NEW - MK808-B mini TV Player - Finless 1.5 Custom ROM

Hello ppl!
First i like to say thanks to Finless & the crew here who's making a fantastic job with the roms!
I decided to register today after reading this section of the forum for a few weeks.

The 1.5 Custom ROM for my 808B was the first custom rom that gave me working wireless so for now i will stick with it. My goal is to turn this little stick into a substitute for my AppleTV running XBMC. So far not a 100% working solution, but i guess its only at mather of time

My concerns so far:
1) I cant mount my SMB-shares from my NAS using CIFS-Manager. It gives me the "No such device"-error, no mather what i do. I also tried mounting a FTP-connection. I know the NAS is ok because the AppleTV has been streaming from it for 2 years. Any ideas what the problem might be?

2) Im trying to get HW-decoding to run smooth. I have tried different soultions and right now the best solution seems to be XBMC + MXPlayer as external player. I downloaded the package that lewy20041 provided on his page, but there are some problems.

When i try to play a .mkv file by adding a new source in XBMC from my FTP-server running on my NAS, i can connect and browse the files without a problem, but when i click on a file from the it says "Press ok when external player finish" and nothing happens.

The strange thing is if i download the same file to the internal sdcard and open it there tru ESFileExplorer and open it works perfect playing in MXPLayer. So to me it seems to be a problem related to the XBMC vs. FTP-protocol in some way?

I can also browse FTP-share in ESFileExplorer and play with MXPlayer almost perfectly,
sometimes i get pixel-errors on the top of the screen (see picture http://imgur.com/FcdBYDF & http://imgur.com/EDtwjkX).


Thank you in advance!

That pixel corruption happens only with the HW+ mode. If you switch to HW the pixel corruption goes away. Furthermore, in my case the corruption only happens when streaming from network.

Thank you! I will try that. Any input on the CIFS-Manager problem? Does this ROM support it? From what i can see it should.

I'm using it and never had trouble.

By the way, Keep in mind the XBMC-stagefright is a test for a solution. even less than a beta version.

your best solution is XBMC+MxPlayer right now.

I think i expressed my problem badly, i dont use the Stagefright-version of XBMC, its the "XBMC Android HD Playback Setup by lewy20041" found here http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechfo....php?f=6&t=834 .

The main issue here is that MXPlayer wont launch from XBMC when i try to play something from the FTP-folder that i have added (i had to go with FTP since i cant get CIFS to work, this works fine with my AppleTV). Theres only a popup windows saying somthing like "Press OK when external player has finished". I have seen some ppl claiming that its because of the network share?

Thank you Finless for your awesome work! Keep it up!
Hopefully we can get true 1080p support soon....

Btw, I had problem updating the superuser. It prompt me root access denied but I have no problem with titanium backup and es explorer accessing root. Any idea why is this so?

Beside, where can I find the screen shot icon as it was being replaced by the hide arrows on the navi bar?

All in all this is a great rom with everything working great! Thanks again for your great support on this device and hope to see more updates coming in....

Original or Fake?

http://dx.com/p/android-4-1-dual-core-google-tv-player-w-keyboard-wi-fi-bluetooth-1gb-ram-8gb-rom-black-176755

Bought mine from DealExtreme and was wondering if the 1.5 ROM would work for my 808B and if it was a Real one or a "Fake" one.

I can see my router wifi under the wifi settings and it says it has a good signal but when I try to connect the wifi bars drop to 1 (it shows full bars before connecting) and then stops trying to connect.

Thanks.

Additional Info from the "About Device" is as followed

Model Number : MK808B
Android Version : 4.1.1
Kernel Version : 3.0.8+ olsen_V_401j1 #25 SMP PREEMPT Sat Nov 24 12:51:50 CST 2012
Build Number : mk808b_400j1_20-11-2012

Edit : Just downloaded "Connectify Hotspot" on my laptop and have been using that to piggy back my wireless connection to the MK808B so I am able to connect to the internet and connect to GooglePlay. So far it has been working great and very fast.

Ions, try not to keep the device exactly behind the tv. See if using an hdmi extender n keepin the device away from the clutter helps. Or have a look at this http://vondroid.com/threads/mk808b-c...onnector.4804/

MK808B now reboots

Hi, thanks a lot for the ROM, I'm finding it very cool. However, I have a problem with my device, it reboots itself. Sometimes it happens randomly, but specially, when I stress the gadget too much. If I'm playing a high resolution video with MX Player, first, Wifi disconnects, video become choppy and after a few more seconds the system reboots.

I tried setting the CPU freq to 1200 GHz, doesn't make a difference. Also, the app Android System Info reports that the CPU is always running at 1008 GHz, regardless of what I set.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hy Bob,

I tried to clear cahe and data for dice but no chance...
Hope somebody could give me a advice

And after there is a new image from 15.01.2013 from geekbuying...did you have a plan to update your rom? It would be awesome if we can get a update ;-)
