Davilla..
Generally on windows, I've been using xbmc primarily for addons. Especially the 3rd party repositories like AJ or ICEfilms. In the teaser video, I didn't see any menu options of addons under videos. (looks like video has been renamed to movies).
Does XBMC running on Xios DS support 3rd party repo addons. And since most of these video streams are SD and some are 720P HD, would that work smoothly as it works on other platforms?
Thanks

From what I've read it seems that the XIOS will not have 5.1 DTS due to android kernel. Can I assume that we will not see 5.1 audio for quite a while?

Wrong assumption. AC3 passthough works, DTS does too but it's held up in licensing right now.

Do you mean that AC3 passthrough works for XBMC on the current build for the XIOS? Or do you mean that the XIOS supports passthrough on Android? If so does that apply to GB or ICS?
BTW can't wait to have XBMC on a cheap streaming player.. you guys are doing a wonderful job!

Looking for some help with the xios Ds. Got it yesterday, immediately upgraded to ics. The pink light with the exclamation is constantly lit. Xbmc runs super slow. Tried the hwa version and I couldn't even play an SD avi file. So I decided to go back to GB. Pink light is gone but now the red light for the power is constantly lit and xbmc is still super slow, even navigating the menus is a chore. I can't really seem to find any info to help my problem. I'm not sure if its hardware or if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks for any help

This new version works better but I still get lagging on 1080p video streaming from the network. I can't wait for the official beta's! What is the timeline for getting ac3 and dd passthrough working? I need to have this last piece before I can replace my htpc with the pivos xios.

Getting ac3 and dts passthrough working is high on the list but there are several things in front of it, most notable being dts licensing. I'm sure that most will agree that have proper licenses for audio/video decode is very important regardless of what you believe about patents. The reality is no license, no decode for a commercial product.
