When it comes to Android, quad-core, dual-core, octa-core doesn't mean squat in XBMC if hardware acceleration is not supported. If you're using XBMC Frodo 12.x. Make sure the device you're getting supports libstagefright. If you're using XBMC Gotham, then it's easier since MediaCodec support is built in.

Another thing to lookout for is does it really support 1080P, or just doing upscaled 1080P. This is where it gets confusing since some players run XBMC UI in 720P while videos are played at 1080P. Easiest way to tell? Bring a 720P and 1080P test pattern in USB stick and try it before you buy.

The supported hardware table goolias posted is good place to start to find compatible hardware.

Also I would suggest going to FreakTab's forums. They have a quite active discussions there especially for RockChip-based players.

XBMC Frodo 12.3 overall works fine in Q5ii
I own the unit, using latest firmware version 1.0.5, most of the problems have been somehow ironout such as online playback lagging, long buffering.
However, when it comes to play 720p movies via local network, the lack of hardware acceleration did affect the playback performance, you will notice lagging and sometimes sound delayed. Worst still if there are panning or zoom in shot in fast sequence, noticeable lag.
According to xbmc forum, the HiSilicon manufacturer support libstagefright on Android is crucial in enabling the hardware acceleration in Q5ii, else the problem will remain.

I think also using HiSilicon chip, but Q10ii comes with bigger flash memory, and can fit in HDD.

Experimental XBMC Gotham release with modified playercorefactory.xml file
your all might want to give a try:

Custom playercorefactory.xml show below, they fix is calling the built-in himedia player for playback in XBMC, . Use Himedia Player for local playback, DVD, while MXPlayer for internet streaming.

As I have mentioned my setup consists of the following:

2 units ATV2 jailbroken - awesome
1 unit OUYA - also awesome in 1080p

Basically any Quadcore will do as dual core will never have enough juice to run XBMC and WILL always have problems like lag, hang and FC

BTW I also have 2 units of Himedia collecting dust

I m interested to know where did you bought Ouya? Dun think there is any reseller in M'sia, yes, no?

If IINM, RK3066 and AMLOGIC chipset based android player is supported.
I know Minix series run RK3066, not sure which player support AMLOGIC.

Thank you for the heads up with the link, I'll update at the 1st page to those looking to install XBMC into their android box in term of chipset compatibility. This is good start in choosing the right one before installing XBMC into it nod.gif

The last nightly build before this one still have a couple of bugs with the PVR plugins. Otherwise it's usable.

Ouya 8G version Now on sale in Ipmart.com.my

US selling USD99 you may said it's expensive but don't forget the shipping from US to M'sia so I think RM499, exclude shipping seem reasonable. yes?no?
