Yes you need root to be able to change aspect ratio. Sounds like your apk is corrupt. Download again.

Just uninstall the existing XBMC using any normal method.

Hi Lokie,

Is there any reason you have stayed on the stock ROM and not gone with Finless? I'm curious as I have one of the plain Beelinks on the way and I'm kind of assuming it should flash fine with the debloated Finless ROM.

No no reason. Just received the units yesterday so was first playing around with it to get to know the device and what its problems is.
Look I'm one of those guys that root my phone within 2 hours of receiving it and with titanium backup and root explorer as my as my first apps.

I don't think I will be able to resist putting in finless before the end of the week.

OK, now on Bob 1.2 standard firmwware. Nice, clear, proper
So, i install last nightly XBMC 04/14, but i can't have DTS, 5.1 sound on it... just 2.1.
Same with MX + DTS Codecs, in software sound decode, no DTS or 5.1 out.

Few questions, is stock XBMC hacked to permit that? Is sound menu (HDMI passthrough, ...) of VEGA S29 really active? Someone have 5.1/DTS sound with MX player on this BOX?

Thanks.

I have it working in XBMC. MX Player will not do passthrough. You need to enable it in settings - system - sound

OK. Thanks. I will check again...
[Update]
I check with stock XBMC / last nightly... i have for both AC3 5.1 passthrough... but no passthroug for DTS 5.1. And no influence for sound switch... PCM/HDMI/SPIF... same result. No effect at all !?

No way to have passthrough with MX player !???!
I hope it will be possible... i mainly use Mizuu + Mx Player to watch movies!

Guys,
It seems stock kernel don't handle CIFS or NFS features... Maybe an advice to have it on this box?
Or we have to wait a custom kernel...?
Thanks.
