After correcting these little things can be the best android (XBMC) media center
2. Names of mounting points of external USB devices are always sda1, sda2, .... regardless of the real partition names.
I currently have 3 hard drives connected through a hub to my PopcornHour (Drives formatted in NTFS partition named "films", "series", "concerts".), and PopcornHour sees them as a resource named "films", "series", "concerts".
I tested it in amlinux - is just as well.
In MXIII Android TV Box these discs appear to be "sda1", "sda2", "sda3", but after the power is turned off and back on again, prev "sda1" is now "sda2", or "sda3", depending on the speed of activation of the disks.
And if you create a media library in XBMC based on the drive name (can not be otherwise?), Suddenly the whole library sucks.
It's not a big problem if you are using MXII only as a simple player. You know, you connect a USB stick and play the movie. But if you use XBMC in library mode, sorry it did not work well.
This is the biggest problem for me. It contradicts the idea of building a media center based on XBMC installed on this item.
And.... what about passthrough DTS HD and Dolby True HD?

tl;dr: It seems this box (or Android as a whole) cannot bitstream DTS HD and Dolby TrueHD just yet. I know you've probably read elsewhere that similar android boxes can do that, but as it turns out that's simply not true. Unfortunately.
