i'm actually curious to know how do we end up with a .m3u8 file to be streamed ? did we get it off from a rtmp:// link that saves it into a offline .m3u8 file ?

fyi... a fork of xbmc called spmc now available directly from googleplay.

Nice share especially for those who can't or would rather not side-load apps. I've heard of it for awhile, supposed to be smoother than the official version but haven't gotten around to testing it yet on my hardware. "Beyond XBMC" is also another good option, works smoothly too.

i tried it briefly. don't seem to be any different.

but i did notice with this version, my android could accept hardware acceleration media-codec.

i also notice this spmc 13.3.2 is 20mb smaller than gotham 13.2, perhaps some redundant files removed...

lastly, this spmc will co-exist with xbmc, so it will take up quite a bit of space, unless u uninstall xbmc.

been on spmc since early release as it works on my OUYA and FireTV very well.
Even on my Nexus 7 2013 the crackling sound was addressed

like to explore a bit on this crackling sound thingy...

in my case...

1. in setting-systems-audio, default is passthru deactivated, dd/dts deactivated.
with that, only stereo sound, whether hdmi to tv to avr.

enable pass thru, activate dd and dts:
2. if hdmi connected to tv, digital audio to avr, the tv sound cracks but avr delivers normal dd/dts.
3. if hdmi connected to avr, avr to tv, no cracking.

i like 2. since i dun wish to power on avr as in case 3 all the time as many files are just 2.0 and few dd/dts these days. but this gives cracking sound when i want to play a file that is dd/dts. so, end up set to 1 normally.

this has been the case for a long time, frodo or gotham. spmc does not help, same result.

is there a way to set 2, but no cracking sound (other then turning tv vol to zero) like playback a file from usb?

can you or anyone shed some like on this? thanks.

More and more 3D movies been deleted from mashup, have to download it from yify. But I am much prefer to watch it via streaming in XBMC.

Massive crackdowns happening... Luckily, practically impossible to take down torrents completely.

that's what i noticed. icefilms, yify, daily flix all affected.
even tv series only hugefiles and secureload (which doesnt work) offer 720p.
so few dd/dts stuff.
at this rate, xbmc will become pretty meaningless.
who wants to spend 3 min to do captcha and then maybe get an sd show!
yep, warning from inventor/founder of www, sir tim berners lee.
gomens want control, corps want profits:

so, long live torrents!

here, as i suspected, those guys aren't going away any time soon alto they announce they're quitting.
this one works with torrent, can play on vlc, marvellous.
been playing hide and seek, i think...
for mac, windows, linux, this one is good:

Could try http://popcorn-time.se/

yep, thanks, got it.

the pc version is much better - selection of resolutions - 480p, 720p, 1080p.
can set default subs.
can stream to vlc player for better control.
only thing is no hd audio.
well, still betas...
still, if it survives, will give xbmc a run for the "money"!

For movies and TV series yes but not for live streaming
Works well on Mac and cast to AppleTV also

seems that arena not working anymore... anybody can help to decrypt it

http://www.layarku.tv/arena.html

It's working just that not on XBMC

yeah... need someone to decrypt it since the decrypted url working fine for bernama and awani

i luv this popcorn,really good,running very smooth,full hd movies.

Thanks for pinning this

I am having trouble adding the Malaysia live channel on my Android and would appreciate if anyone could point some guide on where I make the mistakes as below...

1. Installing livestream
2. Go To MyXML under MASH UP.
3. Click Add Playlist
4. Select Mash Up using filemanager
5. Select the tv.xml(from post 466)
6. Then cancel for both thumbnail and fanart.
7. When click the playlist or livestream, nothing happen...

pc or android, u get 720p or 1080p.
good stable streams.
new movies, old movies, plenty.
i think they r all bdrips 0.8-3gb, 2.0 audio with some 1.0.
for movies n tv series vod, it is easier to use and more reliable than xbmc.
my old android with small memory can only play 720p but a newer one with bigger memory can play 1080p, so it's good.
using much less xbmc now.

Any recommended video & audio settings for xbmc Gotham? Have installed gotham recently but seems like so many settings
