WARNING:
1. These builds are not for AmLogic nor Allwinner SoC's, which do not support libstagefright
2. They require Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich)
libstagefright is hopefully the answer that many of you have been waiting for: universal support for hardware video decoding in XBMC. This thread is for support on libstagefright test builds of XBMC.
Download
Use the alphas located at http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/android/ or nigthlies.
Note that if MediaCodec is enabled, libstagefright won't be used (besides on ICS)
[UPDATE 29/10/2013]
Cleaned up the OP. Alphas or nightlies are to be used.
Debug Instructions
1. Make sure that debugging is turned on in XBMC under Settings -> System -> Debugging -> Enable debug logging.
2. Restart XBMC so that the debug log (wiki) has start up information
3. Do not post your debug log (wiki) directly to the thread post. Instead, use add-on:XBMC Log Uploader (wiki) or manually paste the log to http://xbmclogs.com . Be careful not to expose any sensitive network passwords in your log. See debug log (wiki) for how to hide those passwords, if you use them.
4. Reply to this thread with the url of your debug log. Tell us the make/model of your Android device, what version of Android it is running, and the steps necessary to reproduce the issue. Describe the issue, such as video artifacts, blurring, stuttering, etc.
