flags updated right.

You will also want to clone my sources on github. There is a tegra2 branch with the non-neon patches.

If you get a patched version to work with diceplayer would you be willing to post back? I'm sure there are others that would be interested in your results.

Thanks for reply.

I do not know if you're aware of the MX Player app for Android, I personally tested on the same hardware (Mele A2000) in 1080p and 720p video playback with no problem audio / video.

I hope that will help you to solve this problem.

I also have an A2000 and have been using the older version of XBMC that's been hacked to work with MX player. All of my content is SD Xvid AVIs and SD x264 MP4s. Have you tried either of these on the build you're talking about? Any audio sync issues?

[poo]
[Android Apps and Games] tax87:
Yes I tried the lastest version with SD file divx from locali and network and it's ok.

I've the problem only with 720p and 1080p(full HD file). Do you have tried this kind of file with your modded version?

If all runs without problem can you post link to download mod version?

I don't have any HD content, but I'm pretty sure that MX will handle 720 will no problem at very least. Here's a Reddit post I made about XBMC with MX Player:
