1) Show me the facts!
2) Who do you think coded the XBMC build they are using in the first place?
3) Who do you think is keep squeezing the bugs?
4) If it comes to XBMC on Amlogic there is currently only ONE BRANCH that is under development;
https://github.com/Pivosgroup/xbmc
5) But I dare you to come with the prove to show us otherwise...
Eskro is really the only that is taking you serious / taking the bait. The rest including the Dev's do not even respond anymore to users like yourself;

Android 4.2 is coming for the prometheus soon. It should also fix the dts issue.
I'll post up a link when I get it.

Have installed the update on my box to. Plays 1080p mkv smooth from smb shares and DTS to the receiver works now. But audio is out off sync. Set android to passthrough, but out off sync still.

Ok...I know this purchase was NOT my best one. But I don't have deep pockets(divorce,lawyers..blah,blah blah) and would let to get this device to work. It actually seems to be getting better. Is there a simple fix to getting the audio to sync?? amount of offset etc? I have never had a lot of success setting the offset, probably not doing it right.
Sorry dev's I know this box is a sorry issue with you's.
I just want to use it for SMB shares at the moment....I assume if I use a video app and not XBMC I will have the same issue?
Thanks ALL

is this 4.2 firmware also fixing issues that the 4.1.2 firmware caused?
such as
-----------
. youtube app wouldn't play videos, black video screen and thats it
. google play store wouldn't open at all, would crash as soon as its launched
anyone can confirm if those 2 are now working?
and also, im not using a powered hub, i'm trying to use my USB Pen drive
to play movies off of it sometimes but,
prometheus only detects the SD card and not my Pen drives....
any of u had luck with your usb ports?

You need to install youtube on the 4.2 firmware, and yes it does fix the black video screen..
Google play store seems to be working fine for me, but it also worked fine for me in the other firmwares.
As for external drives I've tested a 32GB Sandisk Cruzer pen drive, 8GB no name pen drive, a 320GB external Western Digital HD formatted to fat32, and a 1TB external Samsung HD formatted to NTFS.
They all worked for me.
