NEW - Finless 1.8 for EM8 Square Box

[Marton4]

With 720p patch, XBMC plays videos in a smaller window which is offset to the top left. Is there a way to sort this out so it optimises the full screen following this.. XBMC crashed.

I had the same problem with all newer roms above finless 1.5b1.

Finless 1.5b1 works very well with spmc "fork of xbmc" and xbmc 13.1 from oman. With finless 1.5b1 do install SDcard fix for kitkat and USBdebug (both free from googleplay).

That I haven't tried yet. In this thread you can read if it works with Link2SD app:

With the fix (as far as I know not needed for newer Finless roms) I can read/write the SDcard. I use it for the cache for video-addons, apps-backup and for moving the Thumbnails map of SPMC/XBMC to the SDcard1 by using the advancedsettings.xml within /userdata map with:

<advancedsettings>
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>/storage/external_storage/sdcard1/spmc_thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>

That's an interesting solution. Never knew you could do this using advanced settings. Can this be used for setting your external SDcard as cache forXBMCtorrent? Would solve the dreaded damage to your flash using this add-on.

can someone upload the file in the root of sd-card (internal memory) of 1.8 ROMs called:

recovery.img

to:

http://www.zippyshare.com

for me please?

Thanks.

Some XBMC addons (e.g. Istream or Icefilms) or android apps like backup apps, can be configured to use a specific map. I don't have torrent installed.

FYI Any xbmc apk will have video interlacing problem with Bob 1.8 or Acemax 22-07 Rom

So stick with 1.7 and omans till a fix?

I went back to 1.7 and hopefully it will be fixed for 1.9

hi! visual artifacts when playing this file https://yadi.sk/i/qjd_WiDUZM5Uf (freeze and flicker; 7.1 sound -> stereo) and https://yadi.sk/i/ob9RNMFmZKbb4 (like interlaced)

It's already been determined that there is a interlacing issue with 1.8 and the firmware used in it so you might want to go back to 1.7 until fixed unless you can deal with it.
