Which Version of XBMC ?? (hardware acceleration)

[samrambo117]

Hi guys, in regards to the CS918, it runs 720p and 1080P fine using external players.
But in XBMC it lags so much when trying to watch 720 or 1080p. It is unwatchable. I can only watch SD quality streams.
Im running Frodo 12.2 - I then upgraded to Frodo 12.3 - still same issue.

I heard there is a version of XBMC out there which has hardware acceleration and fixes the problem of 1080p lag. (stagefright?)
Do any of you guys know about this? Or can provide a download link?

Thanks in advance !!

Hi,

the best Xbmc version for my CS918 ist the JustXbmc Firmware

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?7272-justXBMC-quot-new-firmware-for-k-r42-quot

with the v4 Update

scroll down the thread for the update justXBMCv4(app)

This is the only xbmc version that i have found with hardware hardware acceleration and Hdmi passthrough for Dts and Dolby.

But sometimes Xbmc crashes while playing videos without any visible error ...don't no why.

So, today i get my Intel Nuc (dual celeron), 4 Gb memory, Intel Hd video and 32 Gb Ssd drive.
With installed Openelec i can play everything without any problems.
These system is freaky fast. I can play these jellyfish testvideo with 120 Mbps without stuttering
from my NAS.

So, now i have time to wait for a Android firmware / xbmc version that works like my new system

Small note: (about justxbmc fw)
There are 5 versions of the cs918.. And on most versions justxbmc firmware does not work well..
-make sure, what you have by checking PCB/motherboard.. Then check user feedback

Thanks for your replies guys! You have been of great help.
I can confirm that SPMC works flawlessly, on all my devices.
I recommend you try this build DrHansAPlast

Totally agree it works although still no DTS passthrough it says error on Audio but streaming works with no lag.
