Tinwarble. Thank you. That worked perfect. You da man. Grateful for you taking a min to help.
I will post on the libstagefright thread that they should post this within the first post for newbies. Had it been there I'd have been okay without asking.
E.g. Within XBMC, go to: "System> Settings> Display> Scroll down to the bottom and change it to "Expert" mode> Then go to Acceleration> And then turn off mediacodec but leave libstagefright on." Easy. Thank you again.
Koying. Actually, you're the man. Haha. And I wanted to let you know that this version ( http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/andr...bi-v7a.apk ) is playing flawlessly for me. At least to my eye.
I need to learn how to get the real time stats up on the screen so I can see if there are dropouts, but it doesn't look like there are ANY. Makes movie watching fun again.
I don't use optical out nor any pass through type audio, so can't report back. Not that I'm against it. I just need to learn about what's a good receiver to buy and I might get into it. It will have to be low wattage though I won't buy. (PM'd suggestions or thread links always appreciated. Then I can contribute on future builds to help the community.)
The only thing that isn't working is skip ahead on my FTV remote. That not enabled or I need to do something special? Or just use another remote?
I have a Harmony and a FLIRC. Should I just get those going instead? I'd still love to just get the FTV remote to skip ahead. I like its simplicity.
About the FTV:
I wanted to take a minute to share my thoughts on the FTV itself if you all don't mind.
I have to say, this is hands down the BEST experience I've had yet with any player. Any. I own an OUYA. I owned a MINIX X7 with Finless latest. I own a 2820 NUC. I have an ATV 1 & ATV3. And I run XBMC on my desktops. But I have to say, there's something about the hardware they've chosen and the OS they've designed for the FTV that makes it just SMOOTH AS HELL. Even in watching Amazon Prime, Plex and Netflix videos I find the FTV to finally give me the experience I've been longing for. Even the menu's are fast and smooth with a great look. Why has it taken so long for someone to get it right? When watching my FTV I have the experience of forgetting I'm watching through a software based device. It's so smooth to me and never hangs or skips that I feel like I did when watching analog broadcast TV back in the day, only in HD! It's just flawless. I finally can relax and just enjoy the movie. Thank you Amazon! Add to that that it's FANLESS and therefore completely silent, cool to the touch, super low wattage and only $99. I think I'll be buying more. Amazon might be doing Apple fit and finish better than Apple these days. No. Actually they ARE. My Fire HDX 7" tab also rocks.
Anyway. It's also looking like Koying here has given me that same smoothness for my XBMC now as well. Thank you Koying. Do you accept donations?
Thanks all.
