hi hste
xbmc is clearly updated in this RFS.
Yet for CEC to work (if signal is wired on gk802), a new kernel driver is still required...
I will publish and send it to you as soon as I can
For now we can not expect cec to work even with this updated xbmc
Regards
Stephan

Hi
My software is able to use all the codecs you mention (except RV and AVS but only because I have not yet found the proper configuration I think...)
There is nothing to pay (as for Rpi) : The codecs are handled by the freescale VPU without specific activation required.
There might be bugs on my side (especially sometimes decoding seems to be buggy only because of pts issues while the stream is perfectly decoded)
I confirm I use VPU for MPEG-2 decoding
I am currently working on configuring properly hw motion filtering to have a perfect experience with interlaced video : My use case is obviously live tv (And it already works not so bad locally with my dvb-t tuner lol, still an annoying issue and other work which prevents to release immediately but it will happen and be just fine I hope lol )
Kind regards
Stephan

Hi hste, thanks for your installerscript, it makes my life a little bit easier. XBMC works very well, special thanks to wolfgar. But, pls explain how you connect to network? No network-manager add-on in this build. I tried to edit /etc/network/interfaces, but without success.
Second issue, XBMC freezes on exit.

Hi night guest
I use a usbdongle identified as dm9601. This one work without problems. I have also on identified as smsc75xx. This one have packetloss when using some addons in xbmc. You could try to comment out the upstart of xbmc in /etc/rc.local to see if you get net. I think there are some problems with the gk802 kernel when there is high load and some of the usbdongles.

Do the various i.MX6 SoCs with Linux support 24 and 50Hz refresh rates for HDMI as well as 60Hz?

You need to set the TZ variable for your timezone in your /etc/rc.local
