I've been using it all day.

It works very well. I also have the Oval Elephant, MK802 and the CX-01. Out of the 4 sticks I own this is the one I like the most so far.

I got a 6801 in Antutu Benchmark, it runs at 1.2ghz so that is why it's a little slower than rk3066 tablets.

I won't take up this thread with a review, but I posted some comments on cnx-software(dot)com.

I've been playing sd avi files in XBMC for about 5 hours now with no real heat build up.

I streamed sd avi's and sd mp4's from my ftp server without issue.

I streamed a bunch of shows through Navi-x with just the basic buffering that I see normally on my htpc.

Basically it worked well. It runs about 50% cpu usage playing back sd avi's.

I can't wait for hardware decoding in XBMC, but untill then I'll watch my HD content with MX Player.

There is a version out which uses Diceplayer as standard player and Diceplayer has HW support. I have run 1080p mkv on both my Acer A510 tablet and my SGS2 mobile and it runs perfect. It uses Diceplayer interface during playback other than that there is no difference to rest of XBMC. You can find the build and a file which is to be placed in a certain folder which I have explained in a README file which is in the same folder on my mirror for the builds. Believe it is Link no. 2. I have also added an Addons folder on my mirror for addons to XBMC. So far only Navi-X has been made available.

Give it a try :)

Info about my mirror...

I have noticed that many people try to download from my link as anonymous user which will lead to a 1 day ban if you try to login as anonymous more than 10 times within 2 minutes.

So please use the link that kemonine96 has made in his first post as it seems to be certain users that do this often so please use the link as I will have to ban those IPs that try to connect endlessly to prevent the speed of my connection to be slowed down for other users that use the link correct.

If you have any questions on how to use the link or if you want to login with and FTP client then send me a PM and I will gladly help you with it. Just to prevent my connection from being hammered :)

And if you have any suggestions for things that you might think could be relevant to add to my mirror then I am open to suggestions. I have added an Addons folder for addons such as Navi-X and other addons. Also added the build that uses Diceplayer and support HW decoding with a README and the file you need to add to your device.

So HW decoding is supported using this particular build and the enclosed file, so please try that before you ask kemonine96 when HW decoding will supported in his builds as that will be added when other issues has been addressed so this build is worth testing in the meantime.

I have testet it on Acer Iconia A510 tablet and SGS2 4.1.1 Cyanogen and works perfect on both my devices.

Acer A501

Thanks for the xbmc for android. Well done!

I installed the latest release on my Acer Iconia A501. Works well. Streams from SMB and unrars before playing. Cant wait to be able to play 720p and 1080p without stutters.
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
which xbmc file did you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Which device and container format are you using? Also, which build suffers this problem? Can you try a new build and clear the application cache before running? Even if you are on the latest build, please try clearing the app cache again.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
HW Decode (Dice Player)

In response to the DicePlayer build floating around: I've taken a closer look and found this: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/13267

I will be tracking this ticket and until it is included as a fix with XBMC I will not be including it in my builds. I want to keep my builds as close to upstream as possible so the waters don't get too muddy. The XBMC Android port is still early, it will take some time for the developers to have everything 100%.
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
hi what do you mean by container format? I always clear cache and i've tried all the builds including the latest still the same issue. I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus on stock Jellybean.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
AVI / MKV / similar. Also, are you streaming over wifi / samba / windows file share / nfs / other?

From what I see in the phone specs the hardware should generally be able to playback video / audio without a problem. The only thing that I can think of is there may be problems related to Jellybean. Others have met with very spotty success on Jellybean devices. I think the only JB device that "just works" is the Nexus 7 right now based on user reports.
[Android Apps and Games] sreeram180:
Hi bro video code are detected in urs tab?

I can't able detect video.can plz provide file which u download

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
I tried this and it seems to work with local files.They play smoothly using the Dice Player both audio and video from the video files play witout stuttering. The only thing it isnt doing is play streams from add ons such as the Sports Devil add on. I keep getting "Video cannot be played".

Is there a way I can make the playercorefactory.xml file play streams using DicePlayer?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
You want the NEON version of XBMC for the Transformer Prime TF201
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
That will be up to DicePlayer. From what I saw of the patch XBMC will pass a URI to the external player. If the external player doesn't recognize the URI, you're probably out of luck.
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
You must be right. It must be an issue with Jellybean cos it works without a hitch on my Tablet,Acer A500 running stock ICS. All the files mentioned above just do not work. They all stutter both video and audio on video playback i.e on the Galaxy Nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] shpitz461:
Hi kemonine96, did you have time to look @ the non-Neon Motorola Xoom issue? Looking forward to do more testing :)
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
Do i need to include the diff.android.patch file which is about 6.8KB, in the same folder as the playercorefactory.xml? or do i need to do something about this file diff.android.patch in order for streaming to work?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I did look through the log cat and it looks similar to the previous one. The only thing I noticed is that it looks like there was a touch event loop in there right before it crashed but that doesn't seem like something that would cause a failure.

I really do not know what is causing it. At this point I'd say keep trying the updated builds and hopefully it starts working fine. I would also look for updated ROMs if you are not on the stock ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] staticaDK:
I just wanted to make sure that I support kemonine96 and his builds completely and that the workaround I have linked to is simply my attempt to give you a taste of what XBMC for Android will be capable of playing when HW support is incorporated. I think that a clean and true XBMC is the right way to go but as I knew that many people have Android devices and I myself love the Androids community for its openness and willingness to help eachother and work on fixing problems then I thought that linking to an alternative build which uses the HW support that is in Diceplayer would be a sort of preview for what the true and pure XBMC Android build will be capable of playing.

So the Diceplayer 'patch' is just interesting as it shows the potential of XBMC when it reaches the level where HW support in incorporated. It takes time but I hoped that this Diceplayer solution would give people a chance to fiddle with their warious devices running on various Android versions and hopefully enjoy HD content for now.

I have found an interesting thing about the builds from in here. I tried converting a 720p MKV x264 tv episode to 720p H264 MP4 and on my A510 tablet atleast it runs perfectly when I have encoded it to 720p H264 MP4.

If anyone can try and encode something from 720p MKV x264 to 720p H264 MP4 and test if you also get smooth playback in XBMC on Android then I would appreciate that :)

I suspect the MKV x264 combination for being the reason for the spikes I had in CPU usage during playback of 720p content as CPU seems much calmer when running 720p H264 MP4.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
You are correct. The mkv file container is much "heavier" on the CPU than the mp4 container.

The following items I've established cause problems when you don't have hardware decode support

AC3 Audio

DTS Audio

MKV (depending on the quality of the audio / video)

Subtitles

I held off on calling out these "gotchas" because this is an early release and I didn't want to scare anyone from trying. The ability to playback the above items is greatly dependent on your CPU power, RAM, NEON support and the like.
[Android Apps and Games] juami:
Diceplayer support anonyous SMB sharing and HTTP. and I am working for adding authentication.

I can play Vimeo HD video using Diceplayer.
[Android Apps and Games] daweeze02:
Sorry just a bit confused by this. Are you saying he posted the link with the Diceplayer on the first Page? If so I do not see it.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I have not posted a link to the dice player build and I do not plan on putting a link in the OP to avoid confusion. staticaDK has provided information on where the build is located in his posts.

I am tracking the trac ticket that has a patch to enable external player support on android and once it is incorporated into mainline xbmc it will be available in my builds.
[Android Apps and Games] staticaDK:
No I might have been a bit unclear about explaining it. The mirror that I host is an FTP, so when you put your mouse over the link without clicking you can see the link in the bottom at your browser. If you then use that info in a FTP program such as Flashfxp then you have IP, port, user and password in the link from the first page. With that info you can login to my mirror and see the folders that are there which the link does not link directly to. You can also use IE or Firefox to login. Simply comy the adress from Mirror 2 into you browsers address bar and remove the file name from the address and hit enter. That should also take you to the folders where you can then see the individual folders.

As I am a junior member I am not yet allowed to link to external sites in my posts so if you cant figure it out yourself then you can PM me as I can send external links in PMs but not in forum replies.

Hope this was a better description :)
[Android Apps and Games] daweeze02:
Okay got it. I'm on my galaxy so didn't try that ftp. I was looking at the first Page for a link and then I was thrown off about the anonymous ftp access, was looking for a username and password lol.
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
Did you try it with any other streaming add on say ones from SportsDevil? Im trying to include another external player such as vplayer into the playercorefactory.xml file but dont know how to achieve this. vplayer tends to play most streaming links on android devices very well. Just need the lines of code for this player. Cheers for all your help
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
Does anyone have an idea how and where I should add the following lines of code to the playercorefactory.xml file so that DicePlayer can carry out the streaming of videos from plugins instead of getting "video cannot be played" errors:

<!-- Internet streams -->

<rule name="streams" internetstream="true">

<rule name="flv/aacp/sdp" mimetypes="video/x-flv|video-flv|audio/aacp|application/sdp" player="DVDPlayer" />

<rule name="mp2" mimetypes="application/octet-stream" filetypes="mp2" player="PAPlayer" />

</rule>

playercorefactory.xml lines of code goes thus:

<playercorefactory>

<players>

<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

<filename>com.inisoft.mediaplayer.a</filename>

<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>

</player>

</players>

<rules action="prepend">

<rule video="true" player="MPC-HC"/>

</rules>

</playercorefactory>
[Android Apps and Games] staticaDK:
Make sure you have updated Diceplayer to newest version. I think it was yesterday that Play told me there was an update for it and I can stream from Navi-X but did get video cannot be played errors alot before that update. I think it was yesterday I updated Diceplayer. Also make sure that the Diceplayer you use is the one from INISOFT_DEV and not the old from Inisoft and newest version is 2.0.10.
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
I've got the latest update from INISOFT_DEV installed already. I have no problem using Navi-X but when it comes to other add ons such as the sports streaming plugins,it refuses to play them giving the same error mentioned above. But when I select the option for DVDplayer,it plays but the streams stutter both audi and video. The reason why i would've prefered the Dice Player instead.
[Android Apps and Games] juami:
This patch is not for daily use. It is just a technical demo.

I am working to add more festures to xbmc and diceplayer.
[Android Apps and Games] nasimdejai:
oh cool. keep up the good work. will be looking forward to a version fully useable

Still the same random crashing on XOOM... :( stock JB ROM Wi-Fi only XOOM.

If someone could let me know what log cat program to use I'll get a log up...
[Android Apps and Games] shpitz461:
Connect the Xoom via USB.

run the following:

adb devices

The Xoom should be listed.

If it is, run the following:

adb logcat -c

This will clear the log.

Run XBMC and let it crash.

Then run

adb logcat -d > c:\mylogcat.txt

XBMC on CT 704

Hi, I tryed it on my tablet 7" CT 704 (Carrefour Tablet)

here the specifications:

Firmware version	2.3.4

Kernel version	2.6.34

Instruction Set	armv7l

Manufacturer	ARM Limited

Name	ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v7l)

Operational Frequency	800.0 MHz

Hardware	AMLOGIC MESON-M1 8726M SZ

Features	swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3

It is a NEON device and in effect the xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-95db2bbffb40d4800e519a2edd5801719175bcd4-full-neon.apk build start flawlessy on it.

The problem is that no button work on the interface.

The interface move smootly and fast (side scrolling), the buttons highlight, but no actions or submenu opens.

I tryed long pressing on those, but no action again.

I can exit from XBMC pressing the HW home button.

Seems that the default RSS feed is working, so I assume xbmc can connect to the net by the wifi connection of the tablet.

Any idea or suggestion?

I believe on the XBMC forums there are some low res skins that have been discussed at length. The android build should run any skin you need / want. If you head over to the XBMC wiki and forums there is a lot more information on this topic.

Stream rar files

I installed the non neon version and use the xbmc app to stream video files from my linux server via WiFi to the Acer Tablet. These are typically SD avi, mp4, x264, h264 and are usually in rar (zip) format up to 480p. Hence the need to unrar on the fly and then play.

All our TVs in my house have the old xbox with remote mod and with xbmc. But they are now very dated and won't play 720p or 1080p therefore I am keen to upgrade the media players to an andriod device and then repalce all the xboxs.
[Android Apps and Games] shpitz461:
I don't think you do so give it a shot. Unlocking and rooting should be the 1st thing you do when getting a new device :)
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
You should not need root to pull a log cat. You should only need to turn on USB debugging in the main android settings.
[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:
Ok, looks like lowres skins are rare, so i got to look a little more, besides that it seems to work well on my sgs1 with hellybean cm10 controlled from my sgs3 using official xbmc remote.

Hey, have you looked into using a Raspberry Pi, or several, to replace your xbox setups? I've been looking at parts for it (a few cables, a SD with linux preloaded or you can partition and make one yourself, microUSB power source) and it seems like one could have a *****in' set up for less than $80 (or less if you already own LAN and HDMI cables).

I used the NEON version. Installed and interface was working perfectly. Can't seem to be able to stream MLB games. I have a valid account. It loads but stops immediately after streaming begins.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Is there a specific add-on for the MLB streaming? If you can post back with the specific add-on that is not working for you, I will update the OP with the broken add-ons as the community finds them.
[Android Apps and Games] kboeckx:
Thanks, I found the log. But I'm not getting any further with the log because the XBMC closing / crashing is not logged ... There is nothing that indicates the crash.

I will wait for further builds and test again.

Anyway, keep up the good work:good:. It will be awesome to have XMBC running on our android devices. :o
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Can you use logcat to pull the crash? I was seeing some of the crashes in the logcat output instead of the XBMC generated log. If you can get me a logcat of the crash, I can take a closer look.
[Android Apps and Games] augie7107:
It's called MLBMC, short for Major League Baseball Media Center.

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Thank you for the information, I will be updating the OP with this add-on as broken.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Looks like it died shortly after playback from what I can tell. Can you clear the XBMC app cache and re-try? Also, if it is still broken can you try the non-NEON build.

- Anarcintosh's Icefilms plugin works.

- TED Talks plugin works great.

- The Trailers plugin works great.

Didn't Work:

- Bluecop's Hulu plugin lists everything, but only plays the network pre-roll and commercials..

- Bluecop's Amazon plugin lists everything, but won't play anything.

- (Shared library_ MySQL portion of advanced settings was completely ignored. I did verify I could ping the server.

- Clock is wrong because I can't set my time zone. The options are ?0? and ?-1?, neither do anything.

- Added FTP source. Crashed each time it tried to scrape info.

MySQL / central library works fine for me. Both Video and Music libraries.

Full path to advancedsettings.xml:

/sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

I had to do some path substitution since my regular XBMC installations use nfs, and my Transformer uses SMB:

<advancedsettings>

<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>my.mysql.server.ip</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>my.username</user>
<pass>my.password</pass>
<name>xbmc_video_dev</name>
</videodatabase>

<musicdatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>my.mysql.server.ip</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>my.username</user>
<pass>my.password</pass>
<name>xbmc_music_dev</name>
</musicdatabase>

<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>/media/nas/</from>
<to>SMB://my.nas.ip.addr/Multimedia/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>

</advancedsettings>

The path substitution part basically translates the nfs mount point "media/nas" to the virtual SMB mount point "SMB://my.nas.ip.addr/Multimedia/"
