I've been testing most of them...so far I have no results using any of the amplayer builds. The Prometheus just isn't setup for it ATM.
The libstagefright build don't work right. I can play sd video using the sw player.
The unofficial external decoder builds work well using mx player...but that is not a proper solution and not what I am looking for in an XBMC box.

Same here no XBMC build works with HD movies. But the sound passed through with HDMI works in XBMC for me there I get DTS and AC3 sent correctly to my reciever. But in MX player etc I just get constant static instead and after a reboot the sound is sent as PCM even if HDMI passthrough looks like its set.
Feels like this box still have much to get fixed on...

Anyone would think they are guarding state secrets.
If only they'd realise that by being GPL complient they'd sell so many more boxes.... too dumb to see that.
So another piece of worthless electronics destined to bite the dust. What a shame..... pmsl.

Every one needs to know that Geekbuying and Vission(SP) has very poor product support. They told me three weeks ago that they would have firmware in a couple of days and asked"could I wait a few days" I replied of course I could wait two days......zzzzzz....zzzzz Three weeks later and nothing! False advertising at it's best. Now I guess they will learn the power of the internet and forums.
If you are looking for a good "unsupported door stop" buy a Tronsmart Prometheus. Sorry Pivos...I will do more homework next time!
