XBMC - Hardware Accelerated Decoding - What works and what doesn't.

[lewy20041]

this update just implement 19.02 build hw into newer build of xbmc

[Wizzy]

new xbmc hw ver. http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/...rmeabi-v7a.apk

Gotham Alpha2 crashes on any live stream, reverting to 19/02/2013 build

Thanks for the info! Can you maybe specify what live stream you are talking about (and maybe using what plugin?)

I'm using it to stream files of an FTP server and that works fine so far. Not a live stream of course.

[lewy20041]

i made a fix for streams.
unpack thease files http://d-h.st/lQB into /system/etc/
set permisions "rwx --- ---" to install-recovery.sh
this way it load fix at startup.

Additionally if your using one of my ROMs it has init.d script support.
Just rename the script to 00script.sh
copy it into the init.d folder.
reboot

Lewy20041: Thanks for your info and fixes. You seem to know your way around XBMC and android.

still no cigar, I have copied the following files
librtmp.so
librtmp.so.0
install-recovery.sh

to /system/etc/ and have set the permissions to all the 3 files to "rwx --- ---", still XBMC crashes on live streams like BBC Iplayer or ITV.

Bob, I also tried copying librtmp.so and librtmp.so.0 and renamed the install-recovery.sh to 00script.sh
and set the permission to all 3 files, still the same error. what did I do wrong

I made a mistake in what I said. Do not put a file extension on the script name.
call it 01script not 01script.sh
Sorry about that.

Also permissions need to be set on the script.

Using ES file explorer,
Long press on the 01script file and select properties from the list.
click the change button to set permissions
click ALL the boxes except the last WRITE box.

Or from a terminal type this
su
chmod 775 /system/etc/init.d/01script

thanks for the reply, followed the above steps, now things are lot worse, now getting a prompt at startup that 'XBMC has stopped' , guess the build is buggy

[lewy20041]

for me its working nice:"
try manualy copying librtmp.so and librtmp.so.0 to /data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/lib/ and set permisions to "0755" "rwx r-x r-x"
you have a rooted firmware right?

phew..it Works!! manually copied the files and set permissions but had to use librtmp.so from 19/02 build.thanks a ton Lewy
more importantly no dropped frames/choppy video on Amazon prime videos, will test on sportsdevil streams and report.

[lewy20041]

im glad its working for you, but you need to script it otherway you will have to do this every time after reboot.

[garyang]

Most files are work right

For XBMC HW 19/02/2013 you need to create advancedsettings.xml to have more resolution and formats unlocked.
Koying purposly locked some becouse they are not stable but you can try it if you wont.

I install finless 1.7c for mk808
Use xbmc 13-alpha1 hw-accel version and advancedsettings.xml
720P works great~~
1080P is little bit laggy but affordable.
Thanks~~~

Where did you get hw xbmc

From my daycruiser

[Abducted]

HERE or HERE. 2nd one should be the same HW accel decoder as in the first link, but put in an updated version of XBMC.
