I also had the same problem with the latest gotham nightly with the audio delay. But with a 0.2 second fix and applied it for all video's this seems to be fixed. But at first I didn't have this problem, only after running now for a few days it's suddenly out of sync. With the sync correct feature not to big of a problem. Other then that, it's a perfect setup for me right now. I primarily use it as XBMC only box and with autopilot starting XBMC after boot it works perfectly. I'm thinking of creating a video just to show how it all works.

Has anyone tried using a Wii remote controller as an air mouse? I believe it is bluetooth based, so it should work.

I spent a lot of time downloading .so's from the FTV's /system/lib directory to try to determine if the hardware libraries exist to decode vc1. OMX.qcom.video.decoder.vc1 seems to exist in the XML files used by MediaCodec and in the OMX Core libraries. I did note that VC1 (and others) for stagefright libraries are denoted as 'soft' in the library name. Is anyone seeing a particular error on VC1 setup with dvdplayer? I don't know that the mime-type in dvdplayer matches the mime-type expected by OMX.
I acknowledge that I could be completely in the weeds! There are some samples ( qcomvideocodecsample131.zip ) on Qualcomm's developer site, but I am uncertain what encumbrances come with signing up for an account.
Also, I am _very_ uncomfortable in rooting my device to see the stuff under /data and various other setup/startup/init scripts. So I probably won't do that. I will attempt to pull the FireTV's andriod logfile after an attempt to play a VC1 to see if there are any interesting errors.
Anyway, heading down a rabbit hole, but Alice in Wonderland is in AVC.

I am running Gotham Beta 4 (Apr 19th) and use HDMI Audio to my TV (Stereo). The FTV downmixes DTS HD MA and Dolby TrueHD down to stereo just fine while playing AVC movies at 1080p. I have noticed no delay in the audio. I have not modified any settings under the Audio section of XBMC or FTV.

I've been reading this thread for a while and have been holding off on buying the fire tv. I have the intel nuc and it works xbmc well. but I want to get one for my parents. Can someone confirm that xbmc works 1080p properly? Is there a way to boot directly to xbmc?
