I have most of the things I need working but was wondering. Is there a way to use a set of Bluetooth Headphones/Headset on the Fire TV with XBMC running?
If I can get that to work, I am gonna sell all my Apple Tv's and buy some more Fire TV's
thanks for any help!!!

I just received my FTV yesterday and have XBMC (with launch hack) successfully installed.
However, I am getting very choppy playback on my Blu-ray rips in mkv and m2ts format.
These files are anywhere from 10GB to over 20GB in size.
I have already changed the all settings in 'Acceleration' with no success.
I have wired connection and my WD TV Live Plus was able to play these same files with no problem so I know my Internet service or my computer is not the problem.
Can anyone please suggest any more settings for me to change to play these files successfully?
I really love this player, but if I cannot play these files I will have to send it back.
Thanks in advance.

That's your userdata folder (within XBMC, it's referenced by the path special://profile).
Problem is have: it does not show me the ".xbmc" folder after I enter "files"
Im on elmerohueso's release with Ambers as skin.

How long does it take to get the email with the log?
I've used two different email addresses now and checked the spam folders, but still have not received anything.
It's been about 20 minutes already.

I don't know, I don't use the mailer. Just grab the log and post it on pastebin.

I see on the Wiki that it still says that VC-1 and MPEG-2 don't support hardware decoding. My findings quite a while back were that HD MPEG-2 (e.g., HDTV cable recordings) was still quite good (even if it was the CPU that was doing all of the work) but VC-1 (HD Blu-ray rips) was unwatchable. Was anyone able to do any magic to improve upon this, or is this still pretty much in the same state that it was early on?

VC-1 is still unwatchable. I'm read elsewhere that VC-1 may actually work as long as it's in a .ts container and not .mkv. My first FireTV went to my brother, awaiting the arrival of my own one to test with, I've got a couple of bluray rips that are VC-1 mkv's that I've converted to .ts and going to test. My gut feeling is it won't work, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
