Hey. Last 2 updated apks do not work on GNEX on 4.1.1. Crashes as soon as you select an option (ex: video) once xbmc is loaded. Anyone else seeing this? Tested old pivos build which works fine and most builds here before the 22nd of august. Thanks.

Not sure why - but it no longer works on the latest SynergyROM nightly for the GSIII

when I click on the XBMC icon the screen flashes black and then back to the app drawer
[Android Apps and Games] stevotdo:
+1 on that. I'm finally going to order a couple. They now give you an option to purchase the mpeg2 decoder license. So if you record Atsc here in the us, you now have full hardware acceleration for it in xbmc

install diceplayer ( from INISOFT_DEV ) and use external player patched XBMC.
[Android Apps and Games] shpitz461:
All you need is Windows commandline screen with adb.exe in the search path. Then you just type what I said in the previous response.

There is no emulation/ssh/terminal/telnet needed. Windows communicates with the Xoom via USB using adb.exe (which is part of the google SDK).

new librtmp

Many thanks for the nightly builds. I am using it on my touchpad.

Would it be possible to use a newer rtmpdump/librtmp in your builds?

Using the git version of rtmpdump from rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu would allow hulu, amazon and more stations in free cable to function.

If you don't want to include it could you perhaps compile the updated library to replace the old one? I could do it but didn't want to install the sdk and dependencies just to compile the library. Thanks again.

Thank You.

I'm trying newer and older builds for NEON but since now no luck.

Nobody has some idea or suggestion?

Maybe some parameters to set at OS level before launch the xbmc apk?

Or maybe a bug someone has already found and is just to wait future builds?

Can I help in some way to debug it?

Thank you all in advance.

I am having problems with UPnP also, similiar service as airplay. I see XBMC (local) as a choice on my UPnP client on Windows 7 but nothing appears when I click videos even though I updated library.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
This has been discussed on the XBMC forums / irc channel / elsewhere at length. The XBMC dev's have stated that they will not bump a library version to a git/svn upstream version. They only track versions marked stable. If there is a new tag / release the answer changes to "when the XBMC dev's incorporate the updated version".

I don't plan on deviating from what the XBMC dev's have stated in regards to librtmp. I am trying to keep my builds as close to vanilla XBMC as possible. The only notable difference is that I changed the NDK compiler options to improve performance on NEON devices and to enable non-NEON support.

I have it installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7", and it's working pretty well. SD content plays flawlessly. 720p h264 content's pretty good, and 1080p h264 is still very stuttery. The main problem is still the sensitivity of the UI. Most of the time I have to double-tap selections to get them to work, but sometimes a single tap will work, other times I sit there tapping like a wildman until something happens. This is both with Confluence and JezzX's skin specifically for touch interfaces. Has anyone else found this to be the case, and, if so, are there any ways to mitigate the effects?

When i click a video, it shows working and if it start taking little longer, then it keeps going on. If i press stop button, then i stops the "working circle" and does not come back to previous screen. There is no option left , i have to restart xbmc. This is happening when either link is dead or it it waiting on something.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Is the screen always black when you launch the app? Do you get any graphical feedback at all?

Is this on your S2? What plugin, what protocol if normal video player?
[Android Apps and Games] BlueCop:
Thanks for the reply. I understand. any chance you could compile an updated librtmp.so library for android? If not I can setup a VM or something to do it but it would save me time if you possibly could. thanks again for doing the builds.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Likely won't help. From what I understand the XBMC Android libs are all statically compiled into the APK. You'll need to update the librtmp sources in the XBMC tree and compile.

Are you on a NEON or non-NEON device?

Samba (SMB) Shares Not Showing

Anyone else having a problem with SMB shares not showing up? I can see them from both my Ubuntu XBMC, and 2 different Win 7 XBMC machines. All are running Eden. I've previously had no trouble with Samba shares on Android, but now they're completely gone. I just upgraded from the 8/26 to the 8/29 builds. I can still see the files via upnp, but SMB shows no computers at all on the network, let alone any shares. Any ideas?

XBMC is not working well on Asus Transformer Infinity. Newest Neon version is flickering the screen mostly all the time. Previous version had it also but less. Non Neon version doesnt have flickering but all version by now has the same - they crash many times during waching a movie. I get black screen so I need to turn the Transformer on again and to unlock the screen, then to start XBMC again - drives me crazy. I'm using stack ROM and latest firmware 4.0.3.

Does anybody have Infinity and some suggestion ?

with vdr support

1st. Is anyone work to implement the pvr feature?

So that I can connect to an vdr, mediaportal mythtv server.

2nd. I use a acer a500 pad. If I look 720p mkv movies it stuttering. Is this at this time of development normal?
[Android Apps and Games] staticaDK:
Yes it is normal that HD content in mkv dosent play fluently. No hardware decoding support in XBMC for Android yet and without that then 720p and 1080p will not play well especially if it is in mkv format.

You can connect to various sharing formats. My A510 has my Dreambox channels added and my NAS drives also. You add them in videos,addons where you can add new link and then decide between various types such as ftp, smb, tvheadend, tuxbox etc.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Mainline XBMC does not have a PVR feature. I believe there is a fork where that work is being done. These builds are tracking mainline XBMC and I've not looked into anything with the PVR feature. Likely won't until something shows up in mainline.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
To expand a little:

The Google TV devices do not have an official NDK and you have to do a bit of "hacking" type work in order to get an un-official NDK working and then more "hacking" type work to install a native app on the platform. Until Google releases an official NDK I won't be doing anything.

When Google does release an NDK, it will need to include unicode wide character support otherwise XBMC will not compile. This is presently an issue with the current Google NDK, however, CrystaX did some work at adding unicode wide character support to version 7b of the Android NDK. This is the NDK that is used to build XBMC currently. This same work will need to be ported to the Google TV NDK if it does not include unicode wide character support. I have no current plans on doing this work if it is necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
If you run into the flickering issue you may need to clear your app cache. This problem is more common on Tegra2 devices and most users end up fixing it by doing an dance of clearing the app cache, rebooting and potentially re-installing. Also a logcat may help track down the source of the problem for your particular case.
[Android Apps and Games] calavera2k:
I also have the problem that xbmc crashes on my wifi xoom after 10 seconds. the logs are enclosed. Maybe it will help in the development.
[Android Apps and Games] Tosko4:
I can confirm that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 works perfectly fine with the Neon version.

There are some little issue's though.

The buttons do not always work on first press. You sometimes have to click it a couple of times to make it work. The pause button for example.

When playing a video and you switch to a different app and then back, makes the screen go black.

I successfully added a remote resource. My NAS. I also got imdb addon to work on it. Haven't found any other issues.

Repositories working on Acer A510

I installed a repository which contains alot of extra addons which the normal XBMC addon repository dosent. If my mirror get going again then I will put the repository up so anyone with interest can try it for themselves. It was done on the latest NEON build and I now have 10-15 addons under that repository and each of them contains everything from skins, Video Addons, Music Addons and Program Addons.

I will test it a bit more while I wait for the harddrive tests to finish on my ftp so im sure that I do not have any damaged disks.

Just wanted to spread the info if anyone would be interested to know that other repositories other than the XBMC can be added :)
[Android Apps and Games] elmerohueso:
This is how XBMC works. If you only select one song, it will only play that song. To play continuous music, you will want to initiate play from one of the Album, Artist, Genre, etc. views or create a playlist or queue. Please refer to xbmc.org to learn about XBMC.

Edit: Depends on your music playback settings. Mine are set up to work this way.
[Android Apps and Games] st0nedpenguin:
PC XBMC has always continued playback from one song to another for as far back as I can remember.
[Android Apps and Games] elmerohueso:
It definitely can, but there are cases where it won't. In the Music Playback Settings, you can set whether or not to automatically play the next song or whether or not to Queue items upon selection. I've run several builds that didn't have this set as default. Also, this feature is based on the view you're in when choosing the song, so if the view you're in doesn't list multiple songs, XBMC can't automatically build a list for this feature to go off of.
[Android Apps and Games] SlegiarDryke:
so, I've got a Toshiba thrive 10' running a rooted ICS rom. the problem i keep running into is the touch sensitivity being INCREDIBLY underwhelming for actually selecting anything. i can scroll the home screen fine, but getting into settings, appearance, etc, to change it all up to the touched skin? next to impossible. and if i manage to get to the skin selection, it crashes. any idea whats wrong there? hadn't seen anything about this sort of error in skimming, so wanted to bring it up just in case. still awesome what you've got so far =3
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I received one message from another Thrive user about this. I was waiting for a 2nd report before posting it to the OP. I do not know what is causing the problem. It's been stated that touch is a little funky on other devices (the A series from ACER sometimes suffer) but I've not seen a discernible pattern yet.
[Android Apps and Games] xm41907:
I've got the Thrive problem too. I emailed you about it before with a logcat file. I've tried both neon and non-neon versions and I've yet to figure out any pattern either. it definintely doesn't work with a single touch, although touching the primary menu buttons once does bring down the submenus. Other than that, it is very iffy. If I use two fingers in a double tap motion, it sometimes will take, but usually only after repeated attempts. The same was true before the Thrive was upgraded to ICS. Unfortunately, since this appears to be unique to the Thrives, I wouldn't know how you could work through it without one. If you'd like me to do anything on the Thrive end to help out, let me know. I'm a dev for the Thrive, but have limited experience with kernel work. I'd really like to get this sorted out though.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The only thing I can think of trying is modifying the build.prop file and adjusting the touch screen sensitivity. Likely won't do much good outside of XBMC, but worth a shot.

I have created a thread over on XBMC Android for tracking the issue in more depth. If you are interested the URL is: http://www.xbmcandroid.com/forums/xbmc-android-compatibility/40.htm

on Mele a2000 works great

Hi, thanx you all guys for all the effort on this app.

On Mele a2000 THPC works great. Woul'd be cool if some buttons on remote controll, like ff/rew and "subt" worked, but I know that google tv aren't supported and mele is quite similar. I also know about hardware acceleration problems.

I have very important question for me about problem i can't solve: In which directory I should put external addon in android?

Anyway I bought mele for my tv and only with xbmc it could spread its wings so great thanx. If anyone would like to ask how different things work on Mele feel free to ask.

Sorry for bad English

Thanks for this great work, 2/9 version is much better (responsive, stable, smooth) than the one I had before (the first apk released).

One thing though, I don't see any non English letters ni my addons (in particular Hebrew), maybe need to install better universal fonts (arial?) or use the native device fonts ?

Another thing, it would be nice if I can access my home library through smb. Currently I get an error message when trying.

I tried Neon, although I haven't tested more then playing video and building library from my sata drive. I also have maximum sd format so I can't tell which would be better for 720 or above.

What I'm looking forward most is ability to use my favourite streaming addons and I hope devs won't forget about remote controls and switch totally to touch controll.

I'll download some 720 trailer to tell how It works.

No, I don't have a XOOM for testing and I've been tied up at work so I haven't dug into it further. You may want to try starting a thread on xbmcandroid.com 's forums, the site is setup for nothing but XBMC and Android.
[Android Apps and Games] irrs:
I heard it has something to do with hardware support. With mele there's bigger issue - devs say ith hw acceleration is too weirdo (short version :)).

As I expected from this thread j1nx.nl/allwinner-a10-xbmc-android-with-external-mxplayer

1080 video is unwatchable although mxplayer runs smoothly.

I also found addons locations in /mnt/sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/addons just to found out, that my favourite addon crashes all xbmc.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Specifically NEON is a CPU floating point improvement that greatly improves decoding on the general CPU. The NEON build uses the appropriate NEON compiler flags to ensure things run as good as possible while we wait for hardware decoding.

The non-NEON build is setup for vfpv3-16 compiler optimizations which means it only uses 16 floating point registers (compared to the 32 on a large number of devices, including NEON devices). The reason vfpv3-16 was chosen is because the Tegra2 only has 16 floating point registers :(.

This could be the reason why xbmc playing 1080 stutters less then vlc, when both don't suport hardware decoding.

Are you talking about waiting the same thing as in this forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=126995 to be done? This is about non android xbmc and if about Hardware decoding for android as far as I heard it's done not the way xbmc does and is closed sourse so needs to be reverse ingeenered first. Thats why this weird mixing with mxplayer takes place. Are there other possibilities for hw decoding?

As device I have is a little exotic some of you wouldn't know that when I mentioned remote controlls I ment old school irda remotes some Android TV boxes use. Like my mele a2000:

I think this Android Tv boxes, now specially with xbmc for android, have great future. I temporally forgot about remote controll app on android phone and as you falks report that it works then great. If standard remote won't be supported shoul be enough, but still one cellphone should be dedicated for this. (Now I imagined remote controll being charged every night :D)

Anyway for me the most important thing is to make my favourite addon work. Any suggestion where to start? The addon works perfectly to the moment external video stream should be played, then xbmc quits without warnings.

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Android has OpenMax in at least 4.0+ (note sure about 2.3.x / 3.x) which is the library used by MXPlayer and others for hardware acceleration. My earlier post was about the general purpose CPU and different low level features the different arm processors provide.

For 720p / 1080p and some 480p content the OpenMax library or similar will need to be used for video playback. Work has been done on the rPi to use OpenMax but I've not seen anything in the mainline XBMC changelog to indicate support. When there is support, I'll definitely be calling it out in the OP and elsewhere.
