A little feedback about exporting and importing library. The way I understand it :
When the library is exported it basically takes the images you got in userdata/Thumbnails ( ex : actors photos, movies thumbnail and fanarts ) and puts the images in your exported folder by organizing them in actors, movies, music videos and tv shows folders. It renames the thumbnails/fanart in the movies folder, by putting the name of the movie ( spaces are replaced with underscores ) followed by the date of the movie and then -fanart.jpg for the fanart images or simply .tbn for the thumbnails. I guess the same mechanism applies to the tv shows but I can't check that. I think renaming happens because when the library is imported it is used to match the movies ( whose names are in the videodb.xml ) to their thumbnail/fanart.
But on Android this is problematic. A lot of movies have a colon ( : ) in their title and Android doesn't support this in a filename. A simple workaround would be to replace the colons of the title by an authorized character when renaming the files, in the same way that spaces are replaced by underscores.

Just to confirm this as working on my HTC One X. Thanks so much!
I'm trying to SSH in to change the default audio player to DVDPlayer from Paplayer, but I haven't managed it. Can anyone help?

I see on the PIVOS web site that the AIOS supports the following audio outputs: DTS Digital Surround 5.1 and DTS-HD MA.
I see no mention of Audio Outputs supported on the XIOS which leads me to believe there are hardware limitations.

Before the audio capabilities questions get out of hand, let me just say there a current capabilities and future possible capabilities with respect to 'bitstreaming'. DD (AC3) is there but not enabled, DTS is being licensed. Also there is no hardware limitations that I can see.
So a) chill and wait and see or b) pass and look else where if you must have an answer today.

I'm glad they announced it, Im done looking for a Ras-Pi (for now) and my Pivos has arrived today and i've flashed it with ICS and ready to roll when the hardware APK is available
Finally a platform that looks like home, just remember the homes 3/4 built and there alot of work to be done. Luckily it's sounds like the team is close to an initial Hardware enabled APK and hopefully Pivos will settle the Dolby Licensing issues soon for us. Then all the speculation will stop and this platform can grow for years without the need for SoftModded Xboxs, ATV PatchSticks, IOS backdoors and Teathered booting (all BTW Spectacular work)
I'm "Chillin" too, Just excited as everyone else - You guys Rock!

Likely an easy fix, as we have the same limitation on Mac OS X.

I'm not sure how this works on various different android devices, but it seems that the userdata folder is more or less located in something like:
something/something/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/
Any ideas on a good way to phrase this for the XBMC wiki so that it makes sense to the end user trying to find it?
