I was able to install XBMC 13.1 and FiredTV on AFTV using the adbFire application without issue.
Everything is fine so far except one issue.
On playing a video from one of the add-ons, the video becomes black after a few minutes but audio remains.
Copy protection of some sort?
The same video plays fine on the PC version of XBMC.
Does it mean the AFTV have some built in copy protection?
I recall that BLu-Ray players like Samsung have copy protection for Cinavia , so that when playing a file encoded with Cinavia, it goes stops video after 40 minutes or so. This was evident playing a file through Plex, but was not evident on devices with Plex that was not on a Blu-Ray player. People said that Blu-ray players were required to have this.
Thus, i was hoping that AFTV, not being a Blu-Ray player, would not have this issue.
