[Iru786]

Hi Guys,
I cannot get sound working with F10 pro remote connected even with soundabout.

Anyone else having this issue or knows what i am doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi,
Firstly thanks for the rom.

Can you please advise if we need to use SoundAbout fix with this or not? On 1.8b, the sound was working fine but does not seem to work on this for me.

Thanks

Did you fix the bluetooth stack when trying to use the sixacess controller app, used to get a segmentation fault

Can I try this rom on my Tronsmart Vega Standard s89? Thanks

@firestorm-snesly
Thanks for the feedback guys Although I'm not using Finless Rom we have the same problem (ace 22-07) and thats why I don't like to use new fws cos every new fw= new problems...

Thanks Bob i have been waiting for this and so far it is working very well,i am streaming 1080p Divergent from Mashup at the moment and not had one instance of buffering.I have donated to help the cause.
One thing i have been wondering as i am a novice i use the box for playing my own media and streaming media from internet would the cpu fixer benefit me and if it would which fix would you recommend? I assume it is like overclocking a graphics card which i have never done.

Thank you Bob,
- This is the most responsive ROM I tried so far.
- XBMC close and open really quick.
- I had an app (Glwiz) that never worked before and now it does.
- The blue led turn off immediately when I turn the unit off.
- Partially fixed The problem I had before from the thread below (happening a lot less frequent).

- Played 1080 movie (wallet) from Yifi and no stuttering or buffering at all using 5G wifi.
Room for improvement:
I did notice the interlace issue TMX mentioned.
XBMC doesn't show me the available network drives when I to add them through the option browse for windows network SMB. I will play with this more in case it is my fault not knowing what i am doing
Conclusion: This is the best.

Yep, rom works great here as well except for the interlaced video issue.

Download link now working.

TMx, yes it appears they used new source but I do think they are the latest! I think they are from early July.

Great Bob, thanks. 1.8beta is performing superbly basically.

1.8beta was based on FrankenROM, has that avenue been abandoned or incorporated into this release?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the info Bob...
Guys could you please Check if you are gonna have interlaced picture in XBMC time to time cos I do have few times barely visible interlaced Picture like this one but not this bad (found this from net) restarting video or fwd/rewind solves the problem ;

First time I've seen that .tar stuff the other day something new but removed immediately LOL

Did they used new AML sources etc. in this FW?

[ipodtouchdude]

Yep, sorry. The upload died so I had to start it again.

Should be about 15-20 minutes and link will work.

Bob

Ok, can't wait to try this. Using your 1.7 and its awesome. Your 1.8 release notes looks even better.
