As i really want it on my android.
Nevermind, i fixed this problem by downgrading all the way to Frodo!!

Okay so it seems fixing one problem has caused me another. Pre-gotham releases of xbmc did not have accelerators for android, so now my videos are choppy. Is there anyway of manually getting the accelerators onto Frodo?

Lol cant stop replying to myself? Hopefully this will help other people on the forum though. Turns out the accelerators are the actual problem. I downloaded the latest alpha of Kodi and it played sound (and not just for 8 seconds). Then I manually turned of the acceleration and it played video, and what I found strange was that is wasn't choppy like it was in Frodo (at least for now).

Just curious, have you tried SPMC? I've not had the issues you described, but if you are not familiar with it, SPMC is a fork of Kodi with specific tweaks and fixes for android. It has fixed many android related issues I've had in the past. Latest version is based on Kodi 4.1.

I found that you can leave on all the HW acceleration on a straight copy of Helix 14.x or Isengard 15.0 if you add the following to advancedsettings.xml for Android on a Amazon Fire Stick

Code:
<advancedsettings>

  <network>

    <buffermode>1</buffermode>

    <cachemembuffersize>150000000</cachemembuffersize>

    <readbufferfactor>10</readbufferfactor>

  </network>

  <video>

    <stagefright>

      <!--  -1 is default, 0 is never used this codec, 1 is always use this codec, bypassing blacklist -->

      <useavccodec>hd</useavccodec>

      <usevc1codec>hd</usevc1codec>

      <usevpxcodec>hd</usevpxcodec>

      <usemp4codec>hd</usemp4codec>

      <usempeg2codec>hd</usempeg2codec>

      <useswrenderer>false</useswrenderer>

    </stagefright>

    <mediacodec>

      <!--  -1 is default, 0 is never used this codec, 1 is always use this codec, bypassing blacklist -->

      <useavccodec>-1</useavccodec>

      <usevc1codec>-1</usevc1codec>

      <usevpxcodec>-1</usevpxcodec>

      <usemp4codec>-1</usemp4codec>

      <usempeg2codec>-1</usempeg2codec>

      <useswrenderer>false</useswrenderer>

    </mediacodec>

  </video>

</advancedsettings>

Hello! This is my first post. I've read through this entire thread but haven't found an answer to my problem. I am trying to watch the replays of the F1 Australian GP but the add-on crashes to the home screen as soon as the stream starts to play. I live in the US so I wouldn't think I would need a VPN in order to watch. Does anyone have idea what could be going wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

My current setup is Gotham v13.2 on a Matricom android box. One thing I've noticed is that there is an inherent instability with this system. I'll be enjoying an add-on one day and the next it doesn't work for some reason. I'm still new to the XBMC world and don't really know much about opening the hood and tinkering with the settings. I'm hoping to find some quality tips here in this forum to keep me going.

Hi,

Firstly, great add-on, I've been using it for a while with no problems using smartdns so thanks.

I've recently set it up on my farthers win7 laptop on Kodi 14.1 with no problems however I've just tried doing it on a work colleagues win8 laptop and I'm getting a Script Error every time I try and open Live and Upcoming, really odd. Tried uninstalling several times but still no idea.

Anyone got any ideas? Tried installing from the rep and then directly from zip but still the same.

Cheers
