What skins are you all using? Confluence is super fast but I'd like a tiny bit more customization (like having a playlist in favorites start playing when clicked on instead of bringing up the contents). I tried Hybrid since its was what i used before but it really lags. What other skins are as fast as Confluence?

I'm rather fond of Eminence, which works great on the FTV. It's a WIP skin but good enough for day to day use at this time - just missing a few things (like home screen widgets for music and weather) that will come eventually.

It looks fantastic and in spite of that performs very well on lower end hardware. Also has a great EPG for LiveTV if that is needed.

[quote='voip-ninja' pid='1708640' dateline='1399993418'] I see a lot of issues whether it be VC1, HD audio, 23.976 playback, and now this issue with MKV files.


But yeah, simple answer as always, if this box doesnt meet your needs, then its best to get something else.

I knew about VC1, HD Audio and 23.976 when I bought the FTV, however I'm rather gobsmacked that nobody has mentioned that some H.264 MKVs won't play properly either... that's a pretty big deal to some of us... those of us who rip our own media anyhow.

Well the things barely been out for a month and someone has reported it - you are that someone I mean, these things take time, it's a new device and there's a new XBMC out, within days/weeks of one another.

Now that it's known hopefully you'll get some traction on the issue. I have quite a few 1:1 rips myself that I just haven't tried on the FTV because I've A) Already watched them and B) Mostly use the FTV for TV Rips as it is. That said I'll test some of my BD rips and look for the problem.
