[Android Apps and Games] The_Monkey_King:
Installed xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-xxx-no-neon.apk (22 Aug)

- Initial boot to logo: 25 seconds, 10 seconds to main screen

- first boot not a success; same screen flicker as before. Exited program.

- restart from menu icon is a success; however navigation to weather causes abrupt application exit.

- next restart brings back the flickering screen. exited out of application and then forced stopped the application in the settings->apps menu

Uninstalling 22 Aug and going back to 20 Aug version. Are there any other files I need to delete?

Rebooting this A500 now...
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
You also need to clear the app cache. On the Tegra2's sometimes the dance takes a little while to get it working. Not sure what is causing the problem yet.
[Android Apps and Games] elmerohueso:
kemonine - You may want to put something in the OP directing people with the Pivos XIOS DS to the Pivos forums. The already have their own builds going, including those using amlplayer for HW acceleration.
[Android Apps and Games] The_Monkey_King:
It looks like 20 Aug build is working with Navi-X add-on.

Also, if I have any issues, I'll remember to post the logs. For those who don't know about the XBMC log files, I pulled this from the wiki:

xbmc.log and xbmc.old.log are located here, depending on your platform:

Android --	external storage/sdcard at: Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/temp/

(okay, I just used ES File Explorer to look for the files and I have the path up to Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/ but there are no other directories or files after that.)
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Also, logcat output is helpful too. Some of the crashes only show useful bits in the device's logcat. Especially for force close or "just dies" issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Boss996:

[Android Apps and Games] DivinityCycle:
My apartment is full of nerds, so last night saw much more testing.

All three tablets we tested on are running CM10 nightly.

My roommate's venerable HP Touchpad actually did a pretty amazing job, it could playback most of the HD content tested with minimal stuttering / frame loss. My own Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 didn't do so well, it looks like no HW acceleration is working on that config. Its a Tegra 2 device, and I'm not certain that the kernel I am using has proper HD video acceleration. I need to test it out in some other apps, but was too busy scanning in my Libraries :P I was able to get the Neon skin I use on my TV up and running on both of my tablets without too much trouble. Some of the views are completely useless in Neon, and it took some trial and error to figure out where you actually need to tap to make the Home screen usable, but I got it.

At one point I was using my 10" tablet as a remote control for my 7" tablet. I felt pretty silly.

Now that I have used XBMC on a couple devices, I know there's something seriously wrong with the touch input on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I basically couldn't do the password entry to set up my SMB share access using my touch screen, I had to use remote control to do it.

Since I am running CM10 nightlies, I will keep testing on a few more builds, but so far its been pretty terrible. I'll have to double or triple tap things to get them to "click", and its pretty inconsistent altogether.

I also noticed that on all devices tested, the "menu" button in the navigation bar does actually bring up the XBMC context menu, but you gotta hold the button down to make it appear. Just tapping it doesn't appear to work. I'm not sure if that's a JellyBean thing, a CM10 thing, or what. Can anyone else running ICS or JB confirm the menu button behavior you're seeing?

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

That is expected behavior with XBMC.

The U/I has been written to always refresh at a high framerate, to keep things fast & responsive.

Check CPU usage during media playback and you'll see a different story.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

XBMC's log file output for me is found @ /data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/temp/xbmc.log.
[Android Apps and Games] elmerohueso:
Correct. HW acceleration is not yet implemented. Please see OP:

The context menu is accessed via touch & hold on an item, so you may be referring to a different menu. Perhaps the expandable Views & Sorting menu of the left side of the screen (when using the default skin)? The default skin is not optimized for touch screens (as noted in the OP).

I use the Re-Touched skin (from the second post)..
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
There is no hardware decode in XBMC outside of amlplayer builds for the Pivos XIOS box. The device you were testing with has a pretty good CPU on it and for some HD content should work for playback. The reason your (and my) Tegra2 stink for HD playback right now is due to the lack of NEON and half the floating point registers found on almost every other device. The only hope for the Tegra2 is the generic hardware decode support which the XBMC dev's have said they are working on.

If you test other software you'll find that there are Tegra2 specific versions that are setup to address its CPU architecture shortcoming as well as use the hardware decoder. If you turn off the hardware decoder support on the Tegra2 in other apps, you will be unable to play back HD content as well. Another thing to note is the hardware decoder included on the Tegra2 is a bit lack-luster. You will only get up to low profile 1080p support at a somewhat low bitrate even if the hardware decode support is used.

Give the 2012/08/22 build a shot. There were some commits intended to address touch screen issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Boss996:
I have tested, it is worse.

Battery reduces quickly.

I think, I would not watch till the end.

this is pictures

Archos (Play .mkv file it's not smooth)

Note (Play .mkv it's not smooth)

Rockchip (Play .avi file it's smooth) But No Sound.
[Android Apps and Games] elmerohueso:
Please re-read the OP. XBMC has not yet implemented HW acceleration in Android. *Everything* is handled by the CPU. This will cause your battery to drain quickly. This will also result in poor playback of HD and h.264 video (which is probably what your MKV files are using).

xbmc and french tv addons

Hello,

Has anybody tried to make french tv addons canal+ ,and M6 replay work with xbmc?

Here is the site where I downloaded them

http://passion-xbmc.org/addons/

I haven't managed to make them work in both my Galaxy tab 10.1 wifi, my Galaxy Note and my Nook Tablet.

Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] lurchie85:
I don´t know why but every apk you build is lagging on my Bluetimes Andoid 4.0 Box.

This Box got the exact same Specs as the Pivos Xios and there are many framedrops or out of sync times with all your apks!

Now i have Installed a leaked Version called xbmc-XIOS-073012.apk and with this version i can play 720p/1080p Videos without problems

on my box.

my 1080p Version of Avatar (around 20GB) works great without lags over WiFi from my NAS.And yes, the HDMI output is set to 1080p,

I don´t know what you do with xbmc and your own tweaked NDK but for me every apk you build get slower and slower and maybe you do something wrong...
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Do they work with non-android nightlies? If I remember correctly there are some plugin API changes that are in the master branch. I know the stable trakt.tv plugin won't work with the currently nightlies on any platform.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I am not compiling XBMC with amlplayer. The XIOS releases include amlplayer as the default player which is hardware accelerated on the Pivos XIOS. Apparently you have found an identical platform. You want to use the Pivos builds as they are building a version with hardware support only for the Pivos XIOS platform. As stated in the OP, my builds do not include hardware decode support and will not until the XBMC devs have included a general form of it in the master branch of XBMC.

I haven't done anything wrong. The only change I made to the NDK was changing the -mfpu flags to either neon (for the NEON builds) or vfp16p (for non-NEON). These fpu flag changes actually improve support on devices due to the heavy use of floating point through out the XBMC code base.

I started work on different version that had more invasive changes, but my work has stalled and the code is not used for my builds currently.

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Yes, but are you running the ipad / windows / osx nightlies or the stable version of XBMC. The nightlies are built off master which is different than the stable version.
[Android Apps and Games] lurchie85:
shame on me.I´m sry. I know that you don´t compiling with amlplayer but my fail was that i don´t know xbmc does this :(

But now i can say i´m a lucky little man with a identical platform like the xios and got hw acc :) maybe i come back later and check your work when HW acc is in the Master branch.

I am looking for it for my mk802. Hopefully I'll replace it with my PC, so far I can watch movies in 1080p smoothly with older version of mx player and it soft decodes dts without any lag. But for user interface is not compatible.and I don't understand how MC player can play it and xbmc cannot.

Another issue, what I cannot do is to audio passthrough via hdmi, I can only get stereo, do you think that we can find a solution for this?

[Android Apps and Games] bdefour:
never used xbmc, but just bought my self a MK802 as well. And was reading about XBMC vs MK802, and saw there is the option to use external players (e.g. MXPlayer). So maybe that's an option until the VPU goes opensource or get reverse engineered.

Can you try this and report? Also what version did you download for this ( can't test it myself, still waiting till it gets shipped )

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] albatros79:
Yes I am using MX player which is best fit among the players I tried,

Latest version cannot decode Dts sound so I am using 1.0d rev 1 I guess.

There is another option too, some developer publish another xbmc build which plays movies with dice player, you can try it.

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
This is likely why add-ons work for you under other OS's but not Android. The master branch of XBMC is the work that will ultimately become the next release. Given you are having troubles you will want to look for versions of your add-ons that have been updated to work with the development version of XBMC.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The lag in XBMC is due to lack of hardware decoding (noted in OP). MX Player and others have hardware decode support enabled. Once hardware decode support is available the lag should go away.

On the topic of HDMI audio passthrough, I'm not sure. Does audio pass through for 5.1 work with other players? Do you get stereo audio pass through from XBMC?

If someone gets an external player like MX working please post back. I am curious about this myself but have other items on my plate that prevent me from looking at this item more closely.

You want the NEON version for the MK802.

Can you PM me a link to the other developers work? I'm interested to see if the changes need to be built-in or if they are more independent of the XBMC sources.

Getting Watchseries.eu plugin to work

Hello,

thanks A LOT for your work, especially on the non-NEON devices. I have an Advent Vega and XBMC is working surprisingly very well (except for somewhat choppy playback of some video sources due to lack of HW playback.)

I have been trying to get the Watchseries.eu plugin to work with no luck.

I installed the mscreations repository from Fusion on xbmchub dot com and then try to install the plugin, but the "mscreations's XBMC addons" section (in System/Add-ons/Get Add-ons) is empty. (The repo works on my laptop so I know it is ok.)

Has anyone gotten this to work?

Many thanks for any hints you can think of!

Also,when watching locally stored videos via xbmc, the videos play but audio from them stutter all through.

I would be grateful if someone could suggest a workable solution. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
What kind of video and audio? Currently there is now hardware decode support so even 720p video can be problematic. SD content mostly works but I've had issues depending on the container format.

Also if your device runs the NEON version, you want to stick with it. The non-NEON version will be slower than the NEON version due to the way the builds are compiled.

Just normal video and audio streams from plugins such as SportsDevil and Navi-X. As for videos and audios stored locally, they are just normal SD files and MP3s and yet they all stutter and lag.
