[Android Apps and Games] bach0405:
for guys having a rk3066 device including TV dongles such as ug802, see this thread

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?2098-XBMC-with-MX-player-CIFS-and-md4-drivers

It gives the links to get the drivers to mount external HDD using SMB protocol, in order to have access to them as internal folders.

Then you can use updated xbmc apks adapted to MX player available in the second post.

tested successfully on a ug802 and on a 97s tablet : 720p videos can be watched through wifi without any trouble

Had this weird issue last night. I opened xbmc on my mk808 android stick and it ran fine for a couple of seconds. Then it suddenly scaled down and showed in a small size, app half the screen size. Tried rebooting both the app and the mk808 but it didn't work. Not until I cleared the apps cache and data it worked again.

What could cause this? Anyone else seen this happen?

hi. does anyone use the jellybean version of mx player with xbmc? I have been using diceplayer when I had icecream sandwich and also mx player worked brilliantly but now with xbmc diceplayer doesn't work on my jellybean device. mx player loads at the menu screen but I can't use it to stream from icefilms anymore. has the dev of mx changed the code so you can't use it directly with xbmc? does anyone have a working apk for mx player that they can send me if not or advise me on which version works on xbmc? I think poo provided links earlier in this thread so if you read this message can you help?

cheers

Noob question coming up: if I get a nas running and want to stream content from it to my rk3066 device, a mk808 w Finless 1.5a rom, is it possible to use xbmc for this? Will xbmc se the nas? Or is some modding required? Does the upnp on the nas have any purpose here?

As you can see I'm kind of new to all this with media players, nas:es n stuff :)

I've been using MX 1.7.8 from the Play store to play local content, I've never streamed with it. It's been working just fine.

[Android Apps and Games] tash78:
This is why xbmc was made for... I'm streaming from my nas (netgear duo) to my xbmc pc (a fusion based pc: foxconn a3500). The question here is if android xbmc version will be able to play all the movies (the hw acc. issue)

XBMC is supporting several file sharing protocols, have a look here for more information: wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=File_sharing

Hope this helps!

Works just great with my nas. Streaming etc.

Only Problem is, its kind of overloading my router. After 1 hour streaming my tablet looses connection to my router (tplink wr 842nd) and i have to restart the Router. Streaming with other players (mx Player, stock Samsung Player) doesnt have this problem at all. So i trink its xbmc related.

Its so annoying, works perfect and suddenly my router sucks again.

does anyone has a clue how to get rid of it?

I just bought MK808 Android TV thing. I loaded XBMC and able to access my NAS. The only issue I am facing, is when I add the NAS folder with music to the Music section, I can't to a "Long Press" to get the options menu so I can tell it to do a scan. I hold the Left mouse button but it just won't give me the options.

If I'm on the Android Home screen and I hold down the left button the option to change wallpaper, etc. does come up.

What am I doing wrong?

BTW, when I saw this thread and the ability for XBMC to get to NAS, I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!!

Can't wait for the HW Accel to kick in...

thank you

With my Sumvision Media Player box the "Menu" key on the remote brings up the submenu to scan my SMB for media. My only problem is, with 200 Gb on my network drives, scanning is taking a looooong time.
[Android Apps and Games] bugaboo90:
I don't have a menu button because this mk808 doesn't come with a remote.. I can only use a standard keyboard and mouse. I'm sure there is a way because I have seen videos of people running xbmc on mk808.. thx
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
Have you tried looking here? http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Music_library#Context_Menu

It says to use the 'C' key on your keyboard. Hope that helps.

Got my MK808 running with XBMC and MX player.

Icefilms plays really well but 4OD and Iplayer now want to use the external player which won't work with those kind of streams.

Does anyone know how to alter the playercore xml to only play specific plugins with the external player?
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
I'm not convinced the router is at fault. I've had the same experience using various routers and have found clearing the XBMC cache solves the problem, which suggests the app is at fault, which seems to agree with the fact you and I have not experienced the problem with any other app.

Hi

I am getting one of those android "thing" as you mentioned. Which xbmc did you install? I am still trying to figure xbmc out.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dentdntn:
Hi,

I recently got a MK808 android on a stick. A9 dual core with 8gb nand.

JB installed but obviously no flash support due to JB not supporting it.

Wifi is a turd.

Perfect if it's 1cm from your router but anything else is a no no. I really need usb wifi adapter support but I would have to build a driver but I am a noob so it's beyond me.

For anyone with the MK808 wanting to use an external player download here.

[Android Apps and Games] Jurolino:
Thanks for your feedback but as I said 5 other players work flawlessly here, also my WII etc. Could use them instead but xbmc is just much more comfortable and in every other way just perfect for my needs.

Thanks :) , gonna try that. I'll report back when if it works for me too.

When im trying to stream from my machine via SMB - WI-FI the hardware acceleration doesn't work .

I Tried the MX Player but it doesn't support DTS sound give me an error .

Is there an already patched XBMC with the Hardware acceleration .
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
The only build I've found with HW acceleration is the Pivos one, for armplayer machines.

I have found, when streaming over wifi, that files played directly are not buffered, whereas those played from a playlist are and so don't have any stuttering.
[Android Apps and Games] Tenny:
For my player (G-Box Midnight) I've found the same thing about the HW Acceleration. Sadly the updates for those players are not common...

My files struggle to play whether it's over wifi or ethernet. I'm struggling on figuring out if it's related to the network or not though.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
It appears I've missed a few things over the last two days... Some general replies, not being snarky, just covering the four main areas of discussion I've seen while catching up on the thread.

First up: New build is online. Enjoy

Second: MX Player / Dice Player / Other external player may or may not work with XBMC and plugin content. I looked briefly at the patches and it does not look promising. There are dedicated threads over on www.xbmcandroid.com/forums discussing external player configurations. Please take the conversation there for fuller details. The user who is doing most of the support for these configurations is keeping an eye on the various threads. I will not be supporting this configuration.

Third: The external player build is what you found a link to. There is only the one version out there. The patches were done back in August / early September and have not been touched since then. If someone would like to take a shot at getting them integrated into upstream, please do. Until someone picks up where the original patches left off there will not be further builds.

Fourth: XBMC should run on any Android device with >= 2.3.0.
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
Are you playing the files directly from the remote file system or adding them to your library and playing them from a queue or playlist?
[Android Apps and Games] crimar89:
I got the Asus TF-300 with tegra 3 cpu. Wich version of the xbmc should i choose?
[Android Apps and Games] ylexot:
NEON
[Android Apps and Games] tolli84:
Working great just wondering where I enter the navi x source at ?
[Android Apps and Games] Tenny:
Well... all the files reside on a server about 25 feet away. It's running lubuntu, has ability to share via smb (same experience with both). The XBMC database is a shared MySQL database (shared with an ATV2). So I guess it's in the library, but I'm not queueing them or anything, just playing them.

I'ved tried many different configurations, nfs, smb, mysql, non-mysql, ethernet, etc. Videos will play for a little bit and eventually close back to the menu screen. Most are pretty choppy, some get out of sync quickly. This happens for SD to HD content. SD content doesn't last much longer if at all. Sometimes they last 2 minutes, sometimes 15. Not much more than that though.
[Android Apps and Games] crimar89:
It just went black when i start the app :S
[Android Apps and Games] ylexot:
Just wait. It'll start up.
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
Unless you add them to the local library (press "C" on keyboard / select "Add item to library" ) XBMC is pulling all the extra information (the info you see while it's playing) from the server each time. Adding it to the library creates a local database of this and makes streaming much smoother.

lower resolutions

is possible in the next update, add lower resolutions of the screen?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The builds here should support the native resolution of your device. I've had good success on a variety of resolutions. This is also a generally un-modified form of XBMC.

Is there a specific device that you are having a resolution problem on? Also, which skin are you using?

[Android Apps and Games] shpitz461:
Maybe you guys can post your logcat here: XBMC Android Forum.

Kemonine said he'll take a look at it when he gets the chance, it's been non-working on the XOOM ever since XBMC was released for android. Random crashes no matter what you do no matter which screen you're in...
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Yep... And I've looked over various log cats and it's always a fatal reference to "DEADBEEF" or similar. I saw it before with another device that was on a very iffy JB build. The other non-XOOM devices that saw something similar were fixed in later releases of the ROM. I have a feeling it is something inside the device drivers / OpenGL system somewhere but I lack the expertise to really tear it apart. I also lack a XOOM for testing.

I try to loop back to it every now and again but I've never managed to find what could be causing the problem in the end.
[Android Apps and Games] dpassaggio:
re:

It is the device in question is an Android TV Box 2.3 (bottom carry the Specification), practically the skin is the default, and has a resolution of 1280x720, but the problem is that with this resolution streaming video becomes slow, however, if it can lower the resolution would solve the problem, you have any solution?

Are you streaming HD content or higher end SD content? There are general video slowness / choppyness issues currently.
[Android Apps and Games] dpassaggio:
re:

no, I have selected stream in SD, but remains slow, in fact I think that the only solution would be to force a resolution lowering of the program, because the same video stream with the browser is very good, however with XBMC is slow
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
I'm beginning to think the concept of XBMC "launching" itself as an OS on top of an OS is flawed. Video and audio streaming works splendidly using ES File Manager on Android but as soon as I switch to XBMC I get all sorts of problems and none of the advantages of the Android OS: no media scanning, no multitasking and poor network performance. If the Android builds took the approach of building upon and working with the Android OS instead of teetering on top of it we might actually get somewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] dpassaggio:
amwebby You're right, but to example works for me perfectly, in the sense that the law devices, it is very fluid in the passage of the tabs, the only flaw is the slow video streaming
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Do other sd streams work ok? If you rip the stream in question to a local file, does it play fine in XBMC? This sounds more like the general decoding being slow (xbmc currently lacks hardware decode) than anything else.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Keep in mind XBMC is designed to be a stand alone system that runs on whatever platform they support. Right now the big problem with playback is hardware acceleration. If XBMC was using the hardware decoder's available on Android devices playback would generally be fine. As it stands that is not the case.

A number of the XBMC devs have been working on getting XBMC to work with OMX and other hardware decoding libs but have not made significant progress. There is a ton of work that goes into achieving hardware decoding on Android, especially if you want the general case which is what the dev's are targeting.

As far as media scanning and some of the other "internals" of Android, XBMC was never meant to work with these, it is meant to provide a media playback environment that is stand alone. It can be setup to work off a shared library (see elsewhere in this thread and on xbmcandroid.com/forums) but the shared library is meant to work with other instances of XBMC, not other applications.

Can't download skins anymore, the redux was working great a couple of revs ago. What happend?
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
Wot I said. It all appears back to front to me. I can see why XBMC has ended up like this as it started as a standalone environment designed to work on a machine that was only ever intended to run games. I just think it might be time for fork designed to work as either an OS in its own right or a native app. As it stands it falls uncomfortably between those two stools.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Then you're running into the broader non-hardware accelerated decode problem.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
No idea, where are you pulling the skin from?
[Android Apps and Games] dpassaggio:
I did a test on another much more powerful hardware with Android 4.0, and the result does not change, same problem with any kind of video lenses, so it is certain that the problem is in compatibility with XBMC video decoding Android
[Android Apps and Games] adit9989:
It does not matter how powerfull the hardware is, without hardware acceleration you will not be able to run high bit rate HD videos.Some lowbit rate (YouTube style, 720p may run OK even without HW acceleration). Currently THE ONLY CPU for which XBMC may support HW acceleration is the Amlogic (same used in Pivos box) , and you need to use a special build for it which enables HW acceleration, so not these nightly builds.There are a few Amlogic SoC models including dual core 1.5 GHz one.There are a number of Chinese tablets using it but few TV sticks and boxes available, most use other chips for which there is no HW acceleration available, as the manufacturer did not release details and source code for the chip VPU, whic is very specific to each chip.

You can try however to play using an external player (like BS or MX one). These players implement HW acc on many SoCS. Tegra 3 for example does not have any problems playing 1080p60 , but without HWacc is a no go, you will get something close to a slide show not a movie.But again, if your box has some other ARM , it's probably not supported by those players also, so only SW playback is available (so forget about most HD content).
[Android Apps and Games] Fyndklippet:
Just get more from the apperance in skins, it is just empty when pressing get more
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Likely caused by them doing some internal version bump stuff. Give it some time and I would expect the skins to start appearing inside the app. In the mean time you should be able to download the skins and install them manually. There are instructions on the XBMC wiki and elsewhere on how to do it manually.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Back-lit Menu/Back keys issue

Hi kemonine, poster at xbmcandroid,com/forums but havent seen you post there in a while

for quite a while now the builds have had an issue with the Back-lit Menu/Back keys go out on on the Samsung Galaxy S3...

On the Galaxy S1 Gingerbread the Menu/Back Keys backlight go out after timeout, but not on the S3 ICS/Jellybean.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I've been keeping an eye on things over there as well. Not sure on the backlight for the keys turning off. Is there a dedicated thread for the item on xbmcandroid?

Hoping someone here can help - I'm thinking of buying one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-4...ternet_TV_Media_Streamers&hash=item4abe874c21

It's basically a Visson ATV102 and looks great - the ebay item says they've preinstalled xbmc which is ideal.

Does anyone know if this particular player with xbmc is known to support HW acceleration? It's running an Amlogic 8726M3 Cortex A9 CPU 1.2GHz I want to connect it to my network via Ethernet and play 720p MKV's and avi's directly using xbmc.

I've done a lot of looking into this and genuinely can't find the answers as the player itself seems to be quite obscure and xmbc is very young on android so far by the look of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... :)

When you say "outside player" do you mean MXplayer etc? As mentioned previously I'm thinking of buying this from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....024117793&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123#rpdId

The seller has said that it does support HW decode because of the AMLOGIC CORTEX A9 CPU Max1.2GHz processor and will play MKV and AVI over ethernet - they've installed XBMC themselves so it's ready to roll - anyone here know if that means it's fully hw decode support or is it still flakey?

Would it just be easier for me to buy an Apple TV to install XBMC on it? I'm guessing it's much more supported/stable at this time running XBMC on an Apple TV?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Yes

They may be trying to ride on the open nature of the Pivos builds and some other things. Right now if you want something of a guarantee with XBMC you need the Pivos XIOS. Other sellers and manufacturers are using the same motherboard from the XIOS and selling re-branded boxes that are "XBMC compatible". If you poke around www.xbmcandroid.com/forums you'll see a number of users with non-Pivos equipment and some of the troubles they have run into.

The best option right now is the XIOS and if that doesn't work the next best option is to hold off until things are further along.
