Yes root has been obtained as per Justins method, he hasn't released how its done yet but will be doing so. He also has proven that you will be able to load custom images as his video shows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl...LR8zGhLLb4

Are you using optical? Look at the audio settings under system and adjust them accordingly. It is probably set to HDMI but if you are using optical, it wont work.

Yep. .. i can see all the content on my nas over smb... including seeing and playing DVD .iso files. .. i was planning on trying nfs tonight...

Just curious.

Will the "xbmc for minix" version work with fire tv box? Or is that dedicated for Rochchip?
"xbmc for minix" work well with the minix box and most likely the most stable device for XBMC on an Android box at present.

I was able to load xbmc for ouya 2.3.2 on the minix box... and i see lots of dropped frames on HD 1080p playback, similar to what users experienced on the fire tv. so was just curious.

It won't let you run it. If you try it will say this is for minix boxes only and you click ok and it shuts down.
Beyond Xbmc has a version and a ouya version try one of those.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to a publicly available root.

Hey there, I've looked through all the posts here, and haven't seen an answer to this yet:

Any luck getting something like Startup Manager to install, so you can open XBMC straight after startup? Also, I'm guessing you can use XBMC to launch the Fire's Netflix and Amazon Prime Apps?

I am not using SPMC or Beyond or Ouya...

I have tried Gotham Nightly - Latest Trunk - and was not happy with FPS...

I am happy with (ATV 2 Performance) XBMC Frodo 12.3....

Yes. SMB, NFS, HTTP, etc. work for Network (Im using a TimeCapsule)

Yes. All plugins work (1Link, Ice, 1CH, etc.) and no loss or issues whatsoever!

ATV2 Performance with video (FPS)... No noticeable issues whatsoever.

For now (until ROM/ROOT/DEV support XBMC) comes, I have replaced my ATV2, Pivos and GBox with this and happy... Fast Text Parsing (python intensive tasks) and decent playback (ATV2) ability "as-is"...

Does the MCE remote (IR) work with Fire TV? I can then use my Harmony with Fire TV.

Note that the Fire TV doesn't have an IR receiver built-in; you'll need to install a USB receiver; the flirc is known to work.

I'm using the flirc with the harmony flirc profile and it works great. ..
