good news is the firmware of A6 has dts decode license (no shuttering, no noise)
but strange that i compared the firmware section of both rom, they r exactly the same. We can't get dts decoding support by replacing certain file
where is this mythical firmware ?
it's multiple languages but by default the GUI is in chinese
As a note if you decide to flash this, there is no "Back, Home, Resent apps" on the bottom bar which is painful as even with the remote that comes with it is not really doing this job right.. I find I use the mouse more then anything so having these at the bottom is handy..
Anyway, I got a feeling its only going to be an edit of a system file and we should be able to get them back working..
As I am using team EOS 4 on the TF101, with their nice way of having separate EOS ability to edit the size, position of these buttons in question..
Is is feasible for me to grab the EOS apk and move it into this Rom an see if it works?
I am also thinking that something like LMK might be able to work too, but would have to be worked via mouse inputs not touch..
I have tried this edit but it is not working for me..

the line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
you get the navigation bar (after reboot) and at the same time Android system recognizes this and adds the three dot menu icon whenever needed*!

RE: Geniatech ATV1200 and XBMC hardware decoding - LRa - 2013-03-12
Two quick questions:
1. Can the atv1200 play 1080p flawlessly with its stock player?
2. Is it worth buying the atv1200 now knowing that xbmc will work on it in the near future, or wait for something sure?
Thanks

Yes and Yes

I've got my ATV1200 today. Happy with brief testing, all according to very helpful people from this thread. The only issue I have is FLASH. Catchup sites are not working properly. Some of them have screwed size (Australian ABC iView for example is somehow zoomed to the not-usable size). Some just do not play with various errors. I know that Android has issues with DRM and rights protection but the same shows work fine on my Asus tablet and Google Nexus. And there is no size issues on these devices either. I've tried to reinstall Flash but ATV1200 rejecting the app because of different app signature. Can anybody please help with making Flash usable on this device?

What should help is to install the latest firmware on your ATV1200. Use a sdcard to put the firmware on, then install it and try Flash again. I hope this will solve the problem.

Geniatech - do you provide source for your device....we give everyone else a rough time about GPL - can't see why your side shouldn't comply and I see no XBMC members asking for this information but giving others a very hard time from the Chinese market. Do you provide a link to your GPL material and additions or are you following suit like all other companies as I have emailed countless times with no response? If it can be linked that would be great or PM'd . thanks - a thoughtfully happy customer.

Hi Geniatech
Thank you for the response but the first thing I did was to upgrade the firmware. It was done over the internet and prompted by the device itself. Its very easy to reproduce the issue just go to the ABC Iview. The only thing worth mentioning is that I am on 1080p res. I changed it during initial setup.

Here is the latest XBMC for Geniatech boxes, perhaps you can try it to see the problems are still there or not. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ojmb76oaqr24wrb/xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20130223.apk
RE: Geniatech ATV1200 and XBMC hardware decoding - theINSKIP - 2013-03-14
I think the ethernet drop outs are ATV1200 firmware based, not xbmc firmware based ?

I checked your file and didn't experience any problems concerning color changes. About the problems getting fixed in the next release I cannot be certain about this, because i have no further info for that.

Just seen this from another site:

Looks like there is a new firmware incoming for the ATV1200
