RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - warner83 - 2013-06-19
From someone commenting on my blog the image should work out of the box with mele a2000 (http://hackbmc.blogspot.it/2013/05/hackbmc-version-002.html).
You can try to ping him to know if he applied some modifications to my image.
RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - Snippo - 2013-07-06
I'm also using the libhybris xbmc build on my Mele A1000. The files seem to play fine, but the colors are messed up. It's all pink/light blue. Anyone has a clue what could be causing this? I can't find anything on google about the same problems.

hi Rellla
EDIT2:
At least, I got XBMC compiled.
And it seems to work very good. A10 hw acceleration is used, streaming works and the picture-quality via HDMI is absolutely ok.
No fancy colours or something.
Great, this brings (this otherwise useless piece of c***), back to life!
I am trying to native compile the XBMC from your repo, using this step by step manual: http://linux-sunxi.org/XBMC
EDIT1: Cross-compiling stops at the same point...Cr*p.
Help needed.
Compiler throws the following errors:
Any ideas?

Hi vel2000,
can you tell us, how you fixed the compile error?
Cheers rellla
RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - vel2000 - 2013-07-08
well, it was my fault.
I "git-cloned" the repo on my root-server in Germany, because my local connection here in Asia, was extremely slow (20KB/s)
When finished, I zipped and I dl'ed the git from my root-server onto my local PC.
Unzipped it, and looked into some make files.
Then I messed up one file, because another window stole the focus and I typed something into the wrong window.....
So the repo is ok (for cross compiling).
Didn't test native compiling after that.
Great work, thanks
RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - Snippo - 2013-07-08
I found a solution for my problem. Yesterday I reinstalled the whole bunch and eventually it started working for no obvious reason. Today I tried again and the colors were messed up. When I restart xbmc after the box has booted it works fine (killall -9 xbmc.bin), otherwise I get the messed up colors. I have no clue why that happens but this workaround seems to work so.
RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - rellla - 2013-07-08
I know from another source, that it works after a restart. This smells like some wrong initialization. Sadly i miss the skill to find out the reason. Maybe anyone can take a look into the source and give us some hint, what could be wrong...

RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - vel2000 - 2013-07-09
I found another minor issue.
When I close/kill XBMC, the last Video frame or the XBMC-Gui, remains on the screen.
Means, I can't see the Desktop. The screen is not been redrawn somehow.
So I have to switch to a console (ctrl+Alt+F2) and then back (ctrl+Alt+F7), to see the Desktop.
But mostly, the colours of the Desktop icons or programs, are messed up or inverted after that.
(e.g. Background from context menus switch from usual white to black, etc..)
RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - vel2000 - 2013-07-12
Well, after some tinkering with XBMC on the A10, I found out, that it is useless for RTMP streaming.
I compiled librtmp with the KSV patches for the A10 and it works with the "Livestream" Addon.
But a lot of stuttering, frame drops, etc.
At least, the A10 will end, where it comes from....in my garage, as an Internet-Radio player, running Android and "Tunein".
Wasted time with this "low-end crap".
I have an A31 too, but it seems, nobody is able to build a Linux image for it?
RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - Snippo - 2013-07-12
Mine actually works pretty nice now. The only minor issue is that wifi is quite slow, but I'm too lazy to run an ethernet cable to the box.
The 'fix' I mentioned earlier (restarting xbmc) only seems to work -after- a video has been played. So I added this to rc.local:
Code:
sudo start xbmc
(sleep 40s; sudo xbmc-send -a "PlayMedia(/home/linaro/)"; sleep 5s; sudo xbmc-send -a "PlayerControl(stop)"; sleep 5; sudo restart xbmc) &RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - ayam100 - 2013-07-19

rella has committed the blue-screen fix on its git hub branch. tested and working:
git clone https://github.com/rellla/xbmca10.git rellla
cd rella
git checkout stage/Frodo_fixblue2
cd tools/a10/depends
make
make -C xbmc

RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - ambrosa - 2013-08-24
Hi guys.
I've a Raspberry PI (256MB RAM) with OpenELEC and it works fine (more or less...) to see my videos. It's connected to my Panasonic TV (HDMI) and I control it using CEC (using original Panasonic remote control)
4 months ago I've also bought a Cubieboard A10 (1GB RAM) used since now for a small networked server (no display, mouse, keyboard, only network) and ArchLinux.
Now I've changed OS: Cubian http://cubian.org a Debian Wheezy armhf standard installation coupled with a custom kernel suitable to run with Cubieboard A10 (and A20 too). It works very very fine, I'm very satisfied with Cubian !!
Now, just for fun, I want to compile XBMC for Cubieboard A10 and, in normal usage, to make a comparison with Raspberry.
This is the first time that I compile XBMC but job is working. When I finished I will post a newbie guide to compile xbmc.
But I've a question.
Running usual "make -C xbmc" I see:
Code:
root@Cubian:~/xbmc_cubian/xbmca10/tools/a10/depends# time make -C xbmc
make: Entering directory `/root/xbmc_cubian/xbmca10/tools/a10/depends/xbmc'

Thanks.
