Hey
I got the Gotham XBMC working, bit the SMB fileaccess gives me an error and failed to tun. Are you guyz seeing something like this ?
If it's what I think you're seeing, this happens on occasion. There's a tutorial on eBay on how to fix the SMB issue...
posting a little more info of what your seeing would help
Thats might help [emoji12]
But nevermind i swapped to XBMC for OUYA Which are WORLING much better with SMB and typing with the Remote.

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.

Hi everyone. I just noticed that my xbmc fire tv can't download subtitles in the movie folder over SMB. Seems like a write permission issue but it works with other machines running windows. Maybe its an android issue?
I can delete a file just fine with xbmc. It's just the subtitle addon that i have a problem. I did a search about this issue and couldn't find a solution. Maybe using NFS to share my files but that seems too complicated on windows. Or use a local folder inside the fire tv to save my subtitles but thats not ideal since the subtitle wouldnt be available to my other machines.
Anyone have this same problem?
Enviado de meu GT-N7100 usando Tapatalk
Have you tried different subtitle sources? I've had trouble in the past downloading subtitle, but apparently it's just right at the moment when the server I'm downloading from was down. I added a different source and that one worked.
The problem is not with service. But xbmc for some reason cant save the subtitle file on the movie folder over smb. Even though i set the permisions for this.
Anyway i gave up trying to fix it and just learned how to create a NFS share in windows using haneWin NFS. Now everything is working fine.
Thanks

Ah okay. I guess I saw the thread title and then just tuned out your actual message I myself have been using smb without a problem so it's good that you've found a solution!
I have the same problem.
XBMC cant access my SMB share for writing. XBMC has all the rights. I seems it has something to do with the firetv. Now i have to download the subs again when i want to re watch the video, its really annoying.
Does someone have a solution?
In the end i use the NFS protocol in my windows pc to share the folders. This way i can write the subs file just fine.
I tried a LOT to see if i could fix thr smb permissions but in the end i gave up. I am using haneWin NFS to share my folders using nfs. It works fine.

Ok. I will try that thank you.
thats weird, im using SMB share and it has no problems with subtitles. you shuold double check you have the right permissions in XBMC

Are You sure you dont have any issues? because the subtitles work fine until you watch the movie again and realize there is no subtitle because it wasnt actually saved in the same folder.
And are your movies shared from a windows pc? Anyway i havent tried it again to see if this issue was fixed recently. It can be a lot of things (windows version, wifi settings, permission seyyings etc etc)
But like i said its working fine now but im using nfs
Which Windows Version do you have? I have Windows 8.1.
EDIT: Ok I tried NFS. It works fine now. TY. Strange why it doesn't work with SMB although I set the right permissions..

no problems, i can see the subtitles are getting written on the folder of each movie/episode and rewatching them loads them up automatically.
not using windows pc, i have a router (RT-AC68U) sharing a hard drive., currently using wired lan, but i had no problems with wifi before i switched
Ok thanks for your reply. Seems like the problem is maybe sharing from a windows pc. I use windows 8.1 too.

I found out, of the amazing power of XBMC and I found out it's been ported to multiple platforms such as Android, OUYA and recently the Fire TV. I want a box that I can use XBMC on my TV to use apps for streaming like (identities of apps have been changed) SmashDown, FireFilms,MovieY2K, SportsDemon (LIVE Streaming) and that one that has XBMC in the name that you can use for torrents and more.
My question is...if I want to use this box for internet streaming and such..which would be the best?
what's your thoughts about XBMC on OUYA? I only want an OUYA for XBMC and sideloading apk's. Also, OUYA doesn't mind rooting....right..? Which begs the question of the Fire TV. IF I bought a Fire TV would it come with the unrootable update? (I don't want a Fire TV if I can't root it)
Which one would be more powerful in streaming? or are they equally matched? any lag or incompatibilities?
any feedback would be appreciated
bump? I'm going to do this just once....the Fire TV community has been active in giving me advice but nothing from OUYA?... = /

Ouyaforum.com is much more active than here. Personally I use sideloaded spmc and have no problems streaming from the internet, network drives, or either computer. Works great for me. There's a one click app for rooting. Usually it has to be clicked twice but works great as well as being able to add the play store very easily. Also amazon appstore.
With the last update OUYA added the ability to connect to your OUYA with a computer wirelessly and install apks with drag and drop. Personally I use es file explorer with a browsable Google drive to transfer files from any device to my OUYA.

XBMC was not made for it though

From what info that's online its standard android OS and that runs XBMC no problem. I was running XBMC on an android stick (imoto) and it ran well.
I'm using an ouya happily enough. Runs XBMC admirably plays 10 bit mkv, which is something of a gold standard to me. If you get the fire, please report if it will as well.
Plus I see to Fire is amazon prime. If your a prime user that may sway you, I'd expect it to show up on stock android shortly anyway.
Spec wise either will work well Fire looks slightly better. If i were upgrading, I'd want esata, more usb and ideally gigabit lan, Which neither devise supplies.
I really feel both devices are more limited by i/o then anything else.
Cubox looks good but I've no personal experience.
Got the fire Tv, and rooted it and Kodi'd it a while ago... Good decision I made

It's been discussed awhile back. Great app. I use it on my Fire TV 1. I think the keyboard doesn't work though, unless I just have an older version. Also, are you using it on the Fire TV 2? Was my understanding that it didn't work on the new Fire TV.
thanks
I use it on my fire stick..
Someone with a FTV 2 can give it a go and see how it works..
What I like about it on the stick is once you add the file explore in then it let's you ftp and or connect to a SMB easy enough to side load apps

OK, I have told the development team about that and hopefully they can get a fix for it..
Also they need to get the file explorer to see hidden folders so that it is useful for kodi userdata files..
I am using the stick here in Australia so all of the Amazon apps are a waste of time for me..
Unless I look into VPN type setup but I can't be bothered st this stage..
so apart from Kodi and a few other music streaming apps, its just pretty much just a plaything..
