Can somebody point me in the right direction of the best player to use in xbmc android please?

Ive got a MyGiga 510b box and using the latest xaf build of xbmc. Have been using mx player but it randomly keeps changing itself from h/w to s/w decoding and then starts films from the beginning again which is very frustrating!

Any help gratefully received :-)

XBMC on your box can do hardware decoding without an external player, so why on earth are you using one?

[si777]

Simply because the player stutters and takes a very long time to buffer which is annoying lol

you are not using hardware decoding

[si777]

How do I do that then?

Uninstall the XAF version (really! before you install the other!) and install this one:

Thank you! Really appreciate your help

Tried that one out and installed fusion and a few add ons ok but every time I play something it keeps coming out of xbmc and goes back to the last android app I used. What am I doing wrong

[davilla]

using an external player in the 1st place

Is there a way I can fix this please? Maybe restore to factory and do a fresh install of the mygiga firmware? I'm stumped

And regarding Installing external player, I was only following bad advice from people on the futeko forum

First a question to you. Do want to run your box simply as an xbmc media player or android with apps + xbmc?

[si777]

Purely xbmc is my main aim but just to get it working would be a massive bonus

[bluepeter]

OK, read this thread... http://www.futeko.com/forum/index.php?mo...ad&id=6294

Use the links within the thread and install Linux/xbmc... this will get you to a much smoother running box.

[si777]

Which thread??

[bluepeter]

Use the link in my post #13..... this will provide the links to download the s/w and explain how to do the install.
