Is anyone using the Plex app? I'm currently running RandomKing's Thunderhawk 1.1 ROM and Plex videos aren't working. Apparently there are issues with some custom ROMs not working with Plex. From what I've gathered, there is essentially a permissions issue where Plex cannot create a file to write the stream to for the phone to read and play from.
I've been using PlayOn which did the job, but Plex seems to be nicer, faster, and you could skip in videos. So if anyone has this working, what ROM are you using and which version of the Plex app do you have? Any point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have the plex app (awesome btw) and I never had an issue with it on custom roms, and I've been flashing new ones constantly since July. I'm currently on CM7 and it works great

Just installed the pre beta of XBMC on the N7! For a pre beta, this app is really polished. Some buggy touchscreen things on the main skin but the touch skin works awesome. I set up my smb share and it recognized and downloaded all the info for my movies and TV shows. Can't wait to see how this app turns out when its out of beta!
Might I ask where you got the apk from?
I don't suppose its the same as this one is it?
Just about to try that on my N7...

Tested on N7
Tried it out, and it did work with SMB shares right away. Always have loved XMBC on many of my home network devices (wife does too). The resolution needs some work and it would not landscape correctly but all other loved XBMC options were there and it looks really promising! Nice work to the Devs!
Thanks for the heads up, this is exactly what I needed!
Love it!
New to xbmc..
If I'm running xbmc w upnp enabled on my Linux computer, how can I access my videos through the network with this app? Or is there a better way to do this
merci pour le partage, J'ai le même souci.

You shouldn't need xbmc on another machine to get it to work on your android tablet, within xbmc video(or music and pictures), click on on add videos and the choose source and navigate(through SMB shares) to get to the share you want to add. This link will explain how to set it up: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Adding_videos_to_the_library/Adding_media_sources

xbmc is not a host/transcoder software. it plays media, it doesn't stream it to other devices. as another poster mentioned, you are accessing media directly from the smb shares.
OK thanks for your reply. I am relatively new to xbmc. I came from tversity due to the massively better library functionality of xbmc.

I tried the XBMC on the N7 and agree it works well! Going forward, I doubt I'll use this because if I want to watch movies, I just play them via my JB'd Apple TV2 running XBMC. I do however love using the XBMC Official Remote app on the N7. Makes browsing libraries so much easier.
Everything works for me. I, using the channel one repository but I'm only getting the video yo play in SD.. how do I gry HD playback?

Found my Windows share and scraper worked. Playback is smooth even with my big 1080p mkv files.
Impressed.

Can I ask how you got smooth playback? XBMC seems to be only working in software mode as my 720p files are very choppy in this yet smooth in BS Player.
Have anyone made hulu work on it?

Yes you can share videos from your laptop - You can use SMB shares on Windows by setting up a workgroup. Have a look at the XBMC forums as they have a lot of wiki pages with a lot of info.
I am looking for a cheap emulator box but primarily will Ouya as a replacement for my ATV1 streaming device.
I stream video from certain XBMC addons and was wondering if anyone can provide feedback from streaming video through XBMC on a Ouya?
Thank you.
So far (past week or so) my experience has been very impressive, I have been streaming my personal movie collection via local network) however for some reason (think I remember reading they screwed something up in their firmware update) the ouya crashes and hangs via ethernet, I was starting to get really peed off, read that, pulled the plug; all good!? DTS currently doesn't work (someone please correct and enlighten me if I'm wrong), which is a pain in the yaris, but is apparently "in the works", the ouya team seem like a bunch of active awesome people though, so I have full confidence they will work with the XBMC dudes fully to get that sorted! I was previously using a sumvision cyclone nano slim plus mk3 (1GB RAM version) with an adapted XBMC 12.0 version for the Pivos Xios (same beast essentially) which was flawless! I am yet to venture down the route of plugins though, so my response may be useless!)

I successfully use 1Channel / SportsDevil / TVcatchup / Twitch.tv on my two Ouyas. I've recently set up a Google Music addon that works great too.
This is both using the original sideloaded XBMC and the one available in the Discover menus.
I stream a lot of MP4s across my home network, thogh it seems to struggle a bit with XVids for some reason.
I use it to watch movies and shows from mashup, 1channel, sportsdevil, icefilms and few others. Everything works really well and I only have buffering when everyone in the house is using the WiFi. Even then its not bad. May happen once or twice a show if that.

I was wondering if anyone has had any success in getting netflix to airplay to their Ouya?
So far I've tried a few applications, AirReceiverLite, Airpin and an older version of airtight (they've protected the APK on the latest version, can't move it over to the Ouya). All of these applications work great when streaming music or youtube videos but all fail when using netflix.
Try xbmc.

Thanks for the suggestion, XBMC would have been my first choice, unfortunatley airplay doesn't seem to work with the current official build of XBMC for the Ouya.

Hi there
I use the Netflix app on my HOX to stream TV and movies and find that the playback is very s-s-s-tuttery/jumpy despite being on a 30Mb WiFi connection (indeed, the same WiFi I use to stream to my XBox which works great).
Therefore, is this an issue that the HOX is just not powerful enough to stream movies smoothly? Does anyone else use Netflix on their HOX? I don't own any other handheld devices to compare to but I do find this hard to believe given it works on iPhones with lesser hardware.
For reference, I am using ARHD 33.1 on stock kernel - i.e. a pretty standard Sense 5 & 4.2.2 set up.
Thanks
James
I'm running a HOX+ and see the exact same problem, running a very solid Wi-Fi connection with 16Mb broadband. It's pretty much unusable, very frustrating in use.
Phone is completely stock Sense & 4.2.2.
i've used netflix on sense (stock), rev HD, venom as well as CM 10.2,10.3 and 11 using ART and delvik and have had no issues with play back.
OK thanks. At least it's good to know it's possible to have it working smoothly on the HOX. I will experiment with some custom kernels perhaps.
FYI, I installed Lyapota's kernel and I have just watched a whole episode of Breaking Bad stutter-free. Might just have done the trick.
Hello
I got the Kodi 14 RC1 install on my Fire Stick. It works really well despite one problem, blurriness despite at high resolution like 1080p. For example, if I watch a twitch stream through XBMC or Twitch app itself, the picture looks like it runs on 360/480 despite I select 1080p. I read in some of posts that this seems to be some software codec issues since for certain video files it runs fine without the blurriness issue. Also, Netflix is not working, it will starts to play then stop. I wonder if Amazon is aware of this and they are going to fix it soon.
On another note, my FireStick is running the original firmware (54.1.0.0_user_100211520). They have and updated version of the software, version 54.1.0.1_user_101016220. I want to know if anybody is running this newer version. Is the newer version fix the blurriness issue and Netflix? If yes, then I will upgrade it to the newer version since it is annoying since I can't read any small text at higher resolution because it is too blurry.
Thanks for your help.
Just got my stick yesterday and I allowed the system update. I can confirm Netflix works without issue. I'm also running TVMC which is based on XBMC Gotham 13.2, this also runs great, crisp picture on 1080p movies. Maybe the newer codecs in Kodi 14 not optimized for FireTV stick?

Hello,
Thanks for the info. I just did an upgrade to the newer version and you are right. Netflix runs great on it. However, Kodi 14.0 RC1 still has the same blurrines. I guess I will just wait till the official 14.0 is released. Thanks for replying.
Yup, same here, Kodi UI is crisp but videos are blurry. . I hope this gets ironed out.

I concur. I'm having the same issue on my FireTV Stick. I'm running it on a 720p display. I will also try it on a 1080p display and see if it's any better.
I have tried both XBMC 13.2 and SPMC (13.3 I think) and they are both not as sharp as the native FireTV Stick apps even though I'm playing Blu-Ray rips through XBMC.
Was having the same issue with my stick and gave up and sold it, hopefully someone can find a fix and I'd buy it again, great value
