which should boost the video playback performance.Shocked

So, does that mean that all the effort I have made converting my whole library to h264 has been unnecessary? I still have a few (200) films left to code, and Handbrake is getting a little weary...

Fantastic work, by the way!

don't want to jinx myself, but initial testing seems to show that my buffering issues have gone away. A 2 gig/2 hour standard def xvid was giving me tons of buffering the past two days is going fine right now. curious to hear if it's fixing the buffering issues that others were having that didn't seem to be related to decoding (cpu was never spiking, yet it buffered a lot even when there should have been sufficient bandwidth..the file streams to other devices just fine.)

edit: still seeing some (though reduced) buffering on a higher bitrate 720p mkv [high profile 4.1, 10.8 mbs avg bitrate, spikes up to 17 or 18]. I'm not sure if there's some still wonky bottleneck with smb shares on mac, or if it's running up against the limitations of the hardware. Watching cpu usage on the OSD it tends to hang around 80% on that file so while a bit taxing, it's not dropping frames or anything until a handful when it buffers. still..some definitely improvements on this build. thanks to everyone involved.

Of course not, the hardware decoder for mpeg4 AVC stuff is superior to the ffmpeg software decoding. He's just making is better.

I packaged root2's iOS build as well into a .deb and updated my 1st post, but here it is:

Test away!

Hey guys,

Been installing all of the nightly builds and then just got an error trying to install the 02/01 build.

during the deb package install i get a dependency error for xbmc.iconpack.

Code:
Unpacking replacement org.xbmc.xbmc-ios ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of org.xbmc.xbmc-ios:
org.xbmc.xbmc-ios depends on org.xbmc.xbmc-iconpack; however:
  Package org.xbmc.xbmc-iconpack is not installed.
dpkg: error processing org.xbmc.xbmc-ios (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
org.xbmc.xbmc-ios

Is there somewhere I should be installing the iconpack from? I tried an apt-get upgrade but couldn't find it in a repo.

Thanks.

Still getting slight stuttering/frame drops in my 1080p Avatar x264 mkv (wired), watchable but slightly annoying.

It's in 16:9 format not sure if this is the issue as my other 1080 BD rips are widescreen and play smoothly.

Strange. I will look into this when I get home in an hour or two.

Has anyone else been able to use the iOS .dep package?

I got the same error when I installed the 1-29 build via SSH and iFile. I just installed the iconpack via Cydia, and it was all good after that.

Thanks for this fantastic work! The rotation bug on the iPad had been really uh ... bugging me. Haven't tried this build yet, but will shortly.

xbmc remote will not work inside Apple Tv to my knowledge. But i will try it out.

like the shutdown tweak... saves me an extra click

The newest .deb worked fine for me, though I already had the iconpack installed this time.

it works on the atv nightly build after configuring the webserver in network settings. keyboard input is a bit wonky (individual commands work, but you can't use it to fill in forms)
