I tried Aeon MQ5 and found it to be slow. Especially if you have a large collection. When I go to my movie collection and scroll down it chugs. This doesnt happen in Nox/Amber/Confluence.

I loaded Nova and TVLauncher. You can't set any other app as the default launcher if that's what you're wondering. But with some Llama trickery, you can get the home button to take you back to the selected launcher...or XBMC like I have. I have the Amber skin, favorited the Netflix/Hulu/etc apps and added them to the home menu. Now I see this when I press Home.

That is neat. Is there a limit on the number of Apps that you can add to the home menu? Can you display them in a grid format to add more apps?

Please try this build: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/andr...bi-v7a.apk
You should be able to do:
PHP Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<menu>CodecInfo</menu>
<backspace>Stop</backspace>
<rewind>Rewind</rewind>
<fastforward>FastForward</fastforward>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
If it doesn't, please provide an xbmc log.

Have to launch XBMC manually the first time, which changes said variable to false. Then one more event that says if variable is false and current app is KFTV Launcher, launch XBMC. This actually will just take you back to where you were in XBMC last, but oh well. And sometimes you'll see the Amazon home for a second before XBMC comes up. Not perfect, but also way easier for letting other people cruise around on the box.

Can you display them in a grid format to add more apps?Amber only allows to set like 8 or so custom links in the GUI, but you may be able to edit the guisettings or favorites XML to add more. I don't know.

Both versions, and with the right skin, will allow you to favorite those then add them as custom menus. Only Gotham correctly launches them though. If you have issues getting to the Programs menu, switch back to Confluence skin and favorite your apps there. Amber crashes for me when going to Programs. After that, you can switch to whatever skin.

I also don't see it if I skip forward/backwards, although if I skip backward multiple times in a row the vid will become pixelated for a few secs.
The jitter seems to primarily happen when the vid is panning (left to right or right to left) and looks like what happens when I turn the "motion enhancements" On on my TV.
