I just can't seem to get xbmc working on this tablet. I've searched the net far and wide looking for a solution.
Has anyone here managed to get it working properly? What build did you use? Thanks in advance. A tablet is useless to me without xbmx!

This one work great. Download files on post #9.

Thanks! But still no go. Had the same issue this afternoon with a Gotham build. Getting "Cannot connect to server"
Try mizuu though there is no free version. I bought it and like it. Almost like xbmc. Even better, it allows you to choose your own player with hardware decode.

It's working on mine using MX player (both 1channel and Icefilm are working). Did you download playercorefactory.xml file, copy and paste in
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata folder?
Yup. Might also have to do with "fail to start commoncache"
Any other suggestions? I really need to get xbmc going.
If you're in the UK all isp's have had a court order to block 1 channel and PFTV. the "fail to start commoncache" bug has been around for a while now in gotham but this only comes up on certain tabs. The "Cannot connect to server" bug has to do with metadata so if you unselect this it should work on those addons.
I've got the Note 10.1 2014 SM-P600 and have xbmc running on it with no problem at, in fact are watching a 1080p film at present. I'm running a Gotham Alpha9 monthly build
compiled 31st Oct
I'm in Canada and xbmc is working fine on my other devices. I'll try unchecking the meta data and see if that works. Much appreciated.
That did it! Thank you!
That's great news
xbmc works on my device but sound craks
i was wondering if other people have sound problems, i don't know the write word for it , its like a electric crack.
this problem is only in xbmc

Could one of you clarify this please because its not exactly clear, you mean its certain addons that cause the problem and its in those addons config you must turn off metadata?
Hardware decoding is working on these right? I know Exynos is supported but I just wanted to check.

I have this problem too.
>>X<<,
Due to a UK court order addons have been blocked by ISP's here. When the developers tried to fix this for some unknown reason (still in being) with metadata set to on caused the addons not work on the 1's block by this UK order and other addons not block and so the only way around was to check each addon to see if it would work or not.
Now since the last post some dev have sorted this bug out and some have not. Sorry but I've been to busy to update my list of which needs metadata off/on. I do know Mashup is fixed. Yes hardware decoding is still working but remember to use the correct 1 for your Android OS.
The crackling sound has been linked to a few Gotham nighlies So best thing is to use the last monthly. Anytime soon Gotham13 will go into it's first beta

xbmc sound fixt pickture is now no good
Thank you for the information, i installed nightly build: 20131208-b7ef080-master-armeabi-v7a.

there is a fat green line under the picture and the colors are like it is a 3d movie , you for those glasses whit red en green.

Thanks for the extra info its appreciated :good:
jamaraki8,
OK the issue you have with the green bar is due to which H/W acc module you are using, Libstagefright or mediacodec,, as you are using the Note 10.1 2014 running JB 4.3 them my guess is you either have bot turned on or just mediacodec.. Try turning mediacodec off and leave Libstagefright as your default H/W acc module, this is how my xbmc is set up and it runs 720/1080p vids np at all.
>>X<<
np at all, it look's like there are no more nightly builds after 8th Dec so it may mean a Gotham beta is around the corner lol
XBMC Sound And PicTure Problems Solved
Thank you, sheepybach
My problems are over now !, not all but that is related to plugins like 1channel etc not compatible(YET).
Just for people whit same problems:
I had sound en picture problems
My system is:
Note 10.1 (2014) running, build number JSS15J.P600XXUBMJ6, android 4.3
XBMC, Nighty , 20131211-210CF9F-master-armeabi-v7A.apk
After installing this nighty, my sound problem was over, but the picture was terrible whit a green line under it, sheepybach told me, that I am running: H/W acc module Libstagefright and mediacodec at the same time, so I needed to turn mediacodec OFF, and leave the other one ON.
But I did not find them , I had to go to System then to PlayBack ,below on the left site there is setting level, switch that to expert, now you see :Allow hardware acceleration (libstagefricht) its ON, and if you scroll a bit down:laugh:, you see the other, its ON to ,switch it OFF.
Now my main problems are over, but the plug in 1channel is not compatible, Icefilms seems ok !
P.S I tried to install 1Channel anyway but it did not allow me , I also couldn’t find/install XBMC Maintenance module.
I hope this makes it clear for other people
Thanks to sheepybach
jamaraki8
Really glad you are sorted and sorry I do forget sometimes to inform peeps where things are or how to change them so that's my bad.
As for channel 1 I'm in the same boat at present and so are a lot of others, the devs get it working and then isp's block it again so it's still a work in progress. Odd you can't find or install XBMC Maintenance module as I can find it but have the XunityTalk Maintenance module installed instead as I find that 1 better.
Would like to ask you to share which is the best XBMC version for AFTV for your? Thank you.

mastafunk edition of SPMC 12.4.2 Download
With the content that i have tested Frodo builds work a lot better. Frodo builds also have a lot more addons capatable.

Maybe you should go to the source first: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Amazon_Fire_TV
I use XBMC 13.1. I tried SPMC but one thing that bugged me was some buttons can not be accessed by the AFTV remote like XBMC could. It is a minor thing.
Everyone has their own picks. Try both and see which one you like the most.
I've been running kodi/helix alpha2 for a few days to good success was on 13.2 betas before that.. Mediacodec as well as a few other bugs seems to be ironed out in helix.. Only downside so far is a few skins seem to have issues but confluence and aeon nox seem fine.
Any settings to make aftv faster?? Xml??

There is only Gotham builds.
Although the Fire7's display has a 16:9 aspect ratio, videos are always stretched with black bars at top and bottom due to its non-square pixels. (THIS ONLY APPLIES TO 5TH GEN FIRE7!!!)
I slightly modified VLC to compensate for that error.
Please note that this only works for hardware decoded videos (h264, h265 but not webm)!
It's based on the latest beta version and I changed package name and icon so you can run it side-by-side with the official version.
Hope you like it...
updated to latest beta [3.0.5]:

Also the link is dead. If you wouldn't mind uploading to AFH or something it would be greatly appreciated.

Interest seemed rather limited but I did just upload an updated version.
Developer access is needed to upload files to AFH! I am however open to alternatives...

You have to request developer access and give reasons why you need it - like - what devices are you going to support.
I did request it but as this is really useful to a single device only I'm not expecting them to grant it.
What do you think about the new player hud buttons? Which ones do you prefer?

Well I hadn't gotten a chance to test the old version to see the old buttons since the link expired so I can't really say. I think it looks good to me though. Maybe you could upload to mediafire or Mega in the future?

Okay, I see. It had the original vlc buttons. I didn't like them as the stretching is very apparent with round buttons.
I will use one of the two you suggested although the 30 day expiry could be a good motivation to update regularly

I don't however own a CC to test. Does casting work for you in the official vlc builds?

It's based on the latest VLC beta with Chromecast support.
Let me know whether it works or not...
Great mod for longer excursions It helps alot. Thanks.
I didn't test chromecast tho. Maybe someone else can ?

Do you know if it would be possible to implement this for a ROM? Like system wide? So that it would correct it for the entire system instead of just VLC?
Hi all, I am just wondering if anyone on the latest stable release 9.5.8.0 can confirm the App Vault it toggleable for the home screen. I dislike using it and prefer to disable it (which I currently can on the latest dev build).
Example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jtyabenqn5ndn56/Screenshot_2018-05-24-19-27-09-272_com.miui.home.png?dl=0
Thanks in advance,
Kaji.
Nobody running this latest stable?
Few are comments, some commenting on a battery drop, no in-built alarm sound, and so on. Probably because of similar comments, some still waiting from updating and commenting on your question.

No worries, are these comments regarding the latest build? If so I probably wouldn't bother updating. Just wanted to check this one thing with the hope the build was actually working fully.

Like, completely gone from launcher or the setting is not there? FYI, the app vault toggle in my screenshot disables the shelf left of the home page of your launcher which includes notes, calander, search etc.
Thanks!
Ah yes sorry, the toggle in the settings is gone but the shelf left on the home screen is still there !

So now that Substratum is working with Android 10 what themes are you guys using? I've tried Spectrum and Swift Black, but they still seem to have some quirks. To be expected at this stage of the game but I was wondering if any of you have found others that work better.
See attached screenshot, swift black is not compatible with Android 10 framework but a lot of the 3rd party apps are. I use it to fill in the gaps from Ethereal theme. Outline X is an extension to Ethereal.

Like mentioned above.. Swift black works well for all apps, but it hasn't been updated to theme the system UI.
Pitch Black just updated recently and supports Android 10 framework!! so i got that going again! my favorite theme.
Now just waiting for Sprite to get updated for Android 10.

Hi,
I don't use it as much as I used to on previous Android versions, but if you want a black theme with regular updates, try "Domination" from @davidwilson83 ?
Q stock is supported. But if errors occur, David usually answer emails pretty fast by the way.

Hey,

I'm quite happy with this theme. My only concern was that it colors the settings icon in a single color. And Boom, Q came out and settings are black! Problem solved! ?

Try Swift Installer instead of Swift Black with Substratum Lite. Works perfectly fine on Android 10.
