I am interesting in OUYA because it has a slim body. I dont want to play video game on it. The only thing I want to do is to play movie. I have a lot of movies stored in my laptop. The current way that I use is to connect my laptop to HDTV by HDMI. Can OUYA replace my current method? I can play 720P movie(MKV or RMVB) on my cellphone(Galaxy note 2). Ouya has the same equipment(Tegra3 with 1.7G). So I think it can play 720P movie smoothly like my cellphone. Did anyone here try playing moive on OUYA?
Yes the ouya plays 720p movies well. I use xbmc at the time. I was thinking about the ouya or the raspberry pi and I am glad I bought the ouya. The ouya, for my use and purposes, is an awesome media center. The internal storage is small but it has a usb port. Xbmc has support for a network attached storage (nas) which is what I use. The ouya also has the added benefit of games. For only $99.99, I recommend the ouya for your current situation. It also has low power usage and it is highly portable.

if you want to use your ouya exclusively as mediacenter you can start xbmc with a autorun-app, don't know what it's called tho.
only culprit is that the button layout isnt quite optimal when using ouya controller but i'm using my cellphone with yatse installed and as a media-solution this couldn't be any better.
not only 720p but even 1080P movies (shared from my nas) are being played like a charm and if you*'e into 3D the ouya should be able to handle most formats, too...but didn't try that, since my tv doens't support it

Ouya can play 1080P movie? It sounds great. My laptop doesn't support 1080P very well. Not smooth. If ouya really can play 1080P movie(MKV) smoothly,it really exceeds my expectations.

i didn't have any issues with fullhd-mkvs yet. for all i know there are some culprits with surround sound, but didn't notice anything major up to now.
you can without any problem plug your sd card reader/usb-harddrive/etc to your ouya. the device will be mounted to /media/usb
if you want you could even use a dvd-drive for your ouya, as long as you are willing to compile the needed module for your kernel.
didn't try it yet, but atrix with tegra 2 was able to do this, so ouya with tegra 3 should be able, too
Will work fine. Look at getting a flirc device, so you can configure media centre remote to use with xbmc

Or use Yatse from your phone/tablet which gives you many more controls and features.

Short answer: Better get an raspberry pi with Openelec.
Longer Answer:
yes, i do have 2 and did use one as mediaplayer using mostly XBMC (connected to a linux fileserver) at my home and using it with VLC when beeing at my girlfriends place with an 2TB HD.
Unluckily i really cant recommend it atm because the XBMC version for android/ouya is still lacking CEC support, means you cant use your TVs remote for controlling it and it cant do AC3 audio passthrough over HDMI (if i remember correctly). The XBMC for android still cant play a lot of movie files my Raspberry PI does play without problems. Therefore it makes a much better media player if its ok for one to not use the most fancy XBMC Skins. (I recommend Bello Skin)
In addition to this the Ouya lacks support for direct flashing and a lot of poeple find the companies politics highly questionable. The not acceptance of the last TOS locked my Ouya Console completely and not just the market. Its softbricked now. It has been sold as an "open" project but turns out to be as closed as "a nuns arse". Therefore its unluckily unlikely that we will see an Openelec port for the Ouya. Someone did port Debian to Ouya so there might be a solution using Debian and XBMC but AFAIK there are not all drivers and libs working atm.

cheers,
Tycho
Dont mean to be rude but i dont think you are objektive here.
I dont know what files you are unable to play but i am using mine a lot for Multimedia and didnt have any issues with audio at all. I know that some special dts Formats are incompatible for now.
Surly there are some things about ouya that many of us don't like but that's not the point here. Some are codec support and cec which are still under construction and might always be, but seriously: raspberry?
I really wouldn't want to have such a laggy interface and long folder loading times.
If you really want sth fully compatible with all major Codecs and cec and so on get a finished product like little black box or sth similar. Else be happy to have sth. to tinker with.

Losing faith if I'm honest. I have been giving this project my backing because it seemed to have an enthusiastic following.
I'm not sure there is the focus on the issues that matter to ME, I'm not sure how many people wanted this little box specifically for XBMC but I suspect it was a few. I know the DTS/AC3 issue is an XBMC problem and nothing to do with OUYA but the several other little niggles that affect it are not being addressed.
I think I am going to sell it, I am done waiting for it.. the time multi audio is comming if it even is comming the ouya will be old. The lack of support and community is the other reason.

Ok what I experienced so far is this :
Normally I have my ouya plugged into my TV which is set up to pass aby audio signal through to my home cinema center via optical output. There I never had any issues up to now. Lately I had plugged the ouya into the TV of our bedroom and with xbmc I get audio issues as well.
But vlc and I guess plex as well are able to play ball those files without any issue.
So i guess it's also up to your setup which audio technologies are supported.

I use xbmc on ouya and I have dts and DD passthrough at least on my sony 5.1 home theater. It seems that it depend also from your home theater and/or TV as if you connect the ouya directly to TV and TV doesn't have audio pass through, it will work only analog 2 channel audio.
Good to see someone agreeing to my experiences.

Really? Xbmc on ouya can decode DTS and output 5.1 channels to home theater? I saw a lot of people complained of decoding DTS failure. Be honest, I am frustrated when I saw these comments, because I just ordered one from Amazon and I have a lot of 720P DTS MKV movies. My original thoughts is that connecting ouya to 5.1 home theater. I did saw ouya can output 2.0 or 5.1 surround sound effects on their website. Hoping XBMC V13 could be more perfect.
For some ppl it is working indeed, by switching of amp and turn it on again.
But not for everyone... When I try it I just get same static noise as before...
I never had 5.1 working whatever I tried.
Tried several options in xbmc but it would not change anything

Ouya can decode DTS mkv, I just tested it and my home theater received a PCM audio stream (analog settings on xbmc audio output) and then tested the same mkv with digital signal pass through to my home theater (digital HDMI audio output in xbmc settings) that decoded it fine.
Only thing is that if ouya decode the DTS signal, I have PCM 2 channels audio, if my home theater decode it, I have DTS 5.1 channels audio (my HT is only 5.1).
For the records, I use xbmc 13.0 alpha6 from july 14 2013.

You get static noise because your ouya is passing through the digital signal to your TV or HT to decode the signal. And clearly your receiver is not able to decode the audio stream. You have to change the audio setting output of xbmc to "analog" in order to let xbmc decode it before sending it out to your TV or HT.

Before testing galaxy s2 I had galaxy s. I used to test allshare on galaxy s, and it was playing mkv files no problem from my pc. Today I tryed to play mkv on galaxy S2 and it cannot play it!! I didn,t like galaxy s allshare player because it lacked aspect ration etc. But this is insane! It can play 1080p and cannot play same files using allshare, shame on you samsung. Very disappointed, they are ruining such an amazing and powerful device with such things. Doss they even know about this?

I have an 40" led tv from Sony with dlna, and I can't stream any movies from my phone to tv.

DLNA is a bit of a farce and one of the areas where Apple has absolutely nailed how it should work with AirPlay. With DLNA, you appear to be entirely at the mercy of the manufacturers regarding what formats you can stream.
I also have a Sony LED TV that supports DLNA. The TV itself is capable of playing AAC audio and H.264 MP4 video files - plug in a USB drive and away you go. However, it will only receive MP3 and MPEG2 streams via DLNA, meaning that half my music collection and all my videos can't be streamed.
Judging by this, there are very few formats that DLNA devices have to support. In fact, MP3 is even listed as one of the "optional" formats. Until the DLNA organisation mandates that commonly used formats such as AAC, MP4 and so on must be natively supported, it's going to continue to be a complete mess.
Incidentally, the link above also states that the transmitting device should transcode media into a format understood by the receiving device if the receiving device doesn't natively understand the format. As impractical as this is to do when the transmitting device is a phone, All Share should be doing this to be completely DLNA compliant.
Philips 32PFL9603 is supporting DLNA but which formats is supporting? Do you know that?
Cmon. Let's contact samsung and tell them to fix and improve their allshare. Right now it is useless.

never streamed TO the phone, but with SGS i was able to stream FROM the phone without any problems using allshare. with GS2 however, that is not possible for .mkv files, just says unable to play format...
Really happy with allshare.
There is no other app with the same features AFAIK.
I have a server running minidlna and it picks it up quickly and even seeks and resumes media when multitasking.
In my experience other manufacturers dlna implementations are pitiful in comparison. Count yourself really lucky, I do.

The "unable to play format" message is because whatever you're streaming to doesn't support the file type. The only thing that Samsung can do is to implement transcoding in AllShare to convert files that are unsupported on the rendering device into one of the base DLNA formats that all DLNA devices must support. This would be very battery intensive on a mobile device, particularly when transcoding HD files.

I agree with you that AllShare is a pretty nice app to use, but the fact still remains that even with a great front-end on your phone, you can still be hampered by the DLNA implementation on the rendering device (in my case, my TV).

Yes of course, I totally agree. But that's a problem with your TV, allshare cannot do anything to compensate for a poor implementation on the rendering device. Such is the nature of DLNA.
I also agree it should render mkv, my samsung TV does, well if you rename the file to .avi it does.
For an android dlna renderer though it is still unsurpassed.
You people are saying that my tv cannot render mkv? But it can! It rendered the same file with old galaxy s dlna, from flashdrive, from the same dlna server on my pc. So there is samsung galaxy s2 that buggeres around.

Remember that MKV is just a container format; the video and audio codecs in use can vary from one file to the next and it's possible that only some of those codecs are supported by your TV.
If you're telling me that you can stream a file from your Galaxy S but you can't stream the exact same file from your Galaxy S II then I'd agree that there's an issue with AllShare on the S II.
Also, as I've found out with my TV, there can be differences between what a device can play from a flash drive and what it can play via DLNA!

Technically, it could transcode the media, but that's a dumb solution (albeit the only one that fits within the DLNA spec). As for that being the nature of DLNA, you're completely correct, which is why it's so much poorer than AirPlay.
Galaxy S with firmware 2.1 could stream using allshare, after an update it cannot either.
I recorded a video with the SGS2 and was able to stream it to a Sony Bravia TV with AllShare.
A day later I tried the same and the SGS2 said 'file could not be played'.
I found out, the cause for this was the Kies software. It converted all my movies from "video/mp4" to "video/3gpp" automatically. The "video/3gpp" is not supported by my TV so it could not be played.
Try opening a video in the SGS2 standard videoapp and open menu->details
what's under 'format' ?
if it says 3gpp, try converting it back to mp4 (xmediarecode can do this without really recoding everything) and send it again to the tv.

I bought this tablet for two things.
I cannot save money.
My girlfriend moved four states away (NY to VA) and I wanted something to do while on the train for 7 hours. I did nothing on it for 14 hours total but watch movies (OTG cable) and play solitaire. It does both awesome!
Screen is great, headphone jack is nice. If the 10" was cheap I would buy one too!
Battery life while watching movies isn't stellar, however nothing is
Best small portable movie player I know of.
Use headphones in a noisy environment - helps the sound a lot.
I am fond of MxPlayer from the app store - plays .avi movies (ripped DVD format) without converting.
I also happen to think it's perfect for watching movies - having used both a phone and Xoom for comparison. I think the 7" form factor is perfect for tablets since you can comfortably hold the thing in one hand.

Works great for movies, when rooted you can use an OTA cable and stickmount and play off external storage. However, I think external storage taxes the battery a bit more than on-board storage.
Root, stickmount, MXPlayer, VLC, and you're set.
Use dice player. Or mobo player best two video apps on android. On my 16gb ver without ocing I can play 720p h264 flac or aac audio with subs without any issues what so ever with dice player. As 720p h264 with flac or aac is really taxing and you need a high end device and the nexus7 fitted that to the T. smooth frame rate none or extremely little frame skip is not really noticeable at all unless you are looking for it and even if you are its hard to notice.
Best experience with video watching to date for me with android devices. Droid x2 was OK in the video department cause it had the tegra 2 and the dinc2 is just pathetic with its adreno 205. But this nexus7 plays videos much better them my own laptop. And my laptop is not really a pushover either. 380 dedicated vram, 4gb of ram, 1 tb 5400rpm HDD, dual core 1.9ghz turion (sp?). And this thing does the job either the same or little bit better or little bit worse depending on the video file. So far I have 1 video that won't play. But I think it was encoded improperly because only my PC with cccp with mpc can play it with no problems.
But highly recommended. And especially with dice and mobo player it should be hard to find and issues.

Both of the free movies I've had (Transformers: DOTM and Ice Age) play fine via HDMI. I've not purchased or rented any other content so I can't comment further than that.
I'm on rooted 4.2.1, but it works fine unrooted too.
I've noticed though that the previews play as a mirrored screen, whereas the actual movies play as an additional external display with the tablet display having the video controls on.
I'm in the UK if it helps at all; not sure if its worth tracking to see if it's an issue only affecting certain countries?

I tested last night and have the same issue, I can mirror just fine, but when I get the "HDMI Screen" page for Google Play videos it just stays there with the spinner and won't play.
Can those of you who have this working chime in on this one; Do you guys have your bootoaders "locked"?
The only difference I can see is that I'm rooted (others say it works for them rooted), modified kernel (anyone else?) and my bootloader is still unlocked.
I'll make a Nandroid backup tonight and relock to see if that has any effect.
My television (Samsung 46" LED) is most certainly HDCP compliant. I do have the tablet connected to the ARC (Audio Return Channel) which could potentially be an issue, but I'll swap that later too, just to make sure.
Darn
anyone able to shed any light on this? I have relocked and temp unroot but nothing, it just completely refuses to play while HDMI is connected, it just still is at a page that says "HDMI Screen" with a spinner and a picture of a TV and that is it.
Just to make it worse, the latest update to YouTube won't let you full screen a video while HDMI is connected. You have to full screen it then plug HDMI in to get full screen.
I am 100% stock and unable to play anything out of the play store on my n10, however I still have my transformer infinity around and that is able to so I don't think it's a play store issue...

Agreed, still no fix found here, but I absolutely refuse to buy or rent anything until I know I can play it on my 46" TV. It's just obsurd.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for a fixed in the next Android release, otherwise I'll just forget Google Play movies exists entirely.
I just wish I knew of a player that would full screen my own content on the TV then it wouldn't be an issue.

Didn't see a post with this, this is the main reason I backed the ouya.

Not a big deal, even my Galaxy Nexus with the XBMC hardware accelerated test build stream 720p over UPnP smoothly. I went ahead and bought an MK808 stick, but might get an Ouya when it's released for better hardware and quality control.

Cool video. This is my main reason for buying the OUYA as XBMC is the only way I have found to stream movies to my kids PC while preserving the DVD menus and subtitles. I would rather my 6, 8 and 10 year old sons not handle my DVDs directly so I store all their movies on a 3TB hdd... can't wait for this to get in in June.
Awesome to have xbmc, that will go great with an external HD for offline media. I wonder if a usb DVD or Blueray will work in the OUYA?

Looks incredible. Console mode allows to put shield next to the TV and let stream from the PC - in 1080p with 60FPS.
God, that is so freaking awesome. Best buy ever. :victory:
sadly that's nothing you can't do with a long HDMI cable and steam big picture
at least is nice they are removing the beta of the streaming

Currently HDMI output only works at 720p at 30 fps AFAIK. This states 1080p at 60 fps with the update, that's something I've been looking forward to.
This, with a wireless xbox 360 controller.... I won't have to lug my tower across the house anymore when I want to game on the couch, or deal with low res and a long HDMI cable.

Awesome update. They mention official support of the bluetooth niko gamepad and also playing with the lid closed. If the support is open for other gamepads (it should be) this is big news for future of the shield as a serious console, handheld or TV connected.
I'm really happy to own this little toy. Long life to the shield!
And the console mode give us real 1080p output outside of movie playback. So we can play all Android games in 1080p or use Shield as small PC with 1080p output.
Damn, the future for this kind of devices looks very bright now.

Yes, many other game controllers work as well (They must support standard Bluetooth HID if they're bluetooth).
This is great news as I already have a moga pro, looks like I will be playing a lot of my PC games in the living room....wife's going to hate me haha.

Awesome, was the D-PAD buttons issue during PC Streaming resolved?
And what about PS3 and XBOX controller? Android has native support of both when connected with usb cable. But both have the D-PAD issue.
The PS3 controller can be used as HID bluetooth but root is needed with the sixaxis control app.
Thanks for telling us.
