Hello,
I was wondering if XBMC will still be operational on the Ouya console coming out in April? If so, is the hardware good enough to run XBMC smoothly with 1080p movies?

Libstagefright is either a German compound word about the delicious angst that comes before performing live, or native Android hardware acceleration that works on Ouya!

There is nothing impressive about playing 1080p videos in 2013.
The real question is can it run the XBMC gui, update library etc smoothly. Can you run an attractive skin without lagging badly.

Sadly, it is impressive when faced with the challenge of finding a free and open source solution that doesn't have NDAs and works on multiple deices in a heavily fragmented Android and/or ARM world. In theory it shouldn't be this hard to get hardware video decoding working with XBMC on most, if not all, devices such as this. A lack of standards between chip makers, a lack of a standard API from Google/Android, chipmakers thinking that a private API that requires an NDA is a good idea, and other factors, make playing 1080p in 2013 on an ARM device an uphill battle.

Ouya is a tegra3 based device, so the question is, are there tegra3 based linux distros with full HW video acceleration ?
