Normaly I'm not the first to try to make such things work. So I searched this Forum for CloudnetGo and Found... nothing. SO there are two possibilities:

1. I searched the wrong thing.... In this case please tell me what to search instead.

2. There isn't anything about the CloudnetGo CR9 / CR9s till now. In this case I'm asking if anybody tried it allready with a current version of XBMC and can tell me whats workin and what's not.

The Core things I need working are:

Fluent Interface (I think there will be no prob due to Quad Core)
1080p playback....
DTS Sound via HDMI 4 my Denon.
Maybe a guide or link to a guide to remove the bottom bar so it looks like a real HTPC ^^. edit: Found Answer here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_for_Android under 2.3.

So thats it 4 now. I hope to find someone or a few chosen one who also had their eyes on this device to share knowledge about it.

Rockchip based which means bugs in libstagefright unless those have been fixed.

If your looking for a stick that Gamestick device might be the one, it's Amlogic based and supported by Pivos who develop the Amlogic branch of XBMC which is the most stable version. Should also have DTS audio pass-through though you might want to confirm with gamestick guys.

You can buy generic Amlogic sticks out there but you are on your own and they aren't official supported by Pivos.

If your looking for something that simply runs XBMC the best I'd wait a bit more, Amlogic have announced quad core M8 chips with the newer Mali 6xx generation GPU.

Ok,

first of all thank you for your answer.


So I read a little bit about libstagefright and the bugs wich are there. But there was 1 thing I didn't really found. How far are we from a working solution?

I'm asking becaus GameStick isn't adv. in Germany right now. Currently I'm just looking 4 that AMLogic device. Maybe this one is a burner.

Or take the Mygica ATV120. Dualcore Amlogic too.
