Hi All

Just pre-ordered one this weekend, but now reading some comments about it not offering MKV playback - is there any truth in this, or was it an earlier build?

MKV playback works fine via XBMC.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Hi all,

I just ordered one of these from Amazon UK. 2 questions:

1) Is there a particular firmware version that doesn't like XBMC?
2) Should I be looking to sideload XBMC or SPMC? Or is there no choice?

I'd suggest SPMC 13.3.3, but there's 13.3.4 expected that's expected to resolve a few playback issues.

Once the new version is out, you can do an upgrade (vs. uninstall old and reinstall new) via adb command:

Code:
adb install -r spmc-armeabi-restoffilenamehere.apk

I never got an answer as to what SPMC offers over XMBC?

The differences are listed here: http://spmc.semperpax.com

Basically, it's a v13-based build with additional fixes. Some of those fixes are in v14, and some are still waiting for one reason or another, such as testing, tweaking the code, etc, or they are only a short term fix. There is more caution taken with the official XBMC/Kodi builds because it runs on so many different OSes and hardware, but since SPMC is only on Android then things are pretty stable.

Which of these links is best to get SPMC on an AFTV out of the box? Any merit in doing i from amazon app store?

thanks
