To summarize, we have two updated builds (correct me, if this is wrong):
1. SPMC 12.4.2 (http://filez.semperpax.com/5r4ln85l) will support DTS and AC3 and is based on Frodo 12.3.
2. Gotham build (http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/andr...bi-v7a.apk) will only support stereo.
I have updated the Wiki accordingly.
So, either of these are preferable over XBMC for OUYA 12.3.2 for Fire TV? Thanks.
Yes, these are updated builds and should be preferred over the previous builds.
I'll have to update tonight my SPMC install. Looking forward to an eventual Gotham build that works completely!

Thanks for all of your work Koying.
MediaCodec worked on your OUYA? I had to disable MediaCodec on my OUYA since it played all my DivX/XviD so poorly. With it off, they play just fine.

Pretty sure the listed OUYA version also supports decoding DTS/AC3 (DTS/AC3 was pulled in a subsequent build).
Or are you referring to pass-through abilities?
@ Koying
Do you plan on checking the Gotham fixes into the main branch, or would they possibly break compatibility with other devices?

XBMC for ouya is still my version of choice. The new spmc version closed spmc when I tried playing a movie with dts-hd even though I had it disabled from pass through. I'll do more testing after work.

Yes, actually they worked the best with it on. A friend of mine had the same experience as you and told me I was wasting my time with the OUYA. Then I updated to the nightly build of gotham with MediaCodec on and it ran flawlessly, after he saw it he decided to get one but then the FireTV came out literally the same week and we are hoping you clever folk will get it at least as robust as the OUYA.
There is a very subtle jaggedness or jutter or choppiness (not sure what to call it) that I get only with Xvid/Divx, I tried straight multithreaded software decoding and it doesn't seem to make a bit of difference, not to mention that only 3 cores are being used which doesn't seem right. It's almost like switching from libstagefright to software multithreading doesn't actually do anything.

What are the chances of getting 4k content with the amazon Fire TV?
*Update*
Those jerks have 10/100/1000 too. i hope the androidtv boxes have more of these options.
Ouya software is also coming to the Mad Catz M.O.J.O. which is based on the exact same hardware as the Nuvola and is only $199, see

Yes the Ouya version does DTS and DD pass through.

I know I own two madcatz Mojo's. I haven't gotten DTS pass through to work though. Mojo isn't touting 4k and no gig port.
I concur with the other findings. 12.4.2 works great with pass-through to optical out. Monsters clip plays as DTS-ES Matrix 5.1 on my receiver.
The Gotham build works as well without passthrough. Thanks Koying!!!
The only other piece to my puzzle is getting the mythtv pvr client working with pass-through. It works great on Gotham, but the version is still the old one on 12.4.2. Does anyone know how to build the pvr clients for Android. I found some reference on how to do linux builds, but not clear on Android builds.
If i can get the right version working on 12.4.2 with passthrough - that would be great
Thanks

Specs are similar and the price identical...
What's important is from whom you buy the device.
Ebay or other obscure vendors means little to no support...
If the newest Pivos box proves to be an Amlogic M8, it's a sure winner...
I don't know about pivos they made 1 box while others have made several. Personally interested in minix new box. They offer good support and release updates. Plus I like they have several boxes to choose from.
But pivos over gbox and mx2 horrible company

Could you double-check that XBMC for OUYA doesn't do pass-through, please? I'm pretty sure mine does, but I'am at work.
Edite: NM, someone already checked.
I'm sure this is a stupid question, but can't quite figure it out. Messing with SPMC 12.3.3 and 12.4.2 currently. How can I add Netflix and Hulu to the Main Menu or is this not possible? I know I can launch them under apps, but ideally I would have them as part of the main menu bar on the home screen. I've searched, but haven't come up with anything.
Latest SPMC 12.4.2 plays great for me with Monsters (no dropped frames w/ 5.1 DTS audio on). Also, DTS passes through both toslink and HDMI cables successfully (I had XBMC's Audio Output set to "optical/coax" in both tests).
