XIOS PIVOS vs ATV2

Not a fan of the XIOS hardware ATM, I'll wait for OUYA. They'll also be more likely to have legit Netflix, Hulu, Pandora and Spotify apps. My Optiplex 755's will tide me over.

Thanks. More importantly is it software we can change? Is the support lacking in drivers, kernel, xbmc? Why not add it as a resolution option? That does not help with automatic resolution changing and it would make the GUI sluggish but at least it would be something.

When I finally get a new laptop I will check out the source. Will pivos Linux build make it back into mainline?

I'd be very surprised if there was anything that Ouya could do that XIOS DS couldn't when it comes to XBMC. I would even bet that XIOS DS would work better. Granted, XBMC for Android in general is still in development and the Ouya does not physically exist yet. I can't see the specs listed for Ouya making a significant difference.

As for Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, and Spotify, both boxes are 100% legit in their access to these services. Both boxes will simply be using the same version of these apps from the Google Play store.

Hi!

I have an HTC One X (NVidia Tegra 3 version) and it seems like I can run XBMC.on it, so I thought... If I buy the HTC media link HD would I be able to use XBMC to stream movies from my mobile to my TV? Would XBMC be able to stream videos from my Synology NAS to the TV? Also since XBMC can handle AirPlay, would I be able to stream movies from my iPad to XBMC in my phone and see it on my TV through the media link HD?

What do you think?

I think that you would need to wait for XBMC for Android to be further into development before anyone is able to answer such questions.

I would not have said software if source was not present You will need to adapt hdmi driver to handle 24 fps, once you do this and remove the clamps in XBMC source code, 24 fps should appear.

hello,
since atv2 are more an more expensive, i'm looking for a second product to run xbmc (i already have an atv2), so i want give a try to an Android tv box, but i have a question, i have read there is difference beteween the ISO database and Android database, so my question is : i use a mysql database on a pc to run Xbmc on my Atv2, can i make my futur Android box point to this mysql database on the pc, and have my atv2 and Android Database sync ??

thx for the good work and Xbmc 4 ever !!
best regards
Chris

Yes, but your ATV2 will have to use a development build in order to sync with the Android build.

Ok thx for the infos ! i'll buy an android tv box and will give a try..
take care
Chris

Just a think.. when i'll install the development build on atv 2 from my actual version (eden 11) my actual database will be automatic converted ? or i must start from scratch ?
