Please allow one more question: Shall i just do that with the SPI or with the firmware also? You speek about "flash both img files"... The spi has 3 img files and the firmware also. Thanks in advice Frank RE: Geniatech ATV1200 and XBMC hardware decoding - davilla - 2013-01-05 don't unzip them, use the update app to select, one at a time. do the spi 1st, then the next one.

Thats sounds really good! Should be easy to fix. Android 4.1 + Dualcore + XBMC + DTS passthrough I will buy one.

Hello, i am not able to use the app as my box is broken after i tried the update. It starts to boot, the android robot is shown and nothing happens anymore. So i have to flash (again) without using the app and don't know how... regards Frank RE: Geniatech ATV1200 and XBMC hardware decoding - Leema - 2013-01-06 On the pictures i see a recovery hole. Maybe this helps.

A xxxx.img file IS a xxx.zip, just renamed. That's how Android works. Both of those files ARE img files, just rename them.

Frank If using the 20120918 packages, you need to unzip both files to get the .img's If using the 20121210 packages, you need to rename both .zip files to .img Then use a paper clip and start the unit in recovery as per the instructions from 'srle' above You will need to flash both SPI and firmware files BTW, you want to be on 20120918, if you need hardware acceleration in XBMC on 20121210 latest XBMC RC3 works, but no hardware acceleration Netflix works on both releases 20121210 is a overall a better firmware, but kind of useless for XBMC at this point RE: Geniatech ATV1200 and XBMC hardware decoding - fpsfreak209 - 2013-01-06 Does composite on older tv work well?

Hello, and many thanks for exemplification the difference in the handling between the to packages. Trough your support I could flash the images successfully. Thanks again Frank RE: Geniatech ATV1200 and XBMC hardware decoding - Darjk - 2013-01-10 Hey, Just about to receive my ATV1200 that I ordered and just wanted to clarify a few things from this thread. So running the 20120918 firmware, hardware acceleration works but only in older versions of XBMC (not the latest v12 rc3)? Running 20121210 has no hardware acceleration, but runs the latest version of XBMC - does this include XBMC builds with AMLPlayer since its using the AML8726-MX chipset, or is it only referring to the standard android build of XBMC? If running the the AMLPlayer build on android, slre noted that it only has PCM audio output - but if you plug it the box to a audio receiver and enable DTS playthrough, that should solve that problem, yeah? Lastly, whats the max storage size of an external USB HDD that its capable of reading? I've tried emailing Geniatech with no reply and can't find the answer anywhere on Google. I would assume it would at least support a 2TB HDD, but has anyone tried it with a 3TB HDD? Thanks and sorry for all the questions! RE: Geniatech ATV1200 and XBMC hardware decoding - davilla - 2013-01-10 2TB HDD RE: Geniatech ATV1200 and XBMC hardware decoding - Darjk - 2013-01-10 Cheers Davilla, appreciate it! |
