I have a SGT 10.1 and installed v0.8.6-beta1 r768

Almost everything works, but I noticed a few things

1. Now playing crashes the remote
2. Album thumbs are sometimes small, sometimes large
3. When I go to TV Shows, the screen forces portrait mode and the banners go outside of the screen on the right side.

I will make a log dump from the crash tonight.

Intel Core i5

Zotac ZBOX HD ID40

I got my issue with TV show banners on the nook color fixed. Had to make sure the tablet was in portrait mode when i created the banners and it worked.

I installed it on my new Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it doesn't scale correctly. TV Show banners stretch off the side of the screen, the resolution on buttons isn't very good (somewhat pixelated).

Still needs some work. It crashes consistantly no my tab as well when downloading covers.

I'm also experiencing the scaling issue with the TV banners stretching off the right side of the screen on my TouchPad running CM7.1. Also the remote view is stretched and pixelated.

Hi, I'm in the market to pick up a tablet primarily for being an XBMC remote, running the android app. I have a couple of questions, would this tablet do:

Is there a better choice? ideally it would be also used for youtube, internet broswing etc so I don't want the worst, but I don't want to pay too much. Is the Nook color the best option?

Thanks

I wouldn't recommend buying a tablet with a resistive touch screen.

The XBMC Remote for Android requires you to scroll (through your movies, music, etc.) which is annoying if you have a resistive screen as you have to "press" it. If you don't press hard enough, you will have to repeat the action.

Please get one with a capacitive screen

i set up my mediacenter too the next time.

at this point have 2 tv´s and pay tv (sky)

in the new year i put up a small server with a tv-karte and set up my 2 tv´s with it.

i don´t want to have a big remote for it so i chose this one:
