justXBMC "new firmware for x7"

Lewy

do you use an updated librtmp file for your rom and your apk?

thanks

[lewy20041]

for what you need difrent librtmp.so?

For live streaming. In the official version of xbmc there is an old version and many streams aren't working. With an updated file including ksv-patches you can watch those streams. Since you have a custom version I would like to ask if this for is updated or not.

Hey Lewy,
just mounted my synology nas as smb device over init.d. script.
It works perfect with xbmc connected to this drive as internal player but nothing happens if mx player is installed (as external player). So is it still the smb problematic with xbmc?

I would like to use xbmc with bsplayerfree as external player, cause it plays much better than mx player, so any chance for this?

I changed your playerfactory.xml to
"<args> start --user 0 -n com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free/.ActivityScreen -d {1}</args>"

but it doesn't work :-(

Any idea?

i will tro to get to work other players to.
im investigateing what is wrong with mx and mounted shares.

I have installed this rom yesterday and really like the speed and response time. I have also loaded all my favorite addons from superRepo & Xunity. But i have a few hiccups and looking for help here:

1. I have a slow internet via WiFi and XBMC takes a lot of time to buffer.. well the same file on my earlier rom (your stock firmware on which i used XBMC nightly) played without a pause to buffer. I also get a warning while streaming "cache full before reaching required amount for continuous play.. "
So basically i need a longer cache i guess? i tried to find advanced settings.xml to try and add some data but could not find it. ANy idea how to do it ? and what values to add in there?

2. I have a 1TB expansion drive connected to my neo X7.. but i am not able to add it as source in Xbmc. I can only see sdcard->sdcard0->x7 storage folders. i am not able to access files in my hard disk.

I tried browsing through EStrongs explorer and it works over there. How to add it as source in xbmc ?

I am using these settings in my advancedsettings.xml file. I am using them with the Finless rom, but they should work with this rom as well.

<network>

<cachemembuffersize>5242880</cachemembuffersize>
<!--

XBMC will not buffer ahead more than this. WARNING: for the bytes set here, XBMC will consume 3x the amount of RAM

<readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor>
<!--

This can help on bad connections to keep the cache filled. It will also greatly speed up buffering. Default value 1.0.
-->
</network>

Hope this helps.

Thank you for this.

Does this noticably cut down on the buffering stops?

Also, what directory does this file n4ed to reside?

Thanks.

Your question makes me think perhaps you haven't worked with the advancedsettings.xml file before. There is an xbmc wiki write-up on it, including how to locate it. On Android, it is hidden. I really don't recall how I found it, but I know I found it by studying the wiki pages. There is more in the file than I just gave for the <network> section. It is found in the ..\userdata folder. I think the best bet would be to Google "xbmc how to find userdata in android".

You're assumption is correct.

Thank you for the info.

Thank you for the info.

Regarding the effect of the <network> section that I suggested (and I use myself)... I have not had a buffering delay for a long time. I made these changes to the advancedsetting.xml to control the stuttering and jerkiness of all the streams, video and audio. With these settings the stuttering stopped for me.

A long time ago, I used to have buffer delay issues, but I fixed it by changing how my video files were encoded. I use "HandBrake" to encode my videos, and once I enabled "Web Optimized", the buffering delay stopped being a problem.

To me, the stuttering issue was a series of small delays, the buffering delay was 1 long delay. Hard to tell sometimes which we are discussing.

That's good info and good to know and act upon.

I'm going to look into doing this for sure.

would it be possible for someone to link me to the xbmc that's in this rom?
