Playback just isn't smooth, it doesn't show that its dropping any frames, but it looks like there is one missing every few seconds.
Should a 24hz movie play smooth?
Its something you would only see when there is scrolling action on screen.
Easy to see on a intro to a movie, when you look at the shot of the globe rotating and zooming out. Looks like it skips a frame here and there.
Android devices such as the Fire TV are locked at 60kHz so any 24p or 50kHz content will likely exhibit such behavior.

I believe we should start posting the exact nightlies file names on what is installed. I have a version of Gotham and don't seem to have any audio sync problems by 0.25 seconds. I did try to play around but it seems to be ok with regular playing.
now I use the audio passthrough to the bose lifestyle to get 5.1 or dts.
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - D3w4yne - 2014-05-10
I enabled Media Codec and de-interlacing options are available and working. I haven't had issues playing live TV or a couple of bluray backups (m2ts). I haven't tried everything yet, but so far so good.
Thanks for sharing.

I also tried pairing a Wii U pro controller with FTV. It recognized it and found it, but wouldn't pair it successfully.

thanks hdmkv. will give that a go

Running Gotham official now and i was able to turn both mediacodec and libstage acceleration on with no adverse affects. Seems all is good, maybe someone can update the wiki
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - GTV17 - 2014-05-11
is anyone else experiencing xbmc crashing while using video add-ons? it's a ton of different things causing it to crash and it's so frustrating.

Depends on the content. Libstagefright causes some streams to display with audio only. I mainly experience it using the JTV plugin.

With HD content as well? For me, the MediaCodec issues were most prevalent in 720p & 1080p x264 MKVs.

Same here, it was I hadn't tried enabling it since around the 4-19 nightly, but I can confirm that for me those issues are now gone, tested high bitrate 1080p mkv files and everything is working on my end, can't see any difference with running either one separately now, what is the difference between the two options and is it OK to run with both enabled?
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - ixian - 2014-05-11
Though XBMC sees the Amazon Prime video as an "app" in Programs I assume the reason it doesn't launch is because it's not technically a separate app but simply built in to the KFTV launcher, correct? I know I can always exit XBMC but it'd be nice to launch as an app like Netflix inside XBMC itself.

Worked fine for me with 1080p m2ts and mkv. I updated the wiki for Gotham.

Good news everyone!
I would like to know as well what the effect is of both options. I could find some old threats about them but no actual info on the wiki (both FTV nor the general xbmc). Would anyone be able to provide a short description?
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - LRa - 2014-05-11

still no dice but that may be because llama event kicked in before i had a chance to install . (was bit surprised to find that uninstall removed all of the user data etc but maybe not a bad thing. just need to get my head round the xbmc backup utility then.)
rather than try this again i'm going to give the keyboard editor add-on a go and i'll report back just in case anyone else is having trouble getting custom keymap to work
