MK802+

My new MK802+ bought from Ibood is working with xbmc latest version and fast but cannot find my synology NAS to stream media does anyone have an idea what could be the problem? NFS and SMB sharing is on. Can acces the shares from my windows 7 laptop and from my popcorn hour C-200.

thanx in advance

Okay, what did you do that made this work on Gingerbread? The only time I've had success was while running one of the CM9 builds and that was before the latest improvement in hardware acceleration. I've never been able to get it to run in Gingerbread.

Thanks for your reply. I agree with yuo I should use neon buid, but I prefer to watch DVB tv via tvheadend htsp stream rather than HD movies. So I leave non-neon build installed.

Talking about logs, I really can"t find even the xbmc binaries in android filesystem :( ... Anyone can help me so I can contribute in resolving the bug of crash for neon build when playing the htsp stream?
[Android Apps and Games] mash2k3:
at the beginning it would not detect my NAS too but i got it to by clicking add source and i typed "smb://Movies" where it says enter path clicked ok and all the movies from my NAS showed up. the name of my NAS is Movies so you would need to replace it with the name of your NAS or ip address and it should work.

You can use DDMS / adb to pull the logcat data and go from there. The XBMC wiki also has the location of the XBMC log. I've noticed the adb logs tend to be best if tracking down a "Force Close" of XBMC.
[Android Apps and Games] bornagainpenguin:
I was only ever successful getting SMB to work by installing an app: Samba Filesharing (on my HTC One V) otherwise xbmc never wanted to see my NAS...

Bubbleupnp app to see nas /networks

I use BubbleUpnp to see my PC network. Might work for you. It is run via XBMC so have to select under your XBMC A doid Programs. Run the trial program. I have continued to use it witout paying this way.

Hello,

This is my first post for XBMC Android. First of all I love it! It is wonderful. I use it to play my kids movies over the network via Readyshare. I have the latest build and noticed that I can no longer download different skins, not that is a big deal. Other than that it is working great!

Hey - can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Installed 2012-09-04 on both my Acer A700 and Samsung S3, both Neon versions.

Downloaded BBC Iplayer v2 and installed with 'install from zip' in addons section. BBC Iplayer appears, I can select a program, it gets to 80%, then the app crashes. Exactly the same on both devices.

Am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Probably not, Android is pre-alpha / developer preview right now and odd problems are expected. Can you post a logcat as well as your xbmc log? The XBMC wiki has the location of the xbmc log and if you search google you'll find how to pull a logcat.

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
It has not stopped, upstream just broke badly. The enterprising have discovered my Jenkins instance publishes every night there is a successful build. As of 2012/09/17 builds were completing but not running on-device. I will be looking at the latest round of builds to see if they work or just crash. As soon as a workable build is completed by Jenkins I plan on adding an updated download link to the thread. Until I know there are good builds, I'm not going to link to anything from Jenkins.

Fullscreen/no virtual buttons on MK802?

Hi,

I installed XMBC on my MK802 android device which is plugged in my TV. Works as expected, except for one thing: I have the bar with the virtual buttons, time and notifications on screen all the time, even when I'm playing movies.

Is there a way to get rid of this?

Thanks,

Anton

Currently the only way to remove this is to run one of the various status bar hiding applications. It is an often requested feature and hopefully one of us will be able to get it implemented "soon".

The difference between NEON and non-NEON is a difference in the number of floating point registers enabled as well as an extra instruction set. The NEON version is much faster than the non-NEON version. If your device supports NEON you really want the NEON build even if the non-NEON builds run.

I've posted an explanation many times in this thread. XDA's search should turn up the relevant posts.

[Android Apps and Games] chrisgeller:
I did a google search and in thread at http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=76105303 - it's not jumping out.

It's not a well known bit of terminology and it's not explained in either the first or second post.

If you're having to answer the question "many times" why not set out the answer where people will see it?

Same with the link to the google nightly website? Instead of burying it in brown ink on the second post following the words "If you are looking for a build that is no longer linked, they can be obtained at", why not stick it where people will see it?

what xbmc version works on a motorola xoom 3g

Hello

I tried the latest version of non neon 22-09-2012 on my Motorola Xoom 3G , but still crashes.:(

What version is working for the xoom 3g version ?

Where can i get this version ?

Best regards , Corné
[Android Apps and Games] shpitz461:
Same on XOOM 4G, we'll have to wait for it to be fixed, it's something specific to the XOOM.

We have a thread HERE that stalled, hopefully Kemonine will have sometime to look at it closer.

Maybe you can post your logcat in that forum...
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I am getting there. Most everything in my life has stalled thanks to work... I have a nasty deadline of 10/1 for pretty much every outstanding project I was assigned in the last 6 months (they moved a few up to 10/1). I will hopefully have a chance to finish up the black screen fix in the next week or two and then loop over to the XOOM crash.

There are some updated nightlies on the mirror sites I have not linked to yet (new builds are running now actually). I have been unable to test the daily builds, but they may be worth a shot on the XOOM. I know there have been a number of upstream fixes across the board lately.
[Android Apps and Games] shpitz461:
Ouch, I can feel your pain. There's really no rush with anything, this is really not important! it never worked on the XOOM so what's another few weeks/months...

We appreciate your work regardless!
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The trick is the logcats that were initially posted don't indicate why it wouldn't work on so many different ROMs. It's been bugging me since I initially looked at it. Unfortunately I don't own a XOOM so any ideas would be a shot in the dark.

Definitely keep an eye on the mirror sites, my jenkins instance is setup to auto-build and upload to the mirrors every night. If you find a version that works, let me know and hopefully we can find what the fix was.
[Android Apps and Games] shpitz461:
I can install and create a logcat for several versions. We can also hook up on IM to speed up the testing if that will work for you.

Right now I have one XOOM running CM10 nightly, the other XOOM runs EOS nightly, both JB. Both are 4G (only one activated, both have SIM cards).

But regardless, we can wait until your workload eases up a little.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:

So can you change the default player within XBMC to one of your choice? If so do any Android apps support HD and MKV files and if so which player can play them without issues?

Bsplayer works excellent for me. Mxplayer works ok, kinda flaky with audio tho

Likely will work but will not have hardware decoding support. This means that any HD content will likely not play back.

[Android Apps and Games] spamtomas:
Thanks for the quick reply. What would be required for hardware decoding is it just a driver or something from the company? Sorry for the stupid question
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Hardware decoding requires a lot more under the hood effort and likely the creation of a new player in XBMC. The dev's are working on it but you want to wait if you haven't purchased something already. After hardware decoding goes it you'll probably want to wait for the dust to settle and make a decision based on what others find.
[Android Apps and Games] bornagainpenguin:
Try installing the Samba Filesharing app and enabling the implementation of Samba it manages then try adding your shares again.
[Android Apps and Games] spamtomas:
ahh ok, so just to clarify is hardware decoding dependant on the GPU or something else, for example i know the pivos hardware that xbmc are using as an android reference contains the mali 400 gpu, so if hardware decoding was built for that, would it most likely work on another device with that gpu?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
When I talked to the dev's last the plan was to use the OpenMax libraries for getting broader hardware decode support. Otherwise a customized player has to be built for each of the different GPUs. Others have tried to use the Pivos hardware accelerated playback on devices with the same GPU and met with some amount of success that is below 100%. It seems that matching the GPU may not be enough from what I've read and seen.

In terms of the Pivos stuff working with another device, same GPU I would say "probably not". I would not recommend a purchase until things are further along.
[Android Apps and Games] spamtomas:
Fair enough, just trying to get an understanding of how it works. Think I will wait as you advise. Thanks :)

mp4 performance

Hi, new to this forum, I have just installed the neon 2012-09-26 build on a Cortex A8 SoC based Android 4.0 box. Looks great and playback of videos works well except for mp4 files these are slow, freeze and then stop. The files are accessed from smb shares and play fine on xbmc(different version) on an Apple TV box. Had a quick look back through the last few pages of the forum and can't see anything on this issue. Am I the only one having trouble with mp4 files.

mkv performance

mkv files seem to have the same problem ie in slow motion and freezing. avi files regardless of size work fine. Could be a codec issue, these files play fine with mxplayer. Seem to remember a similar issue with the older XBMC builds on the Apple TV box, more recent version on the Apple TV box didn't have this problem, but can't remember the solution.

No hardware decoding yet causes stuttering hd video.
[Android Apps and Games] piko72:
With the last one, not working anymore on stock rooted rogers ics..:thumbdown:
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
This could also be due to the container format. The mp4 and mkv containers are "heavier" on the cpu than avi. Most of my content is mp4 or mkv and I've had stuttering issues since I first built XBMC. However, the stuttering has improved slowly over time as they optimize the code.

On thing that should help out greatly is hardware decoding. If the video decode and audio decode is shifted off the CPU onto the GPU via hardware decoding there should be enough headroom on the CPU for the heavier containers.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Not sure, the Nexus S should run. Can you try the 2012-09-25 / 26 / 27 builds? Things should be back to mostly table right now. Also can you post a logcat? This sounds like a library issue or a build issue given it is force closing.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Can you post a logcat? The latest build is the first generally workable build since the beginning of September so there may still be some issues related to the various merges that broke XBMC for Android earlier in the month.

hey guys

So I have posted this question in the XBMC forums, the XBMC android forum, and now here. I hope you guys can help me. My I'm using a Asus infinity without root and unlock so completely stock.

I can not for the life of me to get the DIY or HGTV plugins to work. There is no error or failed message when I tap an episode it just does not play and will sometime just kill the program.

Now I know this all means nothing without a log but I can't seem to figure out how to get it. I have had multiple people try to walk me through it, but the folders they send me to, to find the log are not there. I've done searches on my tablet and all but can't find them.

Please help me these are my favorite networks and would make this program perfect. I can watch everything else but those two addons. I know the addons work because they work on my laptop running Eden just not my tablet. I have tested every new nightly but they don't work so I usually go back to 9-4-2012.

Thank you in advance for any help.

At moment as none of the pvr clients have been included in the build only one I have been able to get working is dvblink.

You need a back end tv server dvblink/mediaportal/myth tv or a few others, set that up then xbmc will connect to the server. Until the pvr clients are compiled for android, unless you have dvblink connect server, live tv will not work cheers.
