XBMC Tegra2 Build

kemonine96 · Jul 27, 2012

I managed to get a build of XBMC working on Tegra2's including the A500.This only works for SD content currently and hardware decoder support will be necessary to get 720p and 1080p support.

Please note the Tegra2 is an unsupported platform currently.

DO NOT post builds to VANILLA builds. They WILL NOT run on Tegra2 devices.

Common Problems:
If you receive a flickering screen after the update, clear the application cache and reboot the device. This may need to be done more than once.

Found it cool let me know if I can help in any way cheers wondering is audio choppy on your a100? Audio is choppy and video tends to get out of sync and a bit of stutter even on sd video. On the plus side the touched skin works well with this build

Awesome! Awesome!

Works like a charm on my A500. Installed some plugins and my fav NAVI-X. Its 3am and I need some sleep. So I will continue to play around with it over the next day or so.
XBMC on Android takes it to the next level on tablets

One thing I did notice was the volume level seems to be in the low side even after I cranked everything up.

I found the volume very low until I maxed it out and then went into XBMC. IIRC the XBMC volume is independent of the device volume. The xbmc volume also has a large number of levels, I find it easier to adjust the volume within the app by holding down volume up / down.

I have had good and bad success with SD content depending on container format, movement and other factors that tend to pop up with video encoding. 720p is close, it looks like the Tegra2 devices will need hardware decode support for 720p or 1080p based on the framerates I was seeing.

Can not run on WDS jellybean(CM10) ROM. It installed fine, but once started the application, screen flickered continuously.

Anyway, thanks for posting.

I had this issue myself at one point. I cleared the application cache and relaunched to fix the issue. Another user reported a similar problem that was resolved after rebooting the device.

Thank, I've gotten it to work. No more flickering of the screen, but now I can not seem to access my music and video from external SDcard. Do I need to copy my music and video to internal SDcard?

Thank again,

Thank again,

You need to add a source. When it pops up you will want to select "root filesystem" instead of "sdcard". This will let you navigate to the external sd card mount point. Usually somewhere under /mnt. In my case it is /mnt/external_sd on CyanogenMod.

Kinda works on my toshiba thrive have to tap a cupple times to get stuff to work

At the risk of sounding the fool, does anyone here know how to:

A.) Change the time zone. It says it's 1:47 AM tomorrow on my a500.
B.) Change the weather from celsius to farenheit? Here in the US, C is weird. I see 28 degrees & expect to need my snow shovel.

Thanks!

I believe these options are somewhere under the settings pages. The XBMC wiki has pretty good information on how to adjust the various settings.

Are you using the default skin or the touch optimized skin? The touch optimized skin does a better job than the default. However, they are still working out some quirks with touch.

Nice work

working on my Asus Transformer TF101

Anyone got this working on xoom. It starts up. Then crashes

Visegrad · Jul 28, 2012

This is an awesome start for this on the A500. If and when this works fast and efficiently on my tab, it will replace a lot of different apps I use to do the job that just this one can do

For now, I will just keep tweaking it as best I can and see where I can go with it. Thanks to the folks working to make XBMC on the A500 a possibility.
