XBMC Wiki for Amazon Fire TV isn't really helpful
Can someone explain this:
Gotham: "Gotham should be your starting point for running XBMC on the Fire TV." (Does this mean playback issues are now just as good as SPMC 12.4.2 ?).
Stable build: " The packages below may be less stable than Gotham." (So why are they under stable build if SPMC 12.4.2 isnt as stable as gotham ?)
I am currently running SPMC 12.4.2 and its great. I would love to use airplay. so planning to upgrade to gotham. but main page of this thread says "only Libstagefright video acceleration is working. MediaCodec acceleration should be disabled". which makes me believe this version is not as good playback as SPMC. Is this information still valid ? if so why is it not mentioned in wiki ?
It takes me few minutes to install Gotham and test. However its just for new comers....
There is various good tools out there to install XBMC in few simple click. would be good if wiki have links to these:
