I've tried to play 1080p movies (stream ) without success , it start fine but 2 seconds later fps fall to 9fps , these same movies play fine using BeyondXBMC , why ?
All other 720p movies play fine on both xbmc gotham and BeyondXBMC
Is there a trick ? maybe cache relocation ?
thanks for your hard work .
best regards

No kidding, since beyond xbmc 3.3 is working just fine even with 1080 content

Go into XBMC -> Settings -> Video -> Acceleration -> and disable "MediaCodec".

I have tried every combo of settings for HW acceleration in Gotham on my Mk888B Quad RK unit with zero success however 1080 does stream flawless in BeyondXBMC.
Might be a good idea to look a little deeper into the coding in BXbmc to see what they have done to make Rockchip devices perform so well under that build.
Most rockchips devices don't have these issues.
"BeyondXBMC" is nothing more than XBMC v12 (SPMC, specifically) with hardware video decoding added (libstagefright) + some other minor adjustments. "looking into it" doesn't tell us anything more than what we already know. You need to give details about what is happening, about what you've tried and what happens each time. Give
debug logs (wiki). I guarantee you that saying "look at what BeyondXBMC does" will get zero attention from the XBMC developers. There is nothing there that can help us.
If you would like to help us troubleshoot and correct what is wrong when using actual official builds of XBMC, then please provide more information.

Playing Devils Advocate here, Ned is asking both of you for more information about your problem including logs when your problem/bug crops up. He asked you to disable MediaCodec and you reply you've tried all combo's and nothing work's for you and then he asks for logs so the Developers can look into what is going wrong and to forget about Beyond XBMC build on this forum and yet instead of supplying logs you go on about the BY XBMC build yet again which as stated does this bug or you any good at all.
So if you are happy using that build so be it use it and forget about xbmc gotham but if you really want to use xbmc gotham please supply logs et al.
