The version I am using is xbmc 14.0-alpha4 git 2014-08-31 dd441f6-difly . This is the kodi version that came out on the latest firmware for the Tronsmart Orion r28. I just copyed it off their firmware. I've tried many versions and this is very good. It put that moldded xbmc 13.0 to shame.

At 109k4 for the tronsmart's it's the xbmc-14.0-Helix_alpha3-armeabi-v7a.apk...

so just tried the new nightly... starts off ok with a clean install.... turned on live tv and fed it list via simple client.... ok.... did the restart still ok.....loaded mashup..... picked a vip 1080..... played fine for about 2 mins then freeze frame and crash...... now cant even get it to start.... crashing in a mili sec.....Grrrrrrrr

i had already tried the spmc.... no joy..... these last three boxes i got are the 2/16.... there not the same as the first box i got which is a 4/32.... the first one is running spmc... has the odd crash but can stand that..... the next 3 are not out of the same stable ?

I see a lot of post re xbmc. Crashes ect. First off nightly are test builds and even gotham beta 2,3. If you turn reporting on and submit your logs to xbmc team helps them make it better. New boxes never perfect at start it's trial and error. �� seen a huge difference from 14 to 14 beta 3 and more fixes coming. ( Love that hub wizard down now people trying add on program so it's getting tested well now lol)

Keep the faith amlogic rules....for now lol

Anyone tested the new 1.3.9 firmware that fixes youtube,video playback and dts/passthrough?
I will also test the new Dual boot Ubuntu firmware 9-25 and report back.
Maybe even make a custom ROM and kernel with this ROM, if it's stable enough.

For XBMC you have to use SPMC and turn off Mediacodec in settings, it doesn't work properly on Rockchip. Rockchip devices are made to work with libstagefright.

this is not just an isolated box with a bad firmware glitch.

You should check your information, the latest CNXsoft review yesterday covers the version of Kodi as I refer to in post #401. I had read the same information as you stated but the new firmware delivered the version I refered too.

I had extracted the img and found the 'xbmc-14.0-Helix_alpha3-armeabi-v7a.apk' at usr, but now at a look inside the 'AndroidManifest.xml' I found out '1 4 . 0 - A L P H A 4' , so I ask you, who should know, that they use wrong filenames?

But the funny think is, that it isn't the alpha4 (much bigger and much different) and it is only a little bit bigger (some byte) and different (also only some byte) than the alpha3 which you can find at

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/android/arm/

so I have upload it if someone want to try it

I'm a little confused ! I'm not trying to insult any one. But that's the information on the app that I download on the new firmware. I have 2 Tronsmart devices and both came with that version of kodi 14. After your post about Kodi 14-helix alpha3 armeabi-v7a.apk.html I downloaded it and it was not near as good as the one in post #401. So which app am I using? If I misread the article, I apologize.

[bluesmanuk]

I have found that pretty much any of the recent nightly builds does the best job overall on my R28.

The bundling of the Alpha build by Tronsmart was likely done in response to the initial testers feedback results.
