RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - Scott R - 2014-04-26 (2014-04-25, 21:27)Dixon Butz Wrote: This will be my next XBMC box:Off-topic here, but I don't see anything super-compelling about that one. No claims of VC-1 support, and I'm guessing it doesn't do 24Hz either. So 3x the price of a Fire TV for 4k video support with no 4k source material to play? Back on topic...regarding the claims of complexity in sideloading XBMC onto the Fire TV...as a newbie to Android, the Wiki was good for pointing me to the right place to get ADB downloaded, but I suppose it could have dumbed it down a bit more for me in terms of telling me that I needed to start up a Terminal window (I'm on OS X). Having to deal with a terminal window at all is what I'd say makes the whole process a bit tricky/difficult. Of course, it isn't really that difficult, but in today's day and age it would seem like there would be a simple file directory / FTP-style GUI tool tool that we could quickly install, point to the Fire TV (just need to know the IP address) and then easily move the apk file over, along with other files. Does no such app exist?

So any of my 720p mkvs that play on the 4/25 nightlie are fine for the first 10 minites and after that no video and green bars display at the top. Is there a better build I should be using or is this pretty much just a known issue at the moment with no current workaround? Thx guys Xbmc addons, and alwayzbless in your own question you awnser it.. use spmc I don't get those issues using it RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - Goldyflix - 2014-04-26 is there a way I can push a whole directory into the firetv xbmc?

Yes, the command should be Code: adb push directory/. /sdcard/directory/ RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - underworld123 - 2014-04-26 What is the ideal setting when XBMC is idle? I have currently set it to quit after 20 min, so that it does not keep running overnight, but wondering if there is a better setup.

Everything loaded up properly with Gotham beta 4, but I was experiencing some random xbmc crashes, so I decided to move to the nightlies. I installed the 04/19 nightly and no recorded tv would play at first. I went into acceleration and played around a little bit and found out that ligstagefright being enabled was causing recorded tv and live tv not to play. So I disabled libstage and mediacodec and saw too much aliasing (software decoding may be too much for the CPU?). I then switched back to hw accel and went through all of the combinations (there are only four available I believe) and found out that with this version mediacodec works, and works great. The only issue that I have seen once or twice is a crash after playing multiple shows. This has only happened twice and I can't really explain it. Just instead of the video kicking off it booted me out to the AFTV application list with xbmc highlighted. I know these are betas, so I kind of expect some of the crashes. Oh one other thing that I have noticed is that while system menus show up at full screen 1920 X 1080 all of my main menu backdrops and all of my videos are playing with black bars at the bottom.

I have not encountered those issues with spmc) I have seen those issues, blank screen and green blotches at the top, on three different FTVs running SPMC. I noticed if you turn off hardware acceleration the issue goes away. I've also seen this in Gotham. RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - Scenebean - 2014-04-27 I hate to ask this again if it has already been asked but i cannot find a good answer. What is the best way to get acestream installed and how do I install it or where do I get the apk? Also how do I watch acestreams from within XBMC? I only have XBMC side loaded on my fire tv.
