There are several similar threads in other device forums so I thought why not start one here. If the mods think this is in the wrong section or a bad idea please delete.
We can also use this thread for the development of XBMC for Transformer if anyone is up to making a Transformer specific build.
Okay so as of the time of this posting there is no "Transformer XBMC" specific version so I'm using one of the generic builds. "xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20120714.apk" is the name of the one I found. Link
Works:
Nothing - It crashes back to home screen after launching.
Bugs:
That's it for now. I'll keep monitoring this thread and post updates to the OP if possible.
I should note that this same apk works for my Galaxy S3 and my wifes EVO 4g with little to NO problems.
Same problem here, works on galaxy note and tab 10.1, transformer simply dies on launch...

It's not a bad idea but should be in apps and not development. Seeing there is no development just bug reports.

@bkmo - Good point. Can a mod please move this to the correct section? Thanks.
As far as development goes I was hoping that maybe we could use this thread to attempt to compile xbmc from source for Transformer. I've compiled on other platforms before but I have no experience with Android.
Anyway maybe an actual developer would be better suited to post a thread on xbmc development.
Check General section i had already started a thread for XBMC on TF101 maybe we can continue there

according the the xbmc wiki http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_for_Android_specific_FAQ#Installing.2Fgetting_XBMC_for_Android tegra2 devices will not be supported.
NOOOOOOO!
It works perfectly on my Rezound and my friend said it works on his TF201 but looks horrible.
It doesn't work because the Tegra 2 doesn't support Neon instruction set. The chances of it ever working on a Tegra 2 are slim to none.
That news is a bummer...

Its quite sad but I personally i dont think id have much use for it on my tf. Im running XBMC on my original xbox and I dont think you could get a better inexpensive media centre
You definitely can and it's a Raspberry Pi with Android or Linux The original Xbox doesn't seem to support anything higher than 480 because the processor can't handle the load, I've tried.

Yeah and you can't even find them anywhere. I've been on the official list for months. I have 3 original xbox's at home running XBMC but for all my HD media I have several apple TV 2's running XBMC. It rocks!
I can think of several applications for running XBMC on my transformer. For one, my kids can watch all my HD media from my local server rather than deal with Netflix's crappy lack of selection.
Check out this kickstarter project: Equiso smart TV. I'm thinking of pledging for one and hopefully XMBC will run on it.
Works great on HTC one X. I was able to download video add-ons, get weather etc. Only issue I had was tiny keyboard, had to use a touch pen. I have big hands lol.

When is Android getting a Netflix app that supports streaming?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
iOS and WP7 have it? Why not Android?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I have a Netflix account that begs to be streamed on my 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab.
My Tab works fine with several video streaming sites - but Netflix refuses to install directly from their web site...saying that my device is not supported.
I understand the process. But I'm growing a strong resentment of Netflix's attitude about this whole thing. They imply that they just haven't certified that the Galaxy Tab is compatible with their streaming service. Yet many comparable android devices are. Sheesh, how long could it take to check that out?
I have a feeling that Netflix has made a deal somewhere to delay or obfuscate the use of devices competitive to the iPad (or maybe some other tablet). Who knows?
But it is frustrating to say the least.
i had read somewhere that netflix did not want to release it until all problems were worked out, and since there are many different versions of Android (EVO, DESIREHD, NEXUS) they wanted to have a universal. To say the least android required more from the dev team. Should be out very soon, but if not im sure there are leaks somewhere.
Hey folks,
I'm looking to replace my home Windows PC with an Android PC (ice cream sandwich or newer). I have a 23" Touchscreen monitor from Dell that I'd like to incorporate if possible.
So, basically I'm looking for a tablet, but I don't need the screen (like a desktop pc). The closest thing I could find was the MK802 Android on a Stick device. This is very cool, but since they were so focused on making it small, it seems like it's a bit under-powered. Videos I've seen of it show stutter. Are there any other similar devices but with more power (preferrably Tegra 3 or at least Tegra 2 or Snap Dragon)? It's fine if it's large...I don't need portability.
Note: I checked out the Android x86 project, with the idea being that I'd just install Android on my PC. But I don't have the specific computers they support.
Worst come worst, I'll buy an Android Tablet and hook up the external display, but seems like most of the money will be wasted on display and form factor, both of which I don't need.
Thanks!
Android-x86 is your best option IMO

Thanks. Like I said though...they only support like 5 or 6 pcs, none of which I have.
I'm really just looking for something like the MK802, only more powerful...and larger is fine too.

They work on any PC, just pick the one that's closest. I run the Asus_laptop one on my Acer D255 netbook

Oh cool! And actually I may be in luck anyway. I have an AMD Fusion/Zacate board. Apparently (I didn't realize), that's apart of AMD Brazos series, for which there is an Android-x86 iso for. Just made my USB boot stick and will try when I get home.

I did and it seems very promising. I just came across 2 issues which I posted about in the following thread:

If I can resolve those issues (crossing fingers), it'll be my new htpc.
Hi All,
I have the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity and installed the full working XBMC App.
There are some issues with the app. The keyboard on the dock is not fully working. Some keys are doing other things than they must do.
Is there someone who are smart enough to look into this and optimize the XBMC app fully for the TF700 Tablet?
If someone want pick this up i can share the .APK file from my dropbox
Cheers,
Peter

Interesting to hear. I use Plex and works well on it. Although, they have a good head start on the mobile side on things compared to XBMC.
More on topic, maybe you should report your findings in the XBMC forums on the nightlies

Plex for Android also the full working one.. on Tablet? I want try that also but can't find it on the net... grrr
Yes i will report it on the XMBC forum... this kind of media center apps makes your tablet a real machine
Plex for Android works on the infinity. It's the same design as the phone, since it's the app. I don't recall if it had that zoom function as other phone apps, but it looked good and worked well. But it was updated for Android 4, so it's not really a design for phone versus tablet.
Hi there
I'm looking to buy one of these and assumed that as there's an XBMC apk is available, I'd be able to install it onto the tab. I think I'm wrong
I'm a noob at android, I admit it. I installed XBMC on the family iPad before and I'm usually good at learning quickly but android is very different and over the last few days I've really tried to learn everything possible and just need some answers.
Apparently these tabs are not 'neon' (whatever that means?) but the Tab 2 7.0's are so I downloaded this in preparation of buying the 10.1. Is this right?
http://xbmc-android....c29df60974d.apk
Will I be able to use XBMC on the tab? Are these tabs powerful enough to stream large videos online?
Any help will be so much appreciated, I can't explain! Thank you so much

I tried it on my SGT2 7 3113 ages ago , was very buggy but I'm sure its a lot better now. Not really sure if your tab is supported or not ? The link above is for the XDA thread , Im sure the devs will give you a definitive answer and all the advice you could ever need. :good:
EDIT :
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500) ? : http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Android_hardware
Xbmc does not yet support hardware decoding under android, so a large majority of videos will not playback well.

Thank you both for your replies. Much appreciated.
Sean, I check that thread and posted in there. I got some indication from them too. Apparently these *are* in fact 'Neon', but I can try both non and neon to test them.
The model I was going to get is GT-P5110.
Thank you for your time to reply to someone who hardly has a clue. I'm learning Appreciate it.
You will be greatly disappointed for the performance.
It hiccups like no tomorrow even with VGA (SD) TV while I have no problem playing it on Galaxy Tab Plus and S3.
I think GTab 2 has problem with stock kernel (got no more than 3000 on Quadrant and 2D is terrible). Playing Angry Birds has hiccup too.
I personally do !
Yup.
Ditto.:good:
While they share the same features the Tablet has substantially different hardware and therefore should defiantly get its own board.
Hardware is vastly different. We very much need our own board.
Yeppers
Yes I do
There must be another way to get devices added. The Galaxy alpha got a board added without all the requests the Shield tablet got.

Yes, it's own board (or at least have a Shield board with separate categories for each Shield device).
I haven't been on XDA for a bit. I just purchased the shield tablet and decided to see what the people here had to say about it and how happy they were with their tablets. I was very surprised to find that there was not a specific section for the shield tablet. Not only did it not have its own section, it doesn't even have its own subsection in the game consoles and handhelds section. Seriously? Everyone and their brother that has even heard of this device knows that it is first and foremost a tablet. it does everything a tablet is supposed to do. so why doesn't it have its own section like the lg g pad or the galaxy tab s? most if not all of the other tabs could add a controller and call it a gaming device. I think its silly not to have a dedicated section for this device and I hope it gets taken care of soon.
Can we ask a mod/admin to open a separate forum.
Once they realize how successful this tablet is even with all the problems like WiFi and cracked edges they will open a separate forum
I am waiting patiently for the 32gb version to be released hopefully all the issues will be resolved or revised if not at least the low storage won't be the reason to not keeping it
This is and will be the most powerful tablet of 2015 why because everyone is jumping to the Super high resolution wagon not realizing it's not necessary and that makes no sense other than competing with other companies I am glad Nvidia pick this resolution and aspect ratio because the shield is easy to use and media looks perfect on it
At the same time I am bummed out they didn't developed an attachment controller to make this the perfect gaming device wii u game pad and vita killer but at least other companies are working on that and ipega already have one out hopefully is good to make the shield a perfect experience
this is the ipega http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe35iqKY5to
