Keep in mind the official statement is that the Tegra2 is not supported: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_for_Android_specific_FAQ#Requirements

If you are unsure if your device is a Tegra2 check out http://www.gsmarena.com/ and do a search. They have details on most Android Phones / Tablets including the processor. I am not affiliated with the site, I just find it very useful for tracking down what hardware is in a given mobile device.

Great...My tablet is already obsolete.

I wonder why Tegra 2 is not going to be supported. That leaves out a huge chunk of popular tablets.

I ask because I have a Tegra 2 tablet (Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 1838) and Tegra 2 devices are not supported currently (and may never be). However, it is not my goal to use XBMC to display video on my TV. I merely want to display it on the tablet itself -- and I already have players that will play all of the video stored on my home NAS. So you may wonder why I'd even want to install XBMC at all. It's so that my young son can use cover flow to scroll through the movies on the NAS, then select and play what he wants. He doesn't read much yet, so I have to read him the titles, one-by-one, which is time consuming.

I don't need XBMC to be my player, just my method of browsing the files to play.

Quote:"When we announced Nexus Q at Google I/O, we gave away devices to attendees for an early preview. The industrial design and hardware were met with great enthusiasm. We also heard initial feedback from users that they want Nexus Q to do even more than it does today. In response, we have decided to postpone the consumer launch of Nexus Q while we work on making it even better."

I have looked into this (see my branch https://github.com/Montellese/android/compare/android-rebase-8...external_player) and in general it is possible (and probably a lot easier than my quick hack) but I haven't found any way of getting feedback from the android player yet so when I finished playing a video with the android player it returns back to XBMC but XBMC still thinks that the video is playing and you have to manually "stop" it.

I use xbmc mainly for the streaming video add-ons since I'm ok with using the native video players for the files that I have on my file shares and such. For the devices that might not be supported like the tegra 2 I'm satified with using the xbmc video addons to parse the content and just have an android player play the video stream.

I'm 99% sure that it won't work because XBMC has it's own implementation for handling all those streaming protocols etc.

If that's all you want to do why not use something like MovieBrowser UPnP for Tablet
