the copy i got off of xda works perfect. its the 11/27 build thats is compatible with android 4.2. google xbmc android and click on the xda link. they are keeping semi nightly status going. also, the navi-x app works perfect! all the streaming option there are today (google play music) there is no need for a large internal memory imo
edit---
heres is the link to working copy

From the XBMC team:
Users should be aware that an update to Android 4.2 appears to have temporarily broken XBMC support for all you Nexus and Cyanogenmod users (and anyone else running 4.2). Beta3 should be right around the corner, and we hope to have a fix in place by the time that rolls out.
You can probably get it working using a nightly build but I'm holding out for Beta 3.
Yes ive been running xbmc since i got my tablet 2 weeks ago, its good that they are making it officially supported.
My experience has been that all SD content plays perfect. All 720p MKV's play perfect, so long as the audio is not DTS, if the audio is aac or Dolby Digital its fine, but DTS makes it go very choppy.
1080p MKV is just very very choppy.
I believe it is because the internal player is all SW encoded, if they turn on HW support then it should run perfect, judging by how well MX player plays with the DTS codec download.
XBMC 12 RC1 is out. No longer beta. Working perfectly on 4.2.

RC2 http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/android/xbmc-12.0-Frodo_rc2-armeabi-v7a.apk
There's a version of XBMC for Android (starting on January 18th, I think) tagged as hwaccel that has, reportedly, HW acceleration in many Android devices.
Does anybody know how to check if the Nexus 10 is included?
I'm running it. Works great! Checkb out this article. It states that xbmc will call up an external video player like mxplayer, and steam HD

No, I didn't mean that version with external player support.

Scanned all movies from my readynas. Seems to be working well so far. Just played with past 15 min.
I've tried 3 different builds. The new xaf build, the hardware accl version and the beta 3 from xbmc.org and all 3 have same effect. Using local files they play fine. But when I use navi x to stream them they audio and video stutters pretty bad. I'm using clean rom 1.1 and Franco v4.

whats the latest crew are using on their N10?
I'm using the latest official release directly from xbmc.org with the 1channel add on. It can't be beat!

I actually went with the pivos nightly build..
Seems to be running OK..
Used the hub to autoset the addons it comes with..
But with that being said, I do see a new android nightly so I might be daring and give it a whirl..
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/android/
Problems with addons for me on the 10/08 build..
Going to play with the monthly and see if any joy..
No joy..heading back to the pivos build..
The new builds are lightening fast with loading and navigation..
But scripts are not loading and its not allowing addons to access internet..
Which is a little painful as it will load in addons via fusion so its not access problems.
Anyway..looking forward to seeing these builds mature.

Man I'm loving the stable frodo build. The 1channel add on went through a little rough patch over the last day or so. Changing it domain from primewire to let me watch this fixed it. All my shows with subscriptions are working perfectly. Still can't believe something so polished and high performing is so cheap.

There is a good guide to setup on android devices for those that are new to XBMC.
http://www.xbmcandroid.com/2013/06/03/how-to-install-the-official-version-of-xbmc-for-android-then-configure-it-with-the-xbmc-hub-wizard-addon/
Also another little tip is to go in to programs XBMCHUB - Maintainnace -"Mantainance" - "download all UK plugins"
this will load a lot of the latest good plugins to add sites from.
total time for setup about 1/2hour.
Edit: So as not to double post..
heads up to this as well.. for those that dont have a Synology NAS and the programs that come with it..
I played with it last night and seems a nice way of Movie management.. brought the paid app to support the developer..
He has done a good job on it..

When i downloaded and installed Flash 10.2 it made my phone go a little haywire when it came to playing flash videos... So i had to use Titanium backup to restore 10.1.
If you need it and do not have it feel free
Note to mods:
Since Adobe is a free download i thought i'd throw this out there for people with the same problem. If you feel this should be removed feel free to.
Thanks! I just tried to watch a flash video to see if mine might work and no luck...so this is great!

I also had this problem when loading 10.2 from the market, but I remembered a thread here with a leaked version from a couple weeks ago that included a hulu version, so I unistalled 10.2 and then installed the 10.2 hulu from here and now everything is great, 10.2 plays so nicely now so I suggest giving it a try, I'm running CM7 RC2 heres the forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991694

Maybe you didnt read my post but it works fine on my glacier running cm7 rc2, even hulu using dolphin hd, but I guess if you're on a different rom you wouldnt know that? what works for some may not work for others and vice versa but for me using the hulu version of 10.2 here It works great, but then again i dont watch many youtube videos just Hulu and some other stream sites like jtv etc

I was on CM7 RC2 before i switched roms and i would get no sound with the hulu version and with the official 10.2 it would look messed up but with this rom the official works great and the hulu version still no sound :/.

maybe you didnt read my signature but it does not works fine on my glacier running cm7 rc2. The Flash 10.2 from the market would either play sound with a garbled video or the video would be smooth with no sound. I flashed back to 10.1 and it works flawlessly. That is why this thread is here for people to revert back to 10.1 if they want to. Not everyone (my self included) wants to run 1/2 baked custom .apks on their phones.
Thanks, just what I was looking for, flash update seemed to break most flash playback
i find alot of time when video doesnt work right if i change the resolution to 240 it plays perfect... thinking it has to do with my browser set to pc mode which puts resolution at 3xx. havent tested this but just a thought.
Works on CM7.1.0-Desire HD ROM ...
... on my HTC Inspire 4G when no version or hack of 10.2, or any version above that, would work.

thanks bro, works perfectly on miui

Flash has been converted to work for ARMv6 devices, such as the Legend!
Thread
Direct download link
Sideload it as you normally would, reboot, and it should work!
It's not really fully functional - my browser crashes if I try to play a YouTube video, for example - but it does work!
works so far here, didnt try games or anything like that.. coz that makes no sense for me
would adobe air also be possible and the games that need adobe air?

I can't install the .apk
'App isn't installed'
My device is S-ON could this be the reason?
Possibly - it's over 11MB, though, it could be a space issue? I think my phone was only having a fit because of space.
I doubt it's because you're S-ON, though, it's just an app.
I've tried it on my legend With CM7.0.3 rom, but it doesn't work very great, when I open web page from my local tv station with news, it just closes web browser and when I play larger clips from youtube, or similar pages, it often freezes and force closes.
A lot of fc , but in any oportunities works fine

It closes my browser when i try to watch online video (not in Youtube).
This + TinyShark (aka more or less grooveshark on android) = Perfect Win !

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I looked at the website and it says for tegra 2 devices you need to be on ICS. maybe that's why it's crashing for you guys since you are still on cm7
not yet. What does it do?
I'm on CM9 and I've tried it. It's neat, it plays all of the file types I would need it to. It looks nice as well. I'd still prefer to use PowerAMP for music though. I wish it had some kind of streaming/remote functionality so that I didn't have to have 2 or 3 VLC apps on my phone. Other than that, sure, it's great for videos. Don't really need it for music.
On stock Gingerbread and it opens and immediately force closes
on the atrix it opens and does nothing.
I originally found this on the N7000 forum.
If you have seen the ability to watch a video while doing another task for the Samsung Galaxy 3, then this is it.
Pretty much the same deal. Works well with the Note i717.
I am running the Hybrid ROM in Tablet mode and this app works great.
You can find this app in the Play Store. Here's a demo vid - copied link from app description.

The split screen ability in the Note 10.1 would be another great feature to have now...

Its an awesome app.
Btw, this app already comes pre-installed in the HYFR B4 ROM.
Is it safe for an app to collect a device's imei to their server? The EULA claims that it is used to verify the device. It is in the privacy policy.
thats similar to stickit..i have used for a while now.. idk which one is better though

OK all, while this app seams to have everything I would want it has one major thing I don't want LAG. just wondering is it doing this to everyone or just me? What I mean is this, when it plays a video it plays about 2 sec then buffers, but in the youtube app the same video will play with no issues. I am useinf the free version and have un installed and re installed it already. Also I am getting throttled speeds on ATT however as I have said youtube works just fine. Any ideas?

I haven't experienced any lag as of yet. Both on Flapjaxxx's UCLE2 and CM9.
@spade1031
No lag here and I'm still on FJ's GB ROM.
With more use I've noticed it seems to be only YouTube and only.the hd videos, any other site with hd works fine and the YouTube app with hd works fine. Might just be that I'm throttled, I'll post back after my new bill cycle and update. Just asking is anyone else throttled and working right? By the way I'm only getting hspa+ in my area. But still a GREAT app for anyone, thanks again for sharing.

Been playing with this for a couple days, pretty cool, no real issues to report on paranoid android.
Full screen low framerate

I am experiencing low frame rate when switching to full screen. When the video is floating, it's perfectly fine.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Full screen is perfectly fine.
This Will Works On All Jelly Bean Devices
I've been trying to install the JB AOSP browser for days but i cant mount the /system/app So i changed the CWM Browser replacer and added the Browser from JB 4.2.
This can be used if you dont want to go through all the steps in other guides or if you cant get access to /system/apps like me.
Steps
1 .Just download the attached zip file
2. flash it from your custom recovery.
It seems to be working fine if you have any trouble ill try to help
If you having problems with video player controls installing the attached flash player should fix the problem
Benchmarks:
The bechmarks are lower is better with the exception of V8 and HTML5 test
Sunspider, V8(higher is better), Kraken, HTML5 test
Chrome (stock) 1365ms, 3023, 11222ms, 390
AOSP 4.2 836ms, 3453, 9736ms, 298
I just did a quick and dirty video comparing AOSP to Chrome on The Verge. Please to excuse the crap quality, did it with my One X on the spur of the moment.

Check your apps for "Browser".
Installed this today. Did so pretty much because of the annoying chrome zoom issue for this site. Thanks!
