Does anybody know for sure if the Fire TV can output video at different refresh rates (i.e. 24p etc), or is it fixed at 60hz?

Nobody?

It is fixed. You can chose between 60 and 50 Hz. That's all. I tried to play in Allcast a DVD movie (25Hz) with 60 Hz with micro stuttering and on 50 Hz it was amazing to look at it. If you choose the automatic way then it will be also fixed, because the refresh rate of your TV/receiver will be checked and not the played movie.

That's a shame. I guess this rules out the FTV as the perfect XBMC / media player platform.

keep checking for updates, while i dont possess the knowledge to make it happen myself, Rob Clark has shown XBMC running on linux on the FTV.. its very possible that someone will compile somethingthat will work for us in the very near future now that we have the custom recovery from Rbox.

I know that this was posted in the news on the 18th but I just have to share it with everyone again. Its that good!!! Don't miss out
It runs a lot smoother than the stable build supplied to all android systems.
Update: test Jan 27th w/ HW acceleration is even more stable than the 21st release.

It's more stable for me than the alpha2 from 2013.04.03.
Hope we will get soon Hardware acceleration on standard version xbmc.

I use my N7 to control my htpc/xbmc. No interest in running xbmc on my N7. To me that's just overkill. With a file manager that supports SMB I can watch anything on my NAS within a few seconds. It would have made more sense for these guys to keep the xbmc app the same and simply allow you to play it on your android. I got a mini android PC and tried xbmc on it but an actual PC does a better job period.

I stream several movies not only my PC but my nexus7 as well. They even stream from navi x . to you it may not be worth it or make sense but when you want to watch a movie somewhere or you have a child that wants to watch something while you dip something it is very handy. So makes great sense to me.

Maybe the wrong thread but giving xbmc remote the ability to use the default media player on an android device would be welcome feature. To have the web add on in xbmc also support playback would be great. The default web addon is pretty plain as it is.
Maybe the current dev might see this as a nice and easy feature.

Purchased the Jynxbox and was somewhat disappointed at first. The wifi antena is horrible, you want to use a cat 5 connection for this TRUST ME regardless what the box says your connection speed is, it is NOT!
Once you have it setup, immediately root it which you can do from the recovery screen. Careful, once your in the recovery screen, there is no way out of it till you root. So back everything up first.
Install MX Player, MX Player Codec arm6 & arm7
Launch MX PLayer, within settings select decoder: check mark S/W decoder (local, Network) Un-check S/W Audio. Now for CPU Core limit, set it to two as the Jynxbox is dual core. Color depth choose 16bit since we are using S/W decoding.
Now navigate to xbmxhub and locate the xbmc android download. Install this, and run it for the first time.
This should help you get the best 1080 resolution till someone tweaks XBMC to use hardware decoding on android.
Within Android settings, I specified the standard display screen size which for my gym screen its 720. I also set the Audio to RAW. This will help you TONS in regards to voice dropping out during playback.
Hope this helps,
John.

I purchased this unit and I absolutely love it. it was very frustrating at first to get it working just right. There is not a lot of information out there quite yet, but it is growing rapidly.
It certainly doesn't work out of the box as everyone states. Now that I finally got it all tweaked it is a great little device. I am looking forward to the future when all the developers jump on it and start tweaking it even more.
The gyro remote is very difficult to get used too, but once you do, it is quite nice. There are times it doesn't respond like it should.

If you install the non-neon version it prompts you to install a plugin for mxplayer for the neon compatible one. I'm using all neon mxplayer and xbmc and all is great

The Web Browser works fine, I also have facebook and twitter set up on it and many other programs and games. They all work great.
The biggest issue I found with getting XMBC to work properly was the "playercorefactory.xml" file. Most websites I went to recommend using the MX Player Free. I was having a lot of problems using just that player. So I downloaded Archos, TPlayer and WonderShare also. I set up my playercorefactory.xml file to use TPlayer as default.
I am using the following firmware:
last_update_Hiolux_20130205
And this is the version of XMBC I am using:
xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-2013-03-05-full-neon-a4e1e953d9cbfdc0b4d6b3624cdf289dd2ebf60e
Like I said, out of the box, it was very frustrating and unfortunately their isn't much information as of yet on the internet in regards to this little box. But I have noticed just in the past couple of weeks their is more and more people jumping on it. Once you get it running it is a great media player.

5 times uninstalled the app reinstalled same bs any thoughts on this ****
theos0o was kind enough to update his YouTube mod to support 1080p (used to only be 720p). 1080p isn't default so you have to enable it in the advance settings in the app. Be sure to thank him for his hard work.

Just so people know, there are apparently problems playing 1080p on the One using that apk but it is already being looked at.

My question is does HTC the same idea in mind for a external device along the lines of the Apple TV or the Samsung hub that displays and mirrors to tv .
You'd think they would have something out like apple has and like Samsung has to mirror from HTC device .
I would have no idea what to look for ?

Confirmed working with HTC Media Link HD. Can mirror screen, stream multimedia files and aven play Game, although not all games seems compatible.
Anyone get this to work? I have a valid account (it works on my tablet) but can't get it working on the fire TV. Hard to tell what the problem is because the log in screen is rotated 90 degrees. It seems to accept my log in but complains about something.

If that doesn't work, which it might not as its always been hit/miss for me, you might want to give FilmOn for random affiliates or try the Navi-X Add-On.
