Linux XBMC for square box (beta) - Gotham 13.1

[nukeybrown]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a pop at corey or any developer, just hoping people be realistic , it's not secret corey is working with a company who manufacturer or sell boxes , as is stane. Releasing their software to the community would not be wise for business for these companies , stane has already said that corey has used his m8 buildroot to sort out the armada m8 which is now on the open market.

would be nice if it was available to Jo public , we live in hope.

I'm not sure stane is involved in any of this... I'm sure he's helped Corey out.. but I guess we all need to remember stane owes us nothing...

I think stane is getting libfiles and source help from both ENY and Geekbuying for the Android version. Once one customer gets any OS with any M8 box he/she can install TWRP and save it and upload it to file hosting sites like mega.co.nz etc. etc. or seed it as a torrent. There is no way to stop it's spread once released.

I advise keeping current versions of his Linux & Android. Next versions might have lag and/or freezes in Android and/or xbmc, despite OR because of new libfiles/drivers/tweaks/debugs/enhancers in certain untested or even tested scenarios. Or they simply might not be as light or nippy. Chances are though, they will be better than his current r1 versions as I expect. He's a bit of a perfectionist.

Saving M8 would make his name. If I had to bet, I'd say check some night this weekend for either or both of his releases.

It's Been a Good Conversation

Indeed, Stane owes us nothing.

Notwithstanding my previous observations, I am still hopeful, however, that a person of his caliber will try to deliver on his conversation with us over the past few months. It was a good conversation from which he emerges as, not only a major talent, but a genuinely engaged ally.

Good luck in your new life, Stanislav. I think your abilities will be quickly recognized and properly rewarded there.

I grew up in London and spent 7 years at Oxford University. Best years of my life. Of course, the UK is a different place today- more crowded, more cosmopolitan, less inclined to see itself as the centre of the world. And with fewer decent pubs... Still a great place to find new friends and make your mark.

Resolution to 1080p .

I can not change the resolution to 1080p I get fixed in the system menu to 720p thanks to who can help me.

[pigbait]

I would just wait for the new build... I think there is a 1080p problem in this build

[luke71933]

Is it stabke or it crashes or turn off box ?

[pigbait]

For me 1080p will cut sound in and out... tried 5 different hdmi cords... and a different receiver same results. 720p I have no problems...

[pigbait]

But to change the resolution it's in the system settings

[luke71933]

Will wait for the fix then
