Any specific build you'd like me to test? I've tried the latest test build from 5th of August (as well as others) and it decodes 720p MKV fine but only for about 30-40 seconds then XBMC crashes completely and I'm thrown back into the launcher in Android. I don't have logs but I can easily create some when I get home.

No specifics, any nightly would do.

Please, if you can, extract a log with "adb logcat" (see http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html) or use a tool like catlog (https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...gcat&hl=en, needs root).

Unfortunately, for XBMC crashes, we need a logcat to have a backtrace.

Thx, if i have android 4.3 on my galaxy S4 (rooted) i gonna post a log also.

There is libstagefright on Mele A1000G, but don´t nail me to it. It uses the wrong "items" it uses the GPU and it should use the CPU or was it vice versa dunno?

Ok here we go for the MeLE A1000G with the latest Android test build from the 12th of August:

Never did debugging on the XBMC so just tell me if you need something different/more etc.

Hope I can ask a general question here. On my Ouya with android nightly from august 6th (and also with the last libstagefright alpha pre-merge) I had a file that didnt play smooth, it played at 11 fps.

Turns out this format is not being hardware decoded (see thread below for details). That explains the issue but I was hoping for the Ouya to replace my old Asrock ION 330 equiped machine and now it fails on at least one format (and some other issues still but thats for another topic). What I am not sure about though and would like to understand if this is because the Tegra 3 chip doesnt support hardware decoding of this format or perhaps libstagefright doesnt support this format? My old ion 330 handles it fine, I tried to test myself if it uses hardware decoding but on my openelec machine when pressing "o" I dont have a line starting with P and then dc: something. And if I had I probably still wouldnt know what it means. If the Ion also doesnt support this in hardware decoding then it is the old cpu doing its job, whereas the Tegra 3 is a newer quad-core.

Asking just to generally grasp the possibilitties and limitations of this box (Ouya) and platform (Android).

Anyone please? Just curious where the bottleneck lies: ouya, libstagefright or elsewhere.

I never got h/w accelerated VC1 working on any device, really, and especially tegra3.

Thanks, very informative. I cannot promise I can make it work, but I'll have a look.

Great, thanks. Please just tell me if you need other things tested, other log files etc. I tried to stream some SD files afterwards and they play fine but 720p MKV files always make XBMC crash after maybe 30 seconds.

I've opened a RMA case with the vendor of the box so hopefully I will be able to return it (as it's unstable) but maybe the debugging work can help other A1000G owners.

[Justinuk]

Any update on this version? Still unstable.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Android 4.1.2, Neon enabled ARMv7 Processor) streaming from a NAS via SMB using the 20130814 test build (with libstagefright and render auto detect selected in the XBMC video playback control panel) does not play blu-ray isos, but does play DVD isos.

I am not using any external player.

Debug log shows the following messages at lines 1271 to 1280 for an attempt to play a blu-ray iso:

Did I miss a required Andoid or XBMC setting or do I need to create an advancedsettings.xml or do something else to get blu-ray iso playback working?

Thank you.

Install a custom firmware, make sure it has the new libstagefright.so file. The above rom does.
720p should then work perfect as well as 50% of 1080p videos.

or use the external player solution to play 1080p, but live streams and some addons might not play well.

I tried finless Rom and 720p is working great.. 1080 doesn't work but I don't really care about it anyways.. thanks buddy .. really appreciate

I'm just curious - does it play 720p MKVs? I got the same (great) tablet and so far mine has played everything I've thrown at it - and that's with the official 12.2 release.

[Brc995]

@Varming

Thanks for your message, that sounds encouraging for my issue.

At this time I use mkvs only for some seamless branch 1080p 3D blu-rays and do not have any 720p mkvs.

[Varming]

With the size of the screen and the resolution it has I don't see any reason to go higher than 720p. But if you stream from the tablet to a bigger screen I understand the need.

All test-files ok, except "vc1_1080p_ap_l3_18mbps_ac3_hddvd.mkv", which stutters a bit.
Is a xbmc.log, or a logcat file from a working device, useful ?
If yes, I will add it here.
Otherwise, great work.
