make the rockchip users happy too not just the ouya users with a stable 12.3 frodo release with libstagefright
i have tried the ouya build on my rockchip device but i noticed stuttering after playing HD video for a while like 15 minutes or so like the other users reported
i have found that the february releases 02/02 and 02/19 with libstagefright that were here before you delete the links were most stable to me with minimum crashing
and what is going with the mouse scrolling support in xbmc
ever thought of making it work ?
using rk3066 device

You can enable/disable each one in the "Video-Playback" settings (if the those settings do not show, please adjust the settings level) and report in the proper thread.
On the GK802 subject, I don't have one so I have no idea.
I installed alpha9 on my nexus 7 FHD 2013. Stuttering playback. Same for nightlies. After a bit of digging I saw this post and disabled the MediaCodec. Everything is working fine again. Both MediaCodec and libstagefright were enabled by default.
Shouldn't there be a check that says: Hey, you're on a nexus 7 and need libstagefright, let's disable the MediaCodec for you.

XBMC never and shouldn't do this. It's up to user to figure what works best for their device. Even with the same device , different firmware would make some config goes weird.

There is no LSF h/w accel in the Nov 6th nightly only mediacodec any reason why this is so?

STF is not (yet?) compatible with KitKat, so is disabled on 4.4 devices.

Steve Jobs would flog you for this thinking. Applications should do as much for the user as possible. 90% of the users out there are not software guru's or even like rolling up their sleeves to dig through a few setup screens.

Welcome to Android. Where Steve Jobs policy hasn't applied.

There are a zillion android devices, we have 2.5 droid devs and zero income.
See the difference?
If you want perfect user experience, I'd advice you to use iBMC, then.
Oh, wait...

Koying, how is that 60min framedrop bugfix goes?
RE: Support Thread for libstagefright - Experimental hardware video decoding builds - Koying - 2013-11-16
Just PR'ed
Needs validation from davilla for some non-stf code, then it goes.

Koying,
Once again that you for your reply and helping this thick Welshman out, If I'd checked my other tabs then I would see that LibStFr is still supported on gotham nightlies >>>>>given self a good kicking<<<<<, ibmc

Ha ha ha...funny...I'm no fan of Apple and I'm actually a hobby weekend programmer for Android, but I still beleive software needs to do as much for the user as possible. Still I don't want to detract from the hard work you guys have put in on developing the GPU decoding on Android, it is much appreciated!

cool, the 60min bugfix! Could you elaborate on the root cause? Is there a github link to it?

I have tested the new nightly build xbmc-20131116-f8b9117-master-armeabi-v7a.apk for arm and can't play a movie. The movies stuttert when i start the movie or the movie are on the head and stuttert.
