Unfortunatly no due to lack of NEON (SIMD) in hardware.

Just like i imagine. Good luck with the new app.

Also looking to ditch my ATV2, hoping that a decent Android replacement will come sooner rather than later. Will all/most skins run on the Android or do they need to be tweaked/adapted, hoping to be able to finally run Nox or Cirrus Vintage

No adaption needed. Only thing that matters is enough CPU power. Same as for the ATV2

Why does only CPU power matter for smooth GUI? Are the mobile GPUs already Powerful enough and only limited by CPU?

@CK1one, something has to a) read pretty image from disk, b) decompress it, c) upload as texture and then GPU takes over. Rinse/repeat for each and every image you see in the GUI.

I have tried one of the apk's floating around on my RK3066 Cortex-A9, 1GB, 32GB, 10.1" tablet. It's really impressive! I've added items to the library and connected to my TV using the HDMI. The only issue I found was a problem when playing XVID files (have tested them in other players) however since this is still in development it doesn't really matter Smile

Great work and thank you.

@Piers, which tablet is that exactly? Cube U30GT?

Thanks.

@davilla,

Do you know if there are any tablets that work with the amlplayer? I'm looking for an in-car media solution that would use 2 Andriod tablets with XBMC (for the kids) and be controlled by XBMC Remote by a grown up. I'm currently looking at doing it with iPad 2s but everyday I'm moving more and more towards Android based products.

Thanks.
