Their library (Which I'm still ripping, ugh...) is mostly DVDs and a few Blu-Ray Discs all encoded into h.264 with handbrake. What I wanted to know was if I set it up as an XBMC only system, you know have it ignore the FTV launcher, would it still be able to use android apps like prime and Netflix?? If it can't thats alright though it would help to sell it to them at least until (if ever) that stuff becomes a proper addon. I have been doing a lot of Googling and I would think it could sense it is just like regular android just with a custom skin but I just want to verify.
Thanks
you can boot up Netflix from within XBMC but i dont think you can boot up Prime. You can convert the Classic TV app to an XBMC shortcut (instructions are a page or two back) and just have them exit it to get to Netflix and Prime
