[Ouya General] bluesy_92:
I use my Ouya as my media center. All of my movies (DVD rips, bluray rips, and some digital downloads I converted using AVC) are in .mp4 format, encoded with x264 video and 128kbps stereo aac audio, in 320p (with the horizontal resolution changed to matched the aspect ratio)

I don't have a surround sound system, and I aim for smaller file sizes, since I also use these videos on my phone and tablet, which is why I am using 320p x264 with stereo, rather than 5.1, audio. But I've heard it works fine with high-bitrate media, too. I just don't personally use, or need, it.

Although, the 8gb internal storage is abysmal. I recommend getting an external flash drive, or hard drive, and using that.

I no longer use optical media at all - I find my Ouya with XBMC does make for a good media center. The interface is smooth, I've experienced no choppiness, and with the promises of HDMI audio pass-through in future updates, running a 720p bluray rip with 5.1 audio shouldn't be a concern. Being that the Tegra 3 isn't the most powerful chipset, I'm not sure how it would fare with extremely high bitrates, such as high-bitrate 1080p or 3D movies, but even then...is that really necessary? A 4:3 dvd with a cinema-ratio movie encodes to 304x720...so even 304p is "DVD quality" and easily watchable, if encoded right.

I also understand that XBMC can read disc image (iso) files, although for space concerns - I just rip the DVD itself. I don't find the extra features and menus necessary, and I'm willing to toss them for the benefit of an entirely digital library, so I haven't tried this functionality. If someone else here has, they can probably chime in on how well it works - if at all - on the Ouya build.
[Ouya General] kabeza:
Hi people

I've not read the entire thread, but I'm wondering if anyone could stream 1080p movie through ethernet to OUYA using the Plex Media Server and the plex ouya app?

If so, can any share settings, or recommendations?

I'm getting lots of hiccups even with 720p or less, and I have an i5, 16gb ram, etc.

Thanks
[Ouya General] eldon.mcguinness:
I've chimed in before on this topic, but figure it is time for an update. I have a number of OUYA devices, about 20 to be exact, that I use in my home, church, and classes; all of which I use with XBMC—now named KODI—to play various videos. I could not be happier with the performance of these devices, well I could, but my improvements are slight so meh.

The device can do 720P brilliantly and 1080P as well, though I do see hiccups from time to time with 1080P. I, like bluesy, have most of my media on HDDs, but I also have a fair bit on DVD/Bluray. For those that use optical media to store files, consider sharing the disc on your network from a PC; this way you get the benefit of using optical media, without the need for a kernel module (of which I have never seen to date.) One thing to consider is the OUYA does NOT do hardware MPEG2 playback, this means that DVDs and the like are likely to not playback smoothly. One could use Handbrake or another app to make a backup of said media and stream that to your OUYA.

On the network side of things, I suggest using an Ethernet connection, this is not due to a limitation on the device, since WiFi often introduces a fair amount of lag and has horrible throughput compared to an Ethernet connection. Additionally, stay away from sharing files via SMB (Windows Shares) as the service has a huge amount of overhead that is simply not needed, instead, try out NFS. HanewinNFS is a FREE NFS server for windows that works remarkably well and I have included my config setup for those that are interested. Do note that it is optimized to run with my computer (Quad-core Atom), so you might benefit from further tweaking.

It's stuck at the LG boot screen forever, and I can't get to TWRP which I have installed. Any tips?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricko2169:
Try to get it into TWRP over and over and wipe data if you do and reboot.

If not, try this as a last resort
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whittikins:
What's the method for getting into TWRP at this point? I definitely have it, but what is the procedure to get to it? Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rangizingo:
You're not alone friend.

Just happened to me yesterday, press and the Power and Volume down until the phone resets, holding both until the LG logo pops up. When it pops up immediately release ONLY power then press and hold it again and you should receive a prompt for factory reset. Confirm it then if you had TWRP previously installed you should be able to back to it after resetting. From there you can just push a ROM and/or gapps via ADB like I did yesterday :D. Feel free to message me if you have any issues, I'm back working fulling functional and would be glad to help you if needed. You can also message me on Hangouts as well @ Blancorunning@gmail.com . Best of luck!

Hi!

There is no WM2005 available for the Alpine (XDA2i) at this point in time. Buzz is not able to work on it at the moment. as a result we are all stuck with 2003se for now. But keep chekin aroudn and perhaps u'll b lucky smday and find an upgrade:)

the upgrade is only available for the XDA2, not 2i, so its the Himalaya, not Alpine.

vdc cryptfs enablecrypto/changepw exists.

Where is vdc cryptfs mount?

I.e., how can I mount the encrypted /data partition from a shell (ultimately via adb shell in recovery)?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lekensteyn:
By experimentation and checking the system/vold/ source code, I was able to unlock the encrypted partition using:

setprop ro.crypto.state encrypted
vdc cryptfs checkpw 'your passphrase here'

The unlocked device is then available in /dev/block/dm-0, and can be mounted directly read-only using:

mount -o ro /dev/block/dm-0 /data

If you want it to be read/write, simply remove the -o ro part (or run mount -o remount,rw /data after running the above mount command). Do not run vdc cryptfs restart in recovery, there is nothing to catch the triggers so all future vdc commands will hang.

Oh, and when done, do not forget to unmount your partition:

umount /data
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dy/dx:
Thanks a lot, that sounds great.

However, now I have big trouble getting vdc cryptfs to work in recovery :( It needs /dev/socket/vold but vold is not started.

I am getting a bootloop with cyanogenmod and want to disable the encryption from recovery. Any ideas how to resolve that/start vold?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lekensteyn:
For future readers, I have a minivold process in recovery. If you do not have (mini)vold, try upgrading recovery.

I tried the commands in clockwerkmod recovery but /dev/block/dm-0 isn't found (nexus 4 with Cyanogenmod 11):

mount: mounting /dev/block/dm-0 on /data failed: No such file or directory

Is there a way to access the encrypted data?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lekensteyn:
There is likely a way, but if it does not work (this is not documented, so it might change), have a look at your logs for what went wrong. Since logcat is probably nog available, you have to read logs with cat /dev/log/system and/ or (in a second shell) cat /dev/log/main.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boeleman:
Don't know whether this helps, but I found that these commands work on cwm recovery while they do not on twrp. This seems to be because in cmw vold is started while in twrp it isn't.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _allo_:
Is there some "cryptfs clear", which wipes the crypt signature?

I am having trouble with creating a crypted data with some ROM right now and always need to override the whole device to get rid of the crypt signature (i guess in the end of the device?). So something which clears the crypt bytes, so the data can be reformatted as non-crypt partition would be useful. So the ROMS still want to mount it with password.

or is this one of the times i should just locate a theme that works with touchwiz that i like and use that?

One thing u can try that made speed things up slightly is to go into developers options and turn off or change the transition animation scale, Window animation scale and Duration animation scale.
