Sorry, I was not as clear as I should have been. Don't worry about the sources, everything you need is in the dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zzeie8gnp6n4ze4/gS-4P_r1KK . When I made that post, MX 1.7 was still beta, so it and the codec had to be installed via APKs. Now they're in the Market, so install them from there.

So to recap, install MX Player from the Play store and the appropriate codec for your system. Install xbmc from the dropbox link. I didn't mention this on reddit, but you'll probably want to run xbmc once so that it creates the files on the SD card. Quit xbmc, copy playercorefactory.xml to /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata. Start xbmc and you should be using MX!

[poo]
[Android Apps and Games] patience88:
Thanx I'm gonna try

edit. Sorry but it did not work. XBMC did not make /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata folder. Only /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files

I tried to create the folder but .xbmc was not allowed. I created /xbmc/userdata and copied copy playercorefactory.xml in it. But that did not work. XBMC was still using it own player.

Do you know what went wrong?

Thanx

MX Player

Wow I got MX player to work with some XBMC plugins. Managed to steam 720p films using external player but I have an issue. When I try to play a file from a smb share it just gives me the message click ok when playback has ended and then doesn't launch anything. So just to recap, MX Player is launching with online streaming but not local or network files.

Can anyone explain why this might be happening??

What device are you using, a Mele as well? My experience has been limited to playing standard def Xvids and x264s on a local SATA drive. It's been working great for that, but I can't attest to any other scenarios.

[poo]

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

What were you using to explore the folder structure? Folders starting with a period might be hidden by default. You probably couldn't create ".xbmc" because it's already there.

[poo]
[Android Apps and Games] patience88:
I use ES file explorer. I'll check when I'm home. thanx

edit. You were right. They were hidden.

I added the file in the folder.

Now I get : External player is active Click ok when playback has ended.

But nothing is happening.

What went wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] poo706:
Hmm, I'm not sure what to say about that, it worked right off the bat for me. You've installed the free MX Player 1.7 from the Play store right? Have you run MX at all prior to trying XBMC?

[poo]
[Android Apps and Games] dentdntn:
Getting closer. Tried a local file and it also works with mx player within xbmc. Shared video files over my network from my pc to tablet don't work. Can I do anything to resolve this or is it something I need to do in my windows settings to make it work?
[Android Apps and Games] DZonikg:
Just to say that install yesterday and this app is epic ,now i can play my 1000 movies from pc on tablet and this app is same like pc version which is best media player ever,even HD play no problem ,i no that it playa try softver but on my devics no problem,i guess cpy can handle it.
[Android Apps and Games] dentdntn:
Glad your working but our tablets share the same Tegra 3 processor so I don't get why you can play your files from network and I can't. Both ASUS tablets in the end. It's got to be something to do with the actual sharing settings in Windows or are you using Linux?

[Android Apps and Games] poo706:
I'm glad that someone actually had good luck with it!
[Android Apps and Games] dentdntn:
I am grateful as I can stream via Icefilms in HD and use the other plugins which is great. It's just weird why my network files don't play via the external player within XBMC.

Strangely enough I can play the network files by going into MX Player without XBMC running.

I guess I will have to use XBMC with MX for streaming content and then just MX player on it's own for playing network video files. It's going to really bug me!
[Android Apps and Games] patience88:
I've managed to get it playing on my Mele A3700 with external player.:laugh:

But when playing movies I still got some lag:crying:

When I play movies directly with MX I don't have any lag :p
[Android Apps and Games] eozen81:
I have no issue with streaming my network folders (incl. pictures, movies). I believe it maybe related with your streaming settings.
[Android Apps and Games] dentdntn:
If I access the network files via default player in XBMC it works without any issues (but I obviously can't stream HD without stutters)

It's only if I choose dice or mx within xbmc that it gives me the same click ok message. I can stream from my network drives via mx and dice not using XBMC so it doesn't make sense. Another person has also stated the same issue so it's just not isolated to my tablet.

Surely if it was my network settings then it wouldn't stream anything from my shared drives at all?

It has to be something that XBMC isn't doing in relation to the playercorefactory.xml but what I don't know.
[Android Apps and Games] eozen81:
Oh yes sorry, you are right I

can not

stream HD without shutter, that's for sure. :rolleyes:

Hi,

es file explorer with MX player allow HW decoding on my network with 720p and some 1080p videos. know it is not in the philosophy of xbmc to have external players but is it a problem of smb mounting, cifs.ko missing?

No black screen issues for me since the version released on 10/20 for my Galaxy S 3. Only issued I noticed, I have the Navi-x add on added. I can normally see all the Cowboys games. But I couldn't see any games yesterday and Hell in the Cell PPV sound was flickering. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] zootoxin:
Would it not be possible to configure android xbmc to use another video player to play the movies? A bit like using DSplayer to play sopcast on the PC?

I have an advent Vega and I can player pretty much any video file using Dice Player, Mvideoplayer or Vplayer without problem.

Now, what I think people really want from XBMC is the menus and info etc lots of thumbnails and content from LAN.

Which XBMC center does fantastically well so if we could figure out a way to get XBMC to use a different player for the selected movie! Heypresto!!

Just a thought.

Has anyone goten one of these latest non neon builds working on a lg 2xwhitch the latest 2.3.4 stock rom?

I was able to run one of the early builds (don't know exactly which one) on this thread on it but the link is gone.

The newer builds start xbmc really slow or do not start at all. (and when they start after clicking a menu i get a black background and the app seems to be stuck)

I have the feeling thats this happens due to the low memory of the phone.

[Android Apps and Games] dentdntn:
Finally managed to get everything working in XBMC. I can stream in 720p via Icefilms and also access my film and TV library from my tablet with poster art etc.

I am using Dice Player but MX works as well. Full hardware acceleration via the external player is brilliant! No more stuttering playback.

I was having difficulty with network files playing via the external player but I found out that smb shares don't work with the external player. You have to share via UPNP. Enable UPNP in both my PC and tablet.

It was a bit flaky to be honest, sometimes my UPNP share would show and sometimes it wouldn't. Maybe someone can suggest why it is doing this?

Anyway after a few reboots of my tablet and PC it works like a dream.

Is it possible to access my files remotely using UPNP, say from work? If so can anyone give me a quick setup guide?

Vimeo plugin working?

Vimeo plugin is not working for me. It can be installed, but never be able to load video list. Can you confirm whether it should be working or not?

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

My Android stick MK808 runs smoothly with MX Player. For movies on my NAS, I install CIFS Manager (it requires root access), and mount my NAS drive as a local drive. In XBMC, just add the selected folder in my NAS as if it is a local folder. No stutter. (I haven't tried SMB yet, not sure I have the same problems as yours, but I need CIFS Manager for some other apps which can see only local drive, thus make use of it for XBMC as well).

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
No, eden does not have a build available for android. The android port "came of age" long enough after eden was released where you are stuck until the next official release or installing nightlies on your non-android devices.

[Android Apps and Games] Nizda1:
I got icefilms working but not from that download few posts up. I grabbed it the author's repo then installed the addon. The best way to grab all that stuff especially for anyone new to xbmc is via fusion installer. Search this thread I mentioned it couple weeks ago. Anyway Ice films is almost identical to 1channel and that works a lot smoother in terms of buffering but that could just be cause of the nightly.

Forgot, grab mikey1234 or similar repo also,his video addon is just awesome. It's like a supped up version of super TV of you've used that.

Stuttering for online and local video playback

I have Diceplayer set as my default for movies etc... outside of XBMC, meaning it's the default videoplayer for Android.

I tried streaming a small video and it was stuttering like crazy.

I am using the 10/26 or is it 10/29 build.

I tried with noNEON and NEON app.

This is my setup

Wifi N

Galaxy Tab with AOKP Milestone 6 (ICS 4.0.4)

Can someone please verify for this device to use NEON or noNeon?

Any ideas why this is so jerky. I can't watch anything in XBMC.

THANKS!
[Android Apps and Games] jdeacon:
Hi, I have a kindle fire Hd, Ive tried the neon and no neon XBMC and its works but the video is slowwwwwwww, I have read that its a problem with the hardware acceleration but i have read too that could be another compilation that it works for my kindle.

Everyone who has the kindle fire knows where I have to find?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
This is because general hardware decode support isn't available in xbmc yet. XBMC uses an internal player which is why DicePlayer and others work but not XBMC.

You have a NEON device.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
This is related to hardware decode support. The most recent builds should be fine on the fire aside from this. The fire is not the only device suffering from slow or choppy playback in XBMC.
[Android Apps and Games] droiduzr2:
Thanks for clarifying.

So just to be clear I am stuck (for now) with choppy video or is there a way to tell XBMC to use DicePlayer for video?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
There are ways to make it work with DicePlayer. Search this thread or over on www.xbmcandroid.com/forums Both have a bit of information on how to set this up.

Viewpad10s - Advent Vega - Tegra2

Hi,

the posted "xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug.apk" does not work on my Tegra2 Viewpad10s. Seems that the apk is for NEON-devices only.

I also tried the last nonNEON-apk "xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-2012-10-29-no-neon.apk" which works with the internal XBMC-player. The playerfactory.xml does not work with the actual nonNEON-apk:

- Tap on the movie and nothing happens.

- Keep on the movie and choose the MPC-HC (default) player which should be MXplayer and nothing happens.

What do I have to do to make the playerfactory.xml work with the nonNEON.apk ? Any ideas ?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The posted MX Player / DicePlayer builds are for NEON devices only. Someone will need to re-compile XBMC with the necessary patches in order to get it working on non-NEON devices.

As I have stated elsewhere and early in this thread, I will not be building XBMC with external player support for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] droiduzr2:
Thanks for the info.

I will likely not bother so much with XBMC this is just way too much effort for little return. Stuttering seems to be a common issue or is known. I don't have the time to read the entire forum and figure which piece goes where.

This basic info should be some kinda patch or file listed on page 1.

As a new user I don't find it encouraging.

I am just taking a guess here but would it not been easier for the Android app to simply point to the external player instead of trying to make a proprietary player.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
www.xbmcandroid.com/forum has an entire thread dedicated to getting dice and mx player working with XBMC. You may want to try posting a request for a non-NEON build there.

There are patches in the main XBMC ticket tracker and elsewhere online. They have not accepted the patches yet though so a different build is still necessary.

This is pointed out as the second item under the "Common Problems" heading in the 1st post. I have highlighted it in red now so hopefully it will be more obvious.

XBMC is supposed to be self-contained and the lead dev's made the call early on regarding this item. Keep in mind this is pre-alpha / developer preview code right now. They are well aware of the problem and are working on a fix but the state of hardware accelerated playback on Android sucks. Give it some time.

Hi there,

I got an issue of I/O FileNotFoundException on my devices using the Official XBMC Remote for Android when I tried to connect it to the Android Stick MK802 II on my TV.

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with AOKP Milestone #6 ROM (Android 4.0.4).

I've tried A LOT of XBMC NEON builds from code.google.com/p/xbmc-android/downloads/list.

Build 2012-10-10 and previous work fine. But after that date all builds show laggy video.

What happened on 2012-10-11 and beyond? How should I debug this?
[Android Apps and Games] RobertRoos_:
I think it's really bad that they can't fix this, I absolutley demand they release a fully working version tomorrow!

No, just kidding. Great work on this app, it's just awesome beeing able to have XBMC on your Android-devices now. I was more curious if the lag was because of me installing the wrong version or if it was because of what you wrote above. :) Now I now so thanks, gonna keep myself updated on coming releases. :)
[Android Apps and Games] dentdntn:
Very happy with using Dice as external player via XBMC especially for use with Ice Films. 720p is working fine without any judder.

On a separate note I was looking for a way to stream my movies and TV remotely to my TF300 tablet but XBMC doesn't manage to be cut the mustard at the moment. Probably improvements to come with Frodo but at the moment as it's server capabilities are a bit hit and miss.

I downloaded Plex for Android and it's also not worth the money due to it's lack of AC3 and DTS support.

If anyone want's to do the same as me. BubbleUPNP and Plex Media Server is the way to go. It's just a case of port forwarding and adding your files to the Plex media server and away you go. Even remotely accessing Itunes is a breeze.

If anyone needs help setting this up then let me know and I will help.

As long as you are outside of mkv and HD you should be OK for the most part. I've had nothing but problems playing back anything in MKV and any HD content. I've also run into troubles when using ac3/dts audio and sub titles. The general consensus is: if the content is a low enough profile and doesn't kill the CPU too bad for decode, you should be ok.
