But there is no place to get to the settings menu. I'm letterally stuck in XBMC. It boots directly to it, when I push home it goes to it, when I exit XBMC is reboots to it. The only thing I can get to is the internet browser and voice commands via the search hard button, and I can also access the indicator drawer once I'm there, but I can't get to settings or apps from that pull down. And if I hit home or back at any point it just takes me back to XBMC again! I can't even get to the phone dialer.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I understand that, under the android applications area of xbmc the android settings application (the main android settings, why I said to look under android apps) will appear. The "settings" from my previous post is the Android Settings app that is show in the main list of Android Apps from within XBMC.

XBMC will let you launch any native android app from the programs area. You need to launch the android settings in order to fix the problem you are having.
[Android Apps and Games] redbouche:
Ah ha. I follow you now. I'll try this out when I get home. Thanks so much for the helping out a noob.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Another thing to watch out for, the clear defaults button is buried in the XBMC app settings towards the bottom. The first time I needed to re-set the home launcher part it took me awhile to find the button. It should be there, just further down than you might expect in the panel.

Any news about HW acceleration on playing samba share videos?

I am using smbwrapper and it works very good, I can watch HD content with MX Player. The problem is that I use XBMC Remote on my phone to control XBMC on MK809II with XBMC Remote and when mxplayer starts I lost the control of the device and I cannot start/stop/exit. Any solution for this?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nikagl:
+1 for hardware acceleration, so we can work without the need of smbwrapper.

Solution for you is not to use XBMC Remote but the Rockchip Remote control:

[Android Apps and Games] nikagl:
No, no, +1 means there's one more person that would appreciate hardware acceleration, not that it's available

The one you can download from xbmc downloads? Just pick any you can find :)

Mouse Scroll Wheel

Hi and thanks to everyone here for the good info.

I know this is probably not the right thread for it and this may have even been solved already (but I couldn't find an answer). I was just wondering if anyone has figured out how to get the middle mouse scroll wheel to work on any of the XBMC builds for Android that are out. I am using a Rom, that is using the libstagefright HW decode and everything, it is all working great including the mouse -except I can not get the middle scroll wheel to scroll through menus - I did try this:-

<keymap>

<global>

<mouse>

<leftclick>leftclick</leftclick>

<middleclick>middleclick</middleclick>

<rightclick>rightclick</rightclick>

<doubleclick>doubleclick</doubleclick>

<wheeldown>Down</wheeldown> ****THIS BEING WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD WORK===

<wheelup>Up</wheelup> ****THIS BEING WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD WORK===

<mousedrag>mousedrag</mousedrag>

<mousemove>mousemove</mousemove>

</mouse>

</global>

<SlideShow>

<mouse>

<leftclick>Pause</leftclick>

<rightclick>PreviousMenu</rightclick>

<wheelup>PreviousPicture</wheelup>

<wheeldown>NextPicture</wheeldown>

</mouse>

</SlideShow>

</keymap>

and saved it as - mouse.xml - into the userdata/keymaps folder of XBMC but it does nothing. If anyone knows how to get the scroll wheel working in this fashion then I can die happy - also if anyone knows how to get the middle mouse wheel button to pull up the context menu then that would be amazing. I have read lot's of threads about this and no one seem's to have an answer, but it does seem to be a common complaint. I am using an MK809ii Android mini PC and my best guess is that there is some mouse mapping translation error between Android and XBMC.

Thanks to any genius who can solve this.

Can you try the frodo 12.1 no neon release? The nightly builds are very iffy on non neon hardware.
[Android Apps and Games] saigon66:
I don't have a Tab2 just Tab1 GT-P7500 3G . I installed this (xbmc-12.2-Frodo-armeabi-v7a.apk) and when i started it, it just said don't support my tab and close. I like so much to get it work on My TAB so need help here. Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] josera06:
I tried with build: xbmc-frodo-12.1-xaf-teg2-touch-20130503-8d75a5c004.apk, but it crash when i lauchend.

When I tried xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-2013-05-14-no-neon-378f4cde88cfd777b7eeaba8846ebd5a15c79ef4.apk, it can start but crashes after a while (normally a small time).

Is there any nightly more to test?

Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The 12.1 build is the most recent build right now for the non-neon devices.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Try the Frodo-12.1-no-neon build that is on the mirrors in the OP. If you are receiving "Your device is unsupported" from the official builds you are using a tablet that doesn't have neon extensions. From the spec's I was able to find on GSMArena it looks like it has a Tegra2 which means the official builds will not work, you need my no-neon releases.
[Android Apps and Games] saigon66:

Why does 'install add-on from. Zip' not recognize repository zip files on the SD card? Thanks ...

Edit: it can read a repo downloaded directly on the device but not one which was already on the SD card prior to installing Nottach 2.3 w/ext3.
[Android Apps and Games] fackamato:
Trying to get this run on the HTC One. App versions give the same issue: first loading screen (First time setup), then black screen and a super laggy phone.

Tried these:

xbmc-12.2-Frodo-armeabi-v7a

xbmc-13.0-Gotham_alpha3-armeabi-v7a

xbmc-20130219-32e99c7-android-hwaccel-fulldebug-armeabi-v7a

xbmc-20130531-0ccc594-master-armeabi-v7a

Any tips? AFAIK the Krait 300 has Neon capabilities.

edit: Looks like the fulldebug version is working (give it a minute to start up).

edit2: IT's super slow, minutes to navigate menus.

edit3: Give it a minute, then it's fast in the menus. Playback buffers (my wifi ap is crap), but smooth when it has a buffer.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Are you seeing any CPU spikes? I've not had an issue with "warm up" on any of the devices I've run XBMC on. I normally only run into problems on single-core devices in terms of lag or cpu spikes.

Great, means that someone can start playing with kernels and we should be able to over clock these a tad to get just that better performance out of them. As the Pivos guys have done a great job so far in getting a stable ROM release going.

Hello Team,

Appreciate your efforts to port this to our devices. I have one of the android set up box used to watch Indian TV channels (dont know the specs)

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:

[Android Apps and Games] dardack:
OK Cool. Waiting for my Allwinne a20 little settop box to arrive. I can return it if it doesn't work. So I'm not too concerned. So just had some questions before it arrives.

OK So I'm assuming I'm going to have to compile CIFS for this myself so MX Player can play from Shares? I also see on XDA a forum for DTS for MX Player. So I think I'm good there.

My 1 main question is, is there a way to make XBMC close/restart like it does with playing movie files do same with NETFLIX. LIke launch the netflix app, close XBMC and when Netflix closes restart xbmc?
[Android Apps and Games] ylexot:
Tasker can do that pretty easily.
[Android Apps and Games] dardack:
Is this a plugin for xbmc or something in play store for android?

Also side note, i'll ahve to get source code from manufacturer to compile cifs won't I? Sigh.
[Android Apps and Games] ylexot:
It's an app from the store that can automate pretty much anything.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
There is a samba wrapper app over on xbmcandroid.com/forums I think it is called CIFSWrapper or similar that should help you out. There is also some pretty good info over there on using a variety of external players to make sure your content needs are covered. Just be mindful of things like 1chan / ice as they stream online sources which don't always work reliably.

I agree with the tasker recommendation and there are ways to pin android apps to your programs menu that should help out some. Take a look at the included repos in the XAF build for more ideas / options.
[Android Apps and Games] dardack:
OK well the box shipped today. TY i'll check out the wrapper. I don't care about 1chan/ice. All my stuff is on a network share so need for MXPlayer the mounts to look local for it to work is my understanding of the situation.

OK i'll check that out.

I've heard rumors on justop.com forums that 13 will have some hardware acceleration for a20, at least they posted in their forums working with vidon.me but not sure if I can just get the XBMC apk, cause I know vidon me does a modified xbmc that I'm not a fan of and justop includes it prebuilt into their images.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
No idea on HW accel. From what I've gathered they have made decent progress with stagefright but android + hw accel is fraught with non-oss stuff. I've also not kept up too closely on the android + xbmc side lately. The current round of android devices is underpowered for what I need in an android set top box and I've been focused on trying to find hardware that I know will last a little while and has good support for getting things like cyanogenmod running.

The problem is android is a very young ecosystem in the set top box world currently. Hopefully over time this will improve further but for my needs... I get to wait it out for awhile longer.
[Android Apps and Games] dardack:
Yeah I'm just trying to combine my current XBMC ION 1 with Roku into 1 box. Must have netflix app with subtitles, netflix through playon or other linux ways aren't good enough. Then must be able to play MKV 720p over network.

We'll see. I'll get with it and mess with it. $60 is like half what i paid for the current xbmc box I have and have had for like 4 years. So meh if it doesn't work I'll send back or something.

I just want to say thanks for the XBMC android builds.

I purchased:

X-A10D

http://xinyutech.en.alibaba.com/pro...gle_android_4_2_smart_tv_box_X_A10D_XBMC.html

From ebay for $60 with free ship from NJ. It came with TvdVideo player (com.softwinner.tvdvideo) which says to me built for the allwinner chipsets.

Made that my default player (MXPlayer with DTS codec couldn't play my files, it would play in HW for like 10-50 seconds then the codec would fail and it would drop to SW and it was mad choppy, even selecting Audio in SW didn't fix the choppyness, also some Codec's it wouldn't play in HW mode. BSPlayer same thing, most would play in HW fine, but some SW so choppy) and it has played all my containers (mp4/avi/mov/ts/mkv) with all my codecs (xvid/divx/mp4/h264) with all audio combo's (dts/ac/mp3) without problem all from my network share.

It comes rooted, so installed superSU which installed the binary (before installing superSU some programs wouldn't do root stuff even tho they could, it's almost like they needed the binary or SuperSU to elevate where some would just work). CIFS modules work, so I use SManager to create /tvshows /movies folders then mount my shares (use mysql XBMC database so all sources for library need to match my other clients).

Netflix works great. Sure first 10 seconds are artifacty, but once it buffers up, it's crystal clear. No clue how to tell HD or not.

BTW all this is based on 720p, all my files and my TV's are 720p.

Wish the netflix would create an android app that was remote friendly. That's my only complaint so far.

The only thing that doesn't work is Miracast. It has a receiver program but gives me error.

I found another group that has a diff allwinner a20 android box that's rebranded and they create firmware, but can't figure out how to open the firmware to get the miracast files inside to try theirs. If anyone knows how to open these IMG files, please let me know. Cause they are working with vidon.me to create a a20 HW accell XBMC 13 code. I'm sure it will be merged into main tree at some point (vidon.me is a xbmc partner or w/e) but would like to extract that apk when they first release it.

xbmc on freescale i.mx 6 with vivante gpu

Hi,

I'm trying the latest nightly build with a gk802 mini pc (freescale i.mx 6 with vivante gpu) on android ics and have some major graphic issues (random/messy colored flickering pixels) with mkv playing. No errors in the logfile, audio is working. I tried to clear the cache/reboot the device again and again with no luck.

I can see a question mark besides freescale in the android compatibility list, so I'm just asking if anyone got some luck and how could I help to investigate further. (BTW hw acceleration is working like a charm with external players like MX, VLC or BS)

[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Are the releases still being worked on? Last one I have is from 5/3 for my Nexus 7 2013 edition. It crashes every now and then. Didn't know if these were still being worked on as far as the releases go.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
There are official releases for neon and ICS+ devices over on xbmc.org. For Tegra2 / GB devices I'm likely not going to be working on them much, if at all going forward. I no longer have a Tegra2 or GB device and version 13 of the upstream code base has some changes that will make it very difficult to support the Tegra2 going forward.

On the plus side... The official gotham (v13) nightlies now include libstagefright support so hardware decoding should generally work for most.
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Newest edition is Tegra 3 though. I'm assuming it will still be difficult to support that one as well?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The Tegra3 is a NEON device and falls under their officially supported platforms.

[Android Apps and Games] tselling:
*** Copy from post on the Stable version thread --- hoping a dev can shed some light why the asserts in GraphicContext.h crash the Xoom ***

I have isolated the cause of the constant Xoom crashing. There are three asserts in xbmc/guilib/GraphicContext.h. If they are commented out , it fixes the constant crashing. The asserts are ensuring that m_groupTransform is not empty. I am not sure why they are there since code should work without them. The remove method does a code check first...and others not sure why would care. Also I have no idea why crashes the Xoom but not other tegra 2 tablets. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

*** I built a working test version based on XAF tegra Frodo 2.2 with the change to GraphicContext.h. I built it using android-ndk-r7-crystax-5.beta3 so it works on Android 4.2 instead of crashing on startup like beta2 does. I also updated librtmp to 2.4 to get handshake 9 for the bluecop Hulu plugin. It is setup to use MX Video Player Free for most everything, except Archos Video player Free for Windows samba shares, and internal DVDPlayer for rtmpe (hulu) streams. My Xoom (tegra2) test version be found here: ....
