Hello everybody.
First of all, I'd like to mention that I already own iMito MX1 but I've never been able to watch 720p or 1080p files through XBMC.
All Rockchip devices have problems so far, so the safer way is AmLogic devices.
I have narrowed it down to these two: ATV1200 and Bluetimes MX5. Quite similar on specs.
I just finished reading the ATV1200 93-page thread and I am rather confused regarding the firmware and XBMC versions compination for flawless playback of 720p or 1080p sources. Most of the people are saying that geniatech fw is better than mygiga fw yet on this page they are all using mygiga fw.
In addition, no one has said something about the latest geniatech fw (the one with the retro launcher).
I have also noticed that there are three different versions of ATV1200. Mygiga, Geniatech and Sumvision.
Which one do you think is the safest choice?
On the other hand, even though the seller has sold about 1200 units of MX5 so far, I haven't found any single forum with information or user opinions and other stuff for this player. The only thing I know is that both units have almost the same hardware specifications. If any owner here, please share your experience.
I know that all android player have flaws and none of them would be perfect. Both above units are quite close to what I need.
Smooth 720p (90% of my files are 720p 5.1 but I wouldn't say no to 1080p) through XBMC (NAS, SMB, WEB) and 5.1 audio through optical or coaxial cable.
Please share your opinions.
Thank you!
P.S. I was about to forget my question . Is there a MAME addon so I can play my favourite games, like Tetris or Shadow Dancer, through XMBC?
