First time poster, first time XBMC user.
FireTV was just too interesting to pass up and I've been waiting to jump into XBMC for the last 2 years (previously on WDLXTV).
I first intalled XBMC for OUYA 12.3.2 and played around with it for the last few days (love love love it) until the recent patch to Gotham.
Now i'm running Gotham 4.17 release with my FireTV without any issues so far.
Two things I noticed, not sure if they are bugs (again I'm new to the platform, but I did notice these differences between Ouya and Gotham)
1) The back button (AFTV remote) on Gotham, during a keyboard session does not "back out" like it did in Ouya. Instead it deletes the previous character when typing.
Maybe this is intended behavior, but I was not able to quickly back out of a keyboard screen with any button. Which wouldn't be too bad, but i found myself in an
endless loop when adding a source which had an incorrect path. I couldn't exit out (because of above mentioned key functionality). Ouya version allowed me to back out of any screen by hitting the "back" button
2) My music library refreshes everytime I go to this category and it reloads everything from my NAS. Maybe this is a setting I need to change somewhere? But it doesn't do this for any other content i'm setting from the same NAS source (i.e Movies, TV)
I'm also happy to keep testing and reporting back. I have a Denon receiver and a marantz receiver.
Oh...and I read about this VC1 issue... I want to test, is there a way I can scan my media and get a list of the codecs being used for them? I don't know which ones are VC1
Cheers,
Ali
