It should work. Can you get us a
debug log (wiki)?

You will never see a working version for A31 of XBMC (closed source HW driver from Allwinner, say thanks to them...)

A31 actually works using the standard mediacodec hardware video decoding.

The mediacodec in 4.2.2 of A31 (which 99% of all A31 "mediaboxes" are using) is VERY bad, unstable and useless. In 4.4.2 it improved as far as I know, but most boxes won´t get an update. (Mele, AV200 etc.)

Why wouldn't those boxes get an update?

Because (Well, Mele said that, so take that with a grain of salt) That Allwinner is not releaseing 4.4 sourcecode for Allwinner A31 TV boxes which differs from, for example, tablet sourceode (SPDIF for example) someone might be able to merge 4.2 with 4.4 but no one will do it...

Seems to me very likely that vidon.me has a big interest in getting that to work.
I should receive their AV200 soon for testing.

You will port 4.4 to Allwinner 31 TV box? Or do you try to fix XBMC for AV200? If you try to fix XBMC for 4.2, well as far as I know the mediacodec is very unstable in that Version. Nontheless, I which you all the luck!

I have no clue how you got any of those assumptions from my statement.
To answer all of your questions: No.
I meant that vidon.me, which is a commercial organisation has an interest on working on 4.4.2 for their AV200 box.
Their is already some information on their forums about it. As far as I understand the kitkat SDK was already released for allwinner A31
Where do you get your information that noone will do it?
Is there any statement from these companies?
