Regarding my purchase of the Neo X5:

I can't at the moment, particularly if it requires root, since I haven't rooted it yet. I will soon to get DroidMote working. I think this device, with DroidMote, and XBMC working will be a really slick set top box. It's not bad with the bluetooth keyboard/touchpad I own, but with an Android touchpad/keyboard could be really great.

I haven't installed Root Explorer or Astro yet, since I really haven't had it long enough to do some basic things, initial setup, generally checking it out.

This page has all the tech specs, if your intent is to find info on the processor:

http://www.system-specs.com/tv-electronics/tv/accessories/minix-neo-x5-technical-specification-3898

Dual-core 1.4ghz processor with a quad-core GPU processor.

I installed the beta XBMC APK directly from XBMC.org, and seems to work 100%, but I obviously have only been poking around so far.

I can't make any comment on the live TV functionality - when I try to enable something like Myth TV, it starts looking for some sort of TV server... I don't know if it's expecting me to point to one that exists out on the internet (maybe a service you pay for), or if it's looking for a separate server that I'm supposed to have on my home network (I don't have a TV studio lol), or if it's trying to talk to a network-connected cable TV box (like my FiOS tuner?), or what. I think it started throwing warnings that I didn't have a "PVR" configured.

(I may have that acronym wrong, I'm at work currently, so this is from my recollection.)

Is this the same issue that you are having, possibly?

Is there any external player that can play from smb shares?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
None that I have found. There is a thread on XAF (http://www.xbmcandroid.com/forums/xbmc-android-tweaks/297.htm) detailing the findings thus far but it's not looking good. I did find the following tidbit last night when using ES File Explorer to open a media file in MX Player from a samba share (also posted to XAF). Unfortunately I've not had much of a chance to look into the find just yet.

We are also working on a compatibility matrix for external players: http://www.xbmcandroid.com/forums/xbmc-android-compatibility/343.htm

Hey guys two questions

First thanks for all the support on xbmc

My firquestion is why isnt xbmc workjng aokp or 4.1 or higher ive tried many roms and none seem to support xbmc only my stock jelly bean touch wiz rom

Seocond I own a jynxbox android tv and Ive heard of it haveing the capability of hardware acceleration through xbmc were can I find info or files on this
[Android Apps and Games] geolemon:
Really?

I'm dating myself here - but I used to be able to play files that were on my PC from my XBMC installed on my old black Xbox...

...remember, when it was XBox Media Center?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
It works if you use the internal player, but external players are problematic at the moment. For some reason external players launched via xbmc for sources backed by samba aren't working. If you don't use an external player with a samba source it will "work".
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
What do you mean not working? There are stuttering issues and a number of other problems with 720p/1080p in xbmc on most devices currently...

Look for the builds on the pivos forum for the right board that your jynxbox has. You'll need one setup to use the amlogic hardware decoding. There is some dicussion on xbmcandroid.com/forums regarding the jynxbox and some of the various thing you'll need or want.
[Android Apps and Games] kruuth:
I have an MK802+ with it's own internal player. Is there a way to configure playercorefactory.xml to work with that?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
If you know the package of the included player you can look at the playercorefactory.xml file setup by the XAF builds and use it as a template for creating a new player that is the default. Currently only the XAF builds support external players.

There are also a couple support threads on xbmcandroid.com/forums that have further info and support for the external player stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] geolemon:
Is there a general FAQ?

I'm interested in trying to get "live TV" working.

All I've done with this very new installation are pokes and stabs to generally explore so far, but I noticed when I tried to enable MythTV, it immediately complained about not having a live TV server configured.

I'm unclear if this is referencing other hardware that it expects on my network, or an external server/service, or just a configuration.

This may even not be Android-specific. I'm just not familiar with it, but the XBMC features definitely tease some functionality! :D

Please advise, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Mk.Xal:
Just to say that the last build works very fine on my P1000 under CM 10.1 (internal player, sources from SMB, TV out with hdmi dock...)

Thank :)
[Android Apps and Games] tashkas:
you should configure myth tv settings becouse its set to default, and then enable it.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The XBMC Wiki (wiki.xbmc.org) has a ton of good, general information. Having said that are areas with info on Frodo and Eden. You'll want to focus on Frodo specific information if there is any kind of delineation. The builds of XBMC for Android are Frodo.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomschayk:
All is running smooth at the moment. Only thing i can't get to work is showing my tv-series in my library. I tried almost every filename possible but still no luck. Any thoughts on that?

[Android Apps and Games] wallaceff:
I'm looking for LiveTV help for a neon device. I've downloaded installed the Jan 16 build and the playercorefactory.xml and copied it to the correct location. I have mxplayer free installed.

By default, it seems the newest versions of the nightlies play using the software player and there is no playercorefactory.xml in the /Android...../ directory.

When I copy the new playercorefactory.xml over and click to play a video or live tv, nothing happens.

When I long press and hold over a video file and chose "play with" all of the installed video players that I have do nothing when I select them, but dvdplayer uses the software decoder again.

If I then go back and delete playercorefactory.xml, the option to "play with" is gone?

Do external players work on the latest nightlies at all?

Any ideas??
[Android Apps and Games] MaVe_64:
Thats a familiar issue. Why don't you just use the internal player fot live TV? Press C (or long press) and you get a menu, click 'play with' and choose DVD player, this is the internal player. Most live streams are SD quality anyways.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The builds from xbmcandroid are the only ones supporting external players on android at the moment. We are prepping an updated release of those builds. Keep an eye out for a major release of that build, it should be posted soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Sounds like you ran into the issue with SMB + external player on android. The "fix" is to update playercorefactory.xml to not use an external player with samba currently. I am looking closer at the issue and hopefully I can find a good fix. I'm having a hard time finding any external players that speak the samba protocol natively...
[Android Apps and Games] MaVe_64:
No I don't mean playback, I mean scraping library info of my TV series. My Movies are on the same SMB share and the scraping goes OK there. So I dont get any info on my TV-series. On a Windows XBMC it does work with the same SMB share. That's what's strange.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Oh, that is very strange indeed. I've not seen or heard of a problem in this case. Can you try removing the source and re-adding it? I had an issue with the Pivos release of XBMC where it wouldn't scan a samba source if it crashed or was terminated before it had a chance to run through a large chunk of the scan. I ended up setting it to scan to 100% after deleting and re-adding the source. It's been working fine since I did this.

You're not messing up the thread, that question is why the thread is still open :)

When I am adding files from SAMBA XMBC will not play through MX player only thru the default player nor if I long touch to use the choose the player option, MX player will not engage.

If I add videos through Upnp protocol MX player is the default player and it engages and will play the stream but I cannot add any movies to the movie library using Upnp, ie: no meta data.

Why was this set up like this? I must be missing something here. Why is XBMC default player used for SAMBA not MX?

I have the X5 and just installed XBMC (12.0-RC3 Git:20130102-7a6cb7f). Never used it before - using it more to listen to my ripped music files. Just about all formats of audio plays well with the exception of *.ape files - lots of audio dropouts and have had XBMC lock up at least once while playing one. Also, have some audio in *.wma format that won't pay for some reason.

Apparently there are issues with video playback with the X5 in XBMC - due to lack of HW decoding support is what I am hearing. For me personally, I am having trouble with addons. Youtube addon results in choppy playback. Jazzradio addon forces an exit out of XBMC when selecting a channel. Install fails on Spotimc, but don't think device is supported yet. Where are these failed events logged in XBMC?

I have a chance to get my hands on an Allwinner A10 based device, my choices are either 512mb or 1gb of RAM. Is 512 enough to run XBMC? Should I even consider the Allwinner devices? I see the FAQ doesn't have anything good to say about them.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:

You will want 1Gb of ram if you have choices. I've not dealt with the allwinner devices and cannot make any assessment of their quality. Also which FAQ are you referring to?
[Android Apps and Games] kruuth:

You're not. The below point is a good one.

It may be possible to get the above running on non-neon devices, but it's still early. If you read through the thread there are a lot of odd issues that have popped up here and there for some devices. I won't be looking at getting this to work on non-neon just yet, but I'll been keeping an eye on its development.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
If you are looking at the official XMBC FAQ and they say to steer clear of allwinner, I would do so. Also avoid the Gbox Midnight. Nothing but trouble lies ahead with those boxes from what I've seen.

I have a Mele A2000 with an Allwinner A10 chip. One of the "great" things about them was that their SoC included a badass video processing unit (VPU). Team XBMC went back and forth with Allwinner for quite a while with the intent of XBMC actually being able to utilize the VPU. Unfortunately Allwinner screwed around and displayed no interest in actually making this work. And now that their A31 chip is out, it appears as though they no longer care about the A10 at all. It's extremely unfortunate, the Meles are sweet otherwise. http://www.j1nx.nl/xbmc-allwinner-a10-update-5-last/

subtitles in combination with XBMC and MXPlayer

Hi all,

My company has made an app where you can launch subtitles in combination with XBMC and MXPlayer.

SubsLauncher is a free to use subtitle launcher for your favorite movie on android device. The idea behind is, you got your movie, but need a subtitle? Just launch your video “open as” and choose SubsLauncher to search automatically for your subtitles!

The application is using the opensubtitles.org search engine to search for your subtitles, soon we will add your favorite subtitles engine. You have to install MXPlayer (free/pro), to use this application.

What our application does, it downloads the subtitle and injects this right away, along with the movie into MXPlayer. However we are not affiliated with MXPlayer.

By modifying playerfactory.xml in XBMC you are able to use this app as alternative subtitles engine to download subtitles for your movies.

More information or how you can obtain the app, visit http://subslauncher.tvdongle.nl

Thanks.

hey guys I'm looking for a new android hdmi stick or settop box for using xbmc with working hardware decode for 1080p movies

i've searched alot but i didnt find THAT machine for my opinion, i want a fast dualcore (or quad) stick/box for web-browsing and streaming and it shoud play my 1080p movies in xbmc without an external player.

i found 2 devices but i'm not sure if they can play xbmc with hw decode:

[Android Apps and Games] dgcruzing:
I agree with the big K..

At this stage you might get a little frustrated unless you want to play..

I do have the XAF build running on a M1 ATV3000 single core.. Pivios latest Android build, Overclocked to 900mhz on Performance governor..

It's the best its been so far.. And would love to upgrade to a dual core.. As even running Android on these box's are also little sticky..

With the XAF XBMC on top, and shutting unnecessary rouge programs from hogging memory, I almost have an acceptable system..

In saying that, I have upgraded to the galaxy S3 as a daily phone now and the difference verses dual core and single core is wonderful.. Thus once there are sticks and box's available that can run truly at 1500-2100mhz with the right ram in.. Then these builds of XBMC will be rocking...

Nothing specific about DTS though.
