Buffering issue.

Hi,

My memory clean is 65%!!!
I have a buffering problem (Started when I also start to use Genesis instead XBMCtorrent that stop working on my devise from last month.)

The XBMC freeze time to time and try to buffering.

Any idea? Did the Memory clean is the problem? How I can fix it?

Thanks?

Hi Bob,

The 2.1 installed over 2.0 without any problem.
This FW's pro:
- SD-XviD avi files are playing fine, without any shutter! It's freakin' great!

Had three cons (but I think it's the original FW's fault):
- 1080p WEB-DL dd5.1 h264 files are laggy with the included xbmc-armeabi-v7a-13.4.0.apk. I mean: at every 10 sec the video slows down for a moment, if it's only buffering or something?... Latest SPMC solves it.
- when I pause a video in xbmc, the screen goes black after 2 sec (in Finless 1.8 +2.0 there were no such problem)
- suspend problem. AV reciever didn't get the signal from the box properly (it "sees" the box, but there's no signal). Had to power off the box, because HDMI connection is not working properly.

Is it possible to use the new amlcodec files in your 1.8 ROM?

anyway to directly suspend or shutdown without pop up menu with remote power button ?

Good question. +1

Thanks,
eM

Automatic Rebooting with Uninstall

Question for everyone, the ROM seemingly installed fine, until I tried to uninstall a few apps (user apps that I downloaded), any app I try to uninstall either via the Android Settings, Titanium, Play, or Link2SD sends the box into an immediate automatic reboot, and if I go to the Security section under settings, the exact same thing happens. Any ideas?

[Finless]

Sounds like your data partition is possibly corrupt or something you installed hosed it up.
You may have to do a factory reset/erase to fix it.

I have no luck, some videos are slow. Had to install the XBMC provider with this update.

Actually, after using it for a few days I ended up switching back to SPMC. I was seeing a few hangups, freezes etc where Helix just froze, no remote responses & I would need to reboot. No such issues w/ SPMC.
Am seeing something a bit strange, when playing music in "party mode" after a period of time, the music stops & the S-89 goes into standby (red LED on box). If I hit the power button on remote it comes back up to where it stopped, but this is rather frustrating when I'm wanting to keep music playing all day.
Would this be an XBMC screensaver thing (I've since turned it completely off in XBMC) or something else entirely?

First of all: Thanks Finless for cleaning up this ROM from unnecessary items!

One question regarding 'Static IP' configuration:
Is there a way to add a secondary DNS? Currently You can only define one DNS in settings.

Sorry for being such a noob, but how might I do that best? Via the settings menu options, or otherwise?

thought SMPC AND OMAN 13.4 were kind of the same. If its not then i rather install spmc. CAN SOME1 confirm this.

BTW anyone with good cache value for advncedsettings.xml that can share for streaming from nfs server. TIA.

For a second DNS setting install override DNS from the market, it works perfectly for swapping DNS on the fly. Its one of the few DNS changers that actually works. Well worth paying for
