Full Version: Owl Chip ATM7039 compatibility
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Does anyone know if the Action ATM7039 chipset is supported by XBMC? I video playback with 720 is ok, but 1080 is very choppy. Is it something that can be tweaked?

They player plays the 1080 videos fine in it's own player (OWL player) but is choppy through XBMC.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Did you try with XBMC v13.1?
Hi Ned

Yeah I am running that version already.

Thing is 1080 runs perfectly naively but not in XBMC, Would you, or anyone, know if I can bypass the XBMC just when playing 1080 video? (i know that sort of defeats the purpose of the lovely XBMC interface)

It's got 1GB of ram and is a quadcore, so I imagined it would be enough processing power (even though it's not in the lists on the Android hardware page)
Sorry, the chipset is actually Action ATM7029
Hi Ned, we have taken a log.

Can you please have a look and see if it's ok? Thanks
[EDIT] Nvm, wrong link.

Have you tried disabling Mediacodec in System-Video-Acceleration?
Hi,

I've uploaded another one of the logs (wasn't sure if the previous one worked): http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=237707

- 3/4 cores get maxed out to 100% when running files
- Most files max out at 14fps

Disabling media acceleration just causes the files that play at low fps to become choppy and unplayable. Other files caused the system to crash and reboot.

Last log available: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=237731

Not sure if this captures the crash though.
Just another point to the above:

AVI files are not playing within the XBMC player.

These play natively in Android video player though. Details of the codecs below:

File details
- MPEG4 (XVID) video
- A52 (aka AC3) audio

Any idea to the cause of this?
