Yes, after playing around with it a bit last night, I found that it does seem to be PAPlayer that is having the issue. Problem is there for both wired and wireless. I have tried SMB and uPnP...same issue with both, but switching to DVDPlayer fixes the problem.
For anyone experiencing the same issue, I had to create an advancedsettings.xml file and put this in it...
<advancedsettings>
<audio>
<defaultplayer>dvdplayer</defaultplayer>
</audio>
</advancedsettings>
The file needs to be put in Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata

Hi folks,
First time posting on this forum. Please forgive me if my question isn't about XBMC, at this stage I'm trying to get my ATV520 up to date so I can actually fully discover XBMC.
I am having a problem with the upgrade and I was wondering if anyone else has come across this problem and if there is a work around (have been googling for a few days and this site is the only site I've come across with useful info on the ATV520).
I've downloaded the latest firmware from Geniatech website and changed the file extension as per their instructions (changed zip to img). I loaded the file on a USB key and plugged it into the ATV520. When I went to the Upgrade app, I could only see the SPI file and not STVMX file.
After upgrading the STVMX file, the unit rebooted and now when I go back into the Upgrade app i don't see any files.
Now I'm left at
Uboot version : 20130805.093715
Recovery version: 20130808.101301
Kernel version: 20130321.180136
Build number: v1.03.04MX01_20130327
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
TIA
UPDATE: Found the trick from the ATV1200 post. Had to hit the menu button 8 times in a row once I was in the Local Update section and all the update files appeared.

Weird, I've never heard of that trick but it's good to know. For me, I had to do the first update manually - I downloaded both FW files, did *not* rename them (left the extension as zip seemed to work), unplugged the atv520,plugg the usb key in, held down the reset button on the bottom of the unit while plugging in the power cable. The box will boot up for 10sec and then you let go of the reset button. It should boot into the manual update menu. Once I got the first update done I've used the update app shortcut since with no issues.

As far as I know there is no Linux build for the atv520. It is android only. I am not sure about the atv 1200 but given they have virtually the same hardware I'd say no Linux either.

Hello... I updated XBMC on my ATV520 to 12.2. It cannot connect to the DLNA server on a MyBook Live (could not do so on 12.0 either, though). MyBook runs Twonky (5.1.9). It does see the ATV520 as a media player named 'o2 Joggler'. I can connect to it via SMB, so I do not have a major problem, but like what DLNA brings to the product.
Another DLNA server (WDCLoud) is seen by XBMC and is fully functional.
BTW. Mediahouse does see the MBL as DLNA and is functional there.
Thanks.. cj

This seems to be a brilliant little android box. I was a bit skeptical about android at first - I really wanted to put linux on the thing. But I have to say so far this unit is as fast, if not faster than my HTPC. I was surprised. Unless I get stability problems, I can see no reason to go to linux at all, but time will tell.

As far as my understanding goes, even with your signal at 100%, you won't be any faster with a single antenna. I could be wrong though.

Anyone managed to get a working CEC connection?
I had no luck with that, but i guess it's due to my HDMI cable
