Hi Folks,
I own a Andoer S82-B mOdel (like any Clone of Tronsmart, Beelink and co. it has 2GB of Ram).
It is "rooted" by using finless 2.0 (and in former times I ve used many different Images based on JB).
As many "Amlogic" Users of XBMC (even with OMAN, SPMC, or "individual compiled", or "nightly builds based on HELIX) there is a problem when "streaming" Media (especially 1080I or other HD stuff) like you do when you are using "Live TV" functionallity in XBMC (e.g. as a client for TVheadend ).
Since month there is no solution for the problem when "switching channels" (or changing media during play e.g. UPNP/DLNA Sources) that XBMC is buffering and (when it happend you only can restart XBMC to resolve this) you get after the change : "a black screen/no video, but audio plays well in background".

This problem is already known, but only a "workaround" (to switch off acceleration in XBMC settings) is available :-(.
This "workaround" makes at least watching (in Europe VERY COMMON) Live-TV streams based on 1080I (interlaced video) nearly impossible (stuttering, bad picture...not usable !)....and many other formats too
. A To switch off a real good AMlogic GPU accelleration is no real alternative :-(
I investigated, that many people which have this problem too (and it is mentioned that "in former times" the root rights in some images could sollve the issue ... sometimes ...). Since I have tested NEARLY aNY IMAGE (all including root access !) and combinations of XBMC, there is still this problem on all S82 based boxes
In the meantime some "russian developers" had presented an "LINUX BASED" Openelec image where this problem IS NO LONGER A PROBLEM (but currently there is only a image for MX3 1GB Version, S82 compiled Linux images of this developers currently dosent start in corecct resolution.)
My question is, does someone know an ANDROID image/XBMC combination where he can watch (and zap :-)) live TV channels (especially 1080I) channels/streams without loosing the picture (= black screen, only sound) ?
@to XBMC developers/Experts
I think it still has something to do with "buffering" and/or root access to "HW Amlogic GPU" ressources ?! in XBMC !! (decoding is done by a LIB like FFMPEG which is delivered together with the XBMC installation). Maybe someone can solve this Issue in the NEAR future....
When this is solved AMLOGIC ANDROID/XBMC combination is the best solution for watching Live-TV/Mediaclient for everyone in Europe FOR UNDER 5W power consumption !
At the moment I´m still using a HTPC´s (with more than 30 W power consumtion) which i realy love to change !
Kind regards arel
