    Hello,

    I have been using my Raspberry Pi with RaspBMC for the past several weeks and am, overall, satisfied. It seems that whenever I run into a problem, it is only because there is not enough computational resources. I am wondering if there is a specialized XBMC build in the works for the Udoo, as well? Perhaps a prototype could be given to the XBMC community? It seems that the Udoo Dual or Udoo Quad would be a superb option for running XBMC with numerous add-ons.

    Furthermore, will the Udoo support TV tuners? I believe that RaspBMC supports tuners via the MythTV add-on, and I believe that, given enough time, similar support could be offered for the Udoo. I'm not sure who the correct person to contact in the XBMC community would be, but I'm sure some judicious research would yield profitable results. I am willing to spend some time doing the research, if asked. Currently, much of my time is taken by making some customizations for XBMC (RaspBMC) such that it fits my needs.

    Thanks for your time and the amazing product. I look forward to ordering several.

    One of our beta tester is working on this since a while now. Also the UDOO team has a XBMC build in the works and in both cases, we have XBMC working smoothly on UDOO, way much better compared on the Raspberry Pi.
    You could expect a XBMC build for UDOO to be released soon!

    Same here, I have XBMC installed on dual board running Android. Hell, the movies play back is slow. I guess it didn't using the GPU for decoding. Also, I have the quad board running Linux, don't know how to install XBMC on it. Please let me know how can I make use of the GPU for the movies play back.

    Did you use Android or Linux ?

    I think Linux would be better (better use of the HW)

    my xbmc debian configure flags are :
    --enable-gles --disable-sdl --disable-x11 --disable-xrandr --disable-openmax --disable-optical-drive --disable-dvdcss --disable-joystick --disable-debug --disable-crystalhd --disable-vtbdecoder --disable-vaapi --disable-vdpau --disable-pulse --disable-projectm --enable-optimizations --enable-libcec --enable-player=omxplayer

    i have tried android, but it doesn't work very well...
    now i have installed linux on udoo quad and waiting while xbmc is compiled.

    do you use the "Linaro Ubuntu 11.10" image for xbmc or have you build your own?

    thanks

    using the std image .. but there are many many many missing packages ..
    you will have to compile them on your self ..

    ... did you ever try a more current version of linaro ? .. 11.10 is about 2 years old

    Have been able to install XBMC on Android,
    Ubuntu still dependencies problems, unable to install
    But with the new image for Android from the donwload page from Udoo.org I got XBMC working.
    Original image with the Quad wasn't working at all.
    Speeds seems normal, through SMB client, NFS is slow, but only tested with avi xdiv divx and mkv.
    But it is a start.

    Copying system files to /usr/share/xbmc
    Copying bindings to /usr/include/xbmc

    ... but i cant run it :/
    it says :
    CAESinkOSS:EnumerateDevicesEx - No OSS mixer device present : /dev/mixer
    Error: Failed to open the audio device : /dev/dsp

    .. i dont know anything about udoo gui + audio devs .. so it think that i cant do anything here, except waiting for some udoo devs to tell me what to do :D

    Greetings

    There are some Freescale Multimedia patches/drivers I think. I've not looked into it that closely so couldn't be more specific than that but might be suitable for you if you don't stick to the stock Linaro Ubuntu provided.
