I am waiting for my Touch pro 2 to arrive cant wait. I am most excited to start using the Video out function. I was planning to watch movies on it streamed to my tv wiht the cable. I plan to put the movies on an SD card. I also was wonder ing the TV out cable works in the Ubuntu or Android programs people have put on this.
TVOUT does not work on Android or Ubuntu for the Rhodium. I would like to see it work but I do not think its important to the devs working on the Android project cause I have never seen it mentioned as something they are working on. it could be cause the cords are not worth what you pay for them, it could also be cause the TVOUT feature is not as good as it seems to be (Blue flicker with coreplayer) or its just not simple to port to the Android project. You really should ask this question in the "touch pro 2 android development tread" so maybe we can get someone working on it.
there is a blue flicker with the TV out on the feature with Coreplayer what about .avi's in with WMP? I will be using primarily .avi files.
I just ordered my phone so I have not tried it out yet.

WMP with TVOUT seems robotic but its watchable. the only way to play it smooth for me is with coreplayet using QTV as the video driver. the only way I have found around the blue flicker is to convert my videos to MP4 and size them to 480x320 and then when I play them I restart my phone and put the cable in before starting coreplayer.
I have seen this question a few times figured I would post it here .
If you would like to stream the media on your phone on your Xbox there is an app called Twonky Server and it works great. There is a free trial version to make sure if works.

Nice. Not going to lie, I think the one thing Motorola got right with the Droid X (besides build quality) was DLNA certification, sharing stuff with the xbox was so easy. I'm a bit surprised Vanilla Android doesn't include this...
That actually how I found this app in the first place. Liberty 1.5 didn't have it baked in so I used twonky
O!mediashare does this same thing for free without a trial.except I run into problems with some file types.apparently the xbox is very picky about what types of files it can play.unless it is something that has to do with the app itself.

Just installed the pre beta of XBMC on the N7! For a pre beta, this app is really polished. Some buggy touchscreen things on the main skin but the touch skin works awesome. I set up my smb share and it recognized and downloaded all the info for my movies and TV shows. Can't wait to see how this app turns out when its out of beta!
Might I ask where you got the apk from?
I don't suppose its the same as this one is it?
Just about to try that on my N7...

Tested on N7
Tried it out, and it did work with SMB shares right away. Always have loved XMBC on many of my home network devices (wife does too). The resolution needs some work and it would not landscape correctly but all other loved XBMC options were there and it looks really promising! Nice work to the Devs!
Thanks for the heads up, this is exactly what I needed!
Love it!
New to xbmc..
If I'm running xbmc w upnp enabled on my Linux computer, how can I access my videos through the network with this app? Or is there a better way to do this
merci pour le partage, J'ai le même souci.

You shouldn't need xbmc on another machine to get it to work on your android tablet, within xbmc video(or music and pictures), click on on add videos and the choose source and navigate(through SMB shares) to get to the share you want to add. This link will explain how to set it up: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Adding_videos_to_the_library/Adding_media_sources

xbmc is not a host/transcoder software. it plays media, it doesn't stream it to other devices. as another poster mentioned, you are accessing media directly from the smb shares.
OK thanks for your reply. I am relatively new to xbmc. I came from tversity due to the massively better library functionality of xbmc.

I tried the XBMC on the N7 and agree it works well! Going forward, I doubt I'll use this because if I want to watch movies, I just play them via my JB'd Apple TV2 running XBMC. I do however love using the XBMC Official Remote app on the N7. Makes browsing libraries so much easier.
Everything works for me. I, using the channel one repository but I'm only getting the video yo play in SD.. how do I gry HD playback?

Found my Windows share and scraper worked. Playback is smooth even with my big 1080p mkv files.
Impressed.

Can I ask how you got smooth playback? XBMC seems to be only working in software mode as my 720p files are very choppy in this yet smooth in BS Player.
Have anyone made hulu work on it?

Yes you can share videos from your laptop - You can use SMB shares on Windows by setting up a workgroup. Have a look at the XBMC forums as they have a lot of wiki pages with a lot of info.
I am looking for a cheap emulator box but primarily will Ouya as a replacement for my ATV1 streaming device.
I stream video from certain XBMC addons and was wondering if anyone can provide feedback from streaming video through XBMC on a Ouya?
Thank you.
So far (past week or so) my experience has been very impressive, I have been streaming my personal movie collection via local network) however for some reason (think I remember reading they screwed something up in their firmware update) the ouya crashes and hangs via ethernet, I was starting to get really peed off, read that, pulled the plug; all good!? DTS currently doesn't work (someone please correct and enlighten me if I'm wrong), which is a pain in the yaris, but is apparently "in the works", the ouya team seem like a bunch of active awesome people though, so I have full confidence they will work with the XBMC dudes fully to get that sorted! I was previously using a sumvision cyclone nano slim plus mk3 (1GB RAM version) with an adapted XBMC 12.0 version for the Pivos Xios (same beast essentially) which was flawless! I am yet to venture down the route of plugins though, so my response may be useless!)

I successfully use 1Channel / SportsDevil / TVcatchup / Twitch.tv on my two Ouyas. I've recently set up a Google Music addon that works great too.
This is both using the original sideloaded XBMC and the one available in the Discover menus.
I stream a lot of MP4s across my home network, thogh it seems to struggle a bit with XVids for some reason.
I use it to watch movies and shows from mashup, 1channel, sportsdevil, icefilms and few others. Everything works really well and I only have buffering when everyone in the house is using the WiFi. Even then its not bad. May happen once or twice a show if that.

im using stickmount to mount my 1tb hard drive. opening stream and xbmc plays the movie for about 10 mins (tried ninja turtles, frozen, and 22 jump street) and then just returns to the stream / xbmc torrent screen to select another movie. if i select the same movie or a different one, it will load, but then just crash the whole OS (reboot)
any fixes to this? or any alternatives ?
im using SPMC, latest version (kodi wouldnt work with this app)
I've posted a few reports for this in the past, I too would like an alternative for these addons.
As far as I know, both projects are dead.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/xbmc-torrents-aft-t2814886)
A speculation was made in the last post about a possible reason for the crash.
There is a new fork called Pulsar, no Android version available yet but I think they are working on it...
Ahh Thank you. It's a shame. This add-on works perfect on pc
