Got an audio sync issue on my setup with a mk808 stick connected with hdmi to my tv. This since i have to take analog audio from my tv to my reciever (no hdmi on that old fella). In this process I get a slight delay on audio which get out of sync with video.
In Xbmc i kan fix this by adding app 0,3 sec audio offset. Problem is it seems as if I have to do this every time I start a new film.

Or is there a way to have a default offset set somewhere in settings? Haven't found any.

XBMC beta1 for android (4.2 working; NEON-only)

As promised, here is a link to a stock XBMC for Android beta1, NEON-only, and working on Android 4.2.

By stock, I mean no patches and using a vanilla ndk. The only change is to use the gcc 4.4.3 toolchain in place of 4.6 one to circumvent the issue introduced by Android 4.2.

As an XBMC dev, I would also be happy that some non 4.2 users try this one, that I can know whether using 4.4.3 as adverse effects.

Works for me on an Asus TF300t with CM10 nightly 17/11/2012.
Is there an alternative program to XBMC remote for Android? Or a Beta for a new version. It seems that the current versin only works as remote, but can not connect to be used to see albums, thumbnails, etc.... :(
Great to see, that the XBMC for Android is moving forward. I also played some ISO's ripped from some of my DVD's and they played fine in 720p. Hope there will be HW support for various plattforms soon, as it would be great to have a fix installed Mediaplayer with low power consumption behind my TV

Cheers :)

Was going nuts with the lack of network media playback, especially with the new mount-restrictions.

I've uploaded a copy of Koying's stock XBMC for Android beta1 (NEON-only) here: http://www.4shared.com/android/ZzEGLRHn/xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-beta.html (This one requires registration (free) but should be fast and stay for a long time)

and here: http://wikisend.com/download/143632/xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-beta1.apk (Link is only valid for 7 days but no registration required)

and here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/h0spko (Not sure of terms or how long this link will work, but no registration)

Hope it works out...

A big thanks to Koying for making this package and to kemonine96 for the nightlies :)

Thanks a bunch for this. I'll be looking to build the nightlies using the older GCC shortly. Is this an issue with the NDK, gcc or something else with 4.2?

Thank you much; I'm pulling it now and will work on getting it added to the main google code and box mirrors tonight. Links will go in the OP tomorrow but as soon as they are uploaded they can be found on the mirrors. (They will finish downloading while I'm asleep given my lackluster upload speeds)

I have tried with the "press-and-keep-pressed-mouse-button" on my AirMouse keyboard to get the menu with delete option - doesn't work ! BTW, it works on some Android APK installs, so the problem is not into the keyboard, but the app XBMC is waiting, probably, only for a screen press ?????
Just to repete for people who didn't read my previous post - I want to delete files / saved inputs from the list, and I do not see any delete button, and I cannot use the "press-and-keep-pressed-mouse-button" to get the drop-down list menu !

Does anybody aware if this is the problem, and if it could be bypassed/repaired for othe type of units ??

I have the same problem on my Nexus 7, if you are running the new nexus 4 then perhaps they just dont support our hardware yet.
Same installation works fine on my Samsung Galaxy SIII which i assume does not have the same graphics capabilities.

Weird, it runs just fine on my Nexus 7, everything is smooth except 1080 material.... The material I play is streamed though, not using the local filesystem....

Sorry about the 4.2 apk dead link. Here is another one if needed: http://www.semperpax.be/owncloud/pu...ile=/xbmc/xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-beta1.apk

Hard to tell. It has to do with a missing symbol on 4.2 only. It looks this symbol has explicitly stopped being exported from libc.so as of 4.2, so I guess it is the NDK lagging behind...

    There are official releases for neon and ICS+ devices over on xbmc.org.

    For Tegra2 / GB devices I'm likely not going to be working on them much, if at all going forward. I no longer have a Tegra2 or GB device and version 13 of the upstream code base has some changes that will make it very difficult to support the Tegra2 going forward.

    Thank you to staticaDK, repvik, lavero.burgos, and XBMC Android for their help with mirroring.

    staticaDK has suffered equipment failure and his mirror is down. Any links / bookmarks to his mirror will no longer work. Please DO NOT use old links to this mirror

    The xbmchub.com guys are launching http://www.xbmcandroid.com/. The forums are open for registration for anyone that is interested.

    We also have a FreeNode channel #xbmcandroid for those that are interested.

    I have also broken out a lot of the information from this XDA thread as separate threads on xbmcandroid.com


    Please note these are unofficial builds of XBMC, please report issues here or xbmcandroid.com ONLY

    Builds are now auto-run every Sunday (through out the day). I will no longer be directly linking to the builds, please head over to the mirrors (links below) to download a given build.

    XBMC, What is That?
    XBMC is a media player / HTPC software package that does just about anything you'd want on a home theater box or a portable media device. See http://www.xbmc.org for more information.

    Why Here?
    I have been maintaining nightly builds of XBMC for Android and after a few requests and realizing my posts have been cross-linked it's time to create a central spot for the builds.

    Schedule of Builds
    Builds are now run automatically every Sunday.

    What Is Special About These Builds?
    I have re-built the CrystaX NDK that is required for XBMC from sources and made some compiler flag changes in order to improve NEON device support and to support the Tegra2 or other non-NEON devices. These are unsupported changes, particularly the Tegra2 and any other device without NEON. The official XBMC stance is NO device lacking NEON will receive support.

    What Is / Is Not Supported
    All builds are now built for 2.3.x (GingerBread) or higher devices. ARM ONLY. I will not be releasing MIPS or x86 builds.

    Google TV devices are UNSUPPORTED. I do not know if / when the XBMC dev's will be supporting Google TV.

    I will not be releasing aplayer builds. I will be leaving it up to Pivos to do releases. Please visit the Pivos forums for the latest builds with AMLogic hardware decode support.

    Which Build Do I Want?
    There are two builds, one for Tegra2 devices and another for NEON devices (see below for specifics). If you are not sure which type of device you have, try the NEON build and if it crashes, then use the Tegra2 build. If you have a non-NEON devices that is not the Tegra2, the Tegra2 build will run, but not all that great.

    XBMC Compatibility List (Clickable link)

    FAQ
    • Why is the APK so large?
      This is a full build of XBMC including dependencies, resources and the like. There is a lot to the build and output. See http://pastebin.com/LgnWzdHW for a breakdown of what is contained within the APK including file sizes.
    • Does zipalign help with the size of the apk?
      I ran zipalign and it didn't reduce the file size, likely won't help given what is packed in the apk.
    • Is there a better skin for touch screens?
      Under the appearance settings there is a skin named "Touched" that works much better on touch screen devices than the default.
    • Does my hdmi out / dock / etc work for tv playback?
      There are reports of this working properly in this thread and others.
    • Can I change the resolution for hdmi / similar playback?
      Initial reports indicate this is not possible currently.
    • Does it work with CyanogenMod 10 (CM10)?
      Maybe. Some users have reported success with CM10, others have had issues.
    • How do I get Fahrenheit Temperature?
      Settings > System > International -> Change your region to USA if you want Fahrenheit

    Common Problems
    1. My screen starts flickering / freaking out: Kill the app, clear the app cache, restart devices, try again. Continue until the problem goes away.
    2. I cannot play SD / 720p / 1080p content without stutters / dropped frames / audio sync issues / etc: Tough luck. Right now hardware decode support isn't complete, if your CPU can't process the video in software, you're stuck for the time being. The XBMC devs are working on hardware decode support and it will be done in due time. Do not ask for a deadline, there isn't one right now.
    3. Battery life: Expect a pretty bad battery drain. This has been confirmed by a few others as well as the devices I tested. Given the project is targeting set-top boxes and similar equipment I would not expect this to be addressed until other, larger items are taken care of. Please do not complain to the official team about this item, complain here.
    4. Resource utilization is high: This is known. Not going to change for awhile, do not complain to the official team, complain here.
    5. Audio does not work: The XBMC audio levels and Android audio levels are not the same, you will need to adjust the volume in Android up to a higher level before launching XBMC most likely.
    6. DVD Navigation may or may not work properly: This is known and being worked on by the main XBMC team.
    7. /data is inaccessible: This partition is not accessible from XBMC.
    8. Touchscreen Non-Responsive: Some users have reported the touchscreen taps aren't registering well or at all. The Toshiba Thrive 7" and 10" tablets seem to suffer the worst from this.

    Tegra2 / non-NEON Problems (Must Read)
    If your device does not have NEON, DO NOT COMPLAIN TO XBMC. Complain here.

    XBMC beta1 for android (4.2 working; NEON-only)

    As promised, here is a link to a stock XBMC for Android beta1, NEON-only, and working on Android 4.2.

    By stock, I mean no patches and using a vanilla ndk. The only change is to use the gcc 4.4.3 toolchain in place of 4.6 one to circumvent the issue introduced by Android 4.2.

    As an XBMC dev, I would also be happy that some non 4.2 users try this one, that I can know whether using 4.4.3 as adverse effects.

    New build of vanilla XBMC for Tegra 2 is up on the mirrors. The build is the 12.2 Frodo release and should run pretty stable overall. I've been working a little on resuming the weekly builds, but at this time I'm fighting a number of underlying changes.

    The new build is xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-2013-05-14-no-neon-378f4cde88cfd777b7eeaba8846ebd5a15c79ef4.apk

    @nbnion: Thank you very much for reporting this. I have tracked down the problem -- a failure that wasn't being reported by Jenkins. I have cleared up the issue and have kicked of new builds (see below for order). I'll be investigating a way to prevent this from happening in the future soon as well. Feel free to ping me in the future if there is >10 days between files posted to the mirrors.

    Files should start showing up on mirrors "soon". Each build takes 1-2 hours to finish completely.

    Builds are being run in the following order
    1. NEON
    2. NEON - XAF - Set Top
    3. NEON - XAF - Touch
    4. Non-NEON
    5. Non-NEON - XAF - Touch
