I downloaded XBMC to my Shield yesterday and set some of the stuff up... today, I'll see if I can get it to work and will let you know!
I have not tried XBMC however Plex works great.
xbmc here http://xbmc.org/download/
Navi x addon here https://code.google.com/p/navi-x/downloads/list
If it works on my 12 other android devices I'm sure it works here as well

xbmc steaming works near flawlessly for me. Better than ouya or apple tv 2 wireless.

No, but I plan to when I get home from work, I'll report back with my findings.
I tried XBMC just now, and it couldn't play a 1080p mkv on my local network very well, I'm guessing it wasn't using hardware decoding. I was just using the regular Android apk provided on the xbmc website.
Ok then try the neon or non neon .apk files here and the mplayer video player

The Desire HD/Inspire unfortunately do not support HDMI out.
They were designed to use DLNA for all video out.
could you guys forward me to tutorials or information on any hardware/software i need?

This is your best bet if your TV does not support DLNA streaming:

There could be cheaper alternatives though.

Is there a certain app in the Android Market that could do this using perhaps a PS3?

Thanks - just tried it and it works well.
This is what u need:
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=207010
HTC Desire HD Media Link DLNA Adaptor.
Media Link is a DLNA multimedia adaptor converting your non-DLNA TV into a full DLNA certified TV.
Simply power on and connect to the HDMI port on your TV, Desire HD will be able to wirelessly stream video/movies (up to 720p), photo, and music content stored on the device to DLNA-enabled HDTVs or to standard HDTVs via its new Media Link adapter with HDMI out.
There's a pretty nice app on the market called Androidvideo Recharged. It has many tv shows to stream to Android. It doesn't use flash, so it is compatible on more devices than most streaming apps.
Cheers , but I do prefer Icestream.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.icestream
It can't be beaten, and its free.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
Regards
IceStream uses flash though, and just links to other sources on the internet that you can go directly to on your browser.. They can be removed at any time also. Androidvideo has their own servers and can ensure that videos won't randomly be removed.

Don't forget to tell everyone that the app is free but you have to pay to watch anything.
I prefer SPB TV, it has not that many channels, but enough for me, and it's free.

You don't have to pay to watch anything. What are you talking about. They do have a premium membership but they also have free videos. If your not smart enough to figure that out, maybe you.shouldn't be on XDA.

Ice stream isn't even on the market anymore and none of the links on my version of the app work anymore nor have they for weeks. Least with androidvideo, when they have a server problem, they have their videos back up within days, not weeks.

I use IceStream as well for Android on my Tablet and Phone.. quite nice... although sometimes with MoboPlayer it crashes , It plays well with MX Video Player .. Too bad its been removed from Market and its no longer on the dev's website either... not sure why.. probably a C & D .

I also installed it but it wasn't working properly...screen was flickering and my mp3 files refused to play....uninstalled until a better version is released.
I tested the 07-26-12 and the 07-30-12 with my HOX and TF700, HOX wouldn't work any more (did work with the 07-20-12 release) but TF700 works fine (as in: it plays video's choppy.. no hardware support, but music is fine)

I've had pretty good luck with it, but have only tried a few videos. I'm not a huge fan of the touchscreen skin they include, but its a start. I think the default skin almost works better. I hope they get the keyboard shortcuts working, as that would be nice with the dock (i've long had them memorized).
It will be nice if more people come out with android/touchscreen specific skins.

which one would you say was more stable? Because when I tried to use it on my TF700 the screen kept flickering at the home screen of xbmc...
Atm none, they're too early in development to actually use.

What is the build you have installed?
I have 2012-09-04 now... Some MKV files will now work. Lots of hickups (now i use MX Player for MKV)
Yes mkv gave me stuttering buy the files i streamed were mp4 if i remember right. Im using that version as well. They say most of the problems with the stuttering is the lack of the hw drivers...or something to that extent

What rom/kernel are you on? I'm on Synergy and it would flash back to the home screen using the default (Ziggie's) kernel. I switched to Lean Kernel, and it worked. I haven't watched a full movie yet, but it appeared to work ok. Did you install MX Player as instructed?

I never terry it, but i tried it, works great with allshare cast dongle.....:silly:
Ok so I have the neon versions. All videos (tmz, news, wimp.com) play well except for full tv or movies from icefilms and project free tv. Icefilms stays stuck trying to load a list of movies and project free either gets stuck loading in the mx player when I try play a movie or tv show, or it'll play with tons of buffer issues, I'm talking every couple of seconds

Still on the non neon version and it works perfect for me.
I'm thinking There's just something wrong with those particular channels like Icefilms.

Ice film is working perfect for me though. After I installed non neon MX and non neon XBMC I opened MX Player and downloaded the codec it wanted me to download. After that I closed it out and opened XBMC. Acted a little funny. Went to application manager forced stopped MX player and cleared data, did the same to XBMC. After clearing everything out I then opened MX Player again, closed out and opened XBMC. Everything seems to be working perfectly.
Edit: Could it be your signal? When I drive to Orlando it says I have 4G but its weak as hell. Lags while watching videos. This is around Waterford Lakes Town Center.
Well I've only tried it on Wi-Fi, 4g is great for me. I get close to 3mb a second

Both running 4.2.2 android. Just would like a netflix that works with remote or way to control it from my phone.
