The Official OMG, XBMC on Android thread.

Oh, so many questions about advanced capabilities on something that's barely out there...

I've got a steam-powered Android 1.6 rotary telephone with CGA graphics (hand-drawn by leprechauns), will it run on that? :-)

don't quote me on this but we would probably rather you didn't because as jmarshall says here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1147147

Quote:We're not providing APKs for those that can't build as yet - we want to focus on getting issues fixed over the next few weeks while prepping for a merge to master.

The purpose of opening it up is to get other devs eyes on it so we can make sure it'll work on as many devices as possible before we push out APKs.

I used the 0.10.1 and renamed as 0.10
Edit : thanks Anssi! That did the trick. I now saw the message that dependencies built successfully

So is it ok if we go and order our PIVOS XIOS as it is now listed as an official XBMC sponsor or we should wait for OUYA ? or we should use our Atv's and still wait ?

Amazing thank you XBMC team for this. I have an Aml8726 and A10 to play with so this is going to rock.

If you run out and buy anything based on this news post all I can do is call you crazy, you would need too wait at least a couple of months to see what sort of hardware is good

Ah I see, I had the APK in my post but have now removed it.

I will try to download the tarball manually from another location and put it in the tarball dir. Don't know if it's as easy as that?

I changed the BASE_URL in tools/android/depends/libzip/Makefile as follows:


I've created a pull request to the repo to update the base url to a mirror.

Fantastic news! All a bit beyond me thou so I'll have to wait for apk's - the F5 key will be getting a bashing over the coming weeks! :-)

You can call me crazy when it comes to xbmc as I already pledged to Ouya and one of the only reasons is to have xbmc on it !
I cant count the number of xbmc devices on my home now and I love it since the first days of xbmc for xbox1 you cant believe how my 5 year old son scroll through libraries and find his animation series or movies or even play music for me ....

so huge thanks to all xbmc team
