I have 2400 Feature length videos, and several thousand more 30-60min videos. It seemed to get up to 1844 Feature length in the scan but couldn't go further. Turned off scan at start up, initiated scan through UI and it finished adding the rest of the collection.

Have you tried reducing the elements used in the skin, to see if it requires less RAM usage to catalog your 2,400 videos?

For example, if you were to disable FanArt, Media Flags (the icons showing 720p, AC3, etc). I suppose the data being stored in memory may be the same none-the-less, I just wondered if it would make any difference.

Also, for outright performance, but not memory, you could also disable Visualizations. But I don't think this is an issue, just throwing it out there.

I have a G-Box midnight 2.2, and before I set up Autostart to load XBMC 1 minute after the G-box Midnight booted up which worked fine.

(2014-04-04, 20:59)thess Wrote: A little different (you don't always get the green screen, but usually), either green screen followed by blank screen with audio, or just blank screen with audio, until you skip forward. And then you'll either get 'loads of artifacts, especially if OSD is up', or non-smooth playback to some extent.

To install XBMC (I'm using the latest Frodo build), I followed these instructions:

1. https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/asb/connect-adb.html
2. https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/asb/app-install.html

I plugged in my Logitech K400. Keys and mouse both appear to work fine.

In my setup, I have a couple HDHomeRuns tuned to an OTA antenna. My house is wired with gigabit ethernet. I'm using MediaPortal to supply PVR functionality to XBMC clients throughout the house. So, the first thing I wanted to test was live TV. I've read lots of concerns about mpeg2 and Live TV support... I'm happy to report that it works!

My EPG data imported and displayed fine. Live TV HD channels work fine. Recordings of HD channels play fine.

Next, I plan on importing my movies and tv shows from a networked machine. Most of them are ripped DVDs in mp4 format. I'm not expecting to have any issues.

I might try the latest Gotham build over the weekend. That's all for now!
