I tried XBMC and it worked. It is very nice media player!!! Also I noticed, it uses more battery than BSPlayer/MXPlayer. Did anybody notice?
I been using xbmc on my tetra just fine for a while now and with all the right repositories I have a huge film collection to watch portable

Let me know if yous would be interested and i'll put it togther

Anyone having trouble watching youtube videos or flash videos in browser? Mines keeps crashing when I try to watch a video in browser and in youtube app

You didn't happen to download the flash player from the market did you? If so there is another thread in this forum that has a link to the proper APK that is optimized for the tegra 2.

LOL.
And to be OT, flash videos are amazing and crystal clear at this resolution.
I agree, it even runs HD streaming perfectly on Amazon.com prime service.
Netflix streaming does not work, the webpage reports that 'its not compatible with your browser' seems stupid, but oh well.. now i have an amazon prime account!
Wish this thing would play mkv's. thats a big issue.

Netflix uses Silverlight bro. You wont be able to view any SL content until it's put on on the market like Flash player is. But it will never be put up so no need to worry about it
you can view Amazon Prime on your Atrix? I tried but the Watch now Link did not do anything.
so i noticed that no ones been able to get netflix to work on the xoom but ive been watching movies all the time on mine and i thought id share how. so all you need is a computer and an apk called splashtop remote HD.
all it is is just a remote client for your computer so that you can use your computer on the road. but the part where netflix comes in is that the app has an option already checked by default to play the sound and everything on the xoom speakers instead of the computer speakers. and it can do full screen which when done with netflix, makes it perfect.

I use this app daily. You can also play games that are in window mode on your PC as well. The app is great. the one posted above looks like it is the HD one that is the paid one.

on the computer open the splashtop streamer program and under settings you can connect your google account so that you can access your computer from other wireless networks
everything you need is in the splashtop streamer program on your computer. its very easy to use and anyone can do it

you can do that and im not against it because i have both. but id rather stick to this not only because its worked flawlessly for me but because i have full control over my computer.Anything i can do with my computer, and i mean anything, the app lets me do on my xoom. but its the users choice whether they want to use the uastring hack or just this

XBMC Atrix *HDMI* (Any Blur based ROM)
The user "djeman" brought us, an HDMI version of XBMC for the Atrix.
Here is the link: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
Test and let me know how it works.
Special thanks to djeman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XBMC
Description:
Is the one of the most complete multimedia center, where you can play your favorite audios, videos, movies, also it supports many plugins like (TV, Web, Apps, etc.).
Considering this is an Atrix, this could be used as the new WebTop for CM7/CM9/CM10 but more for multimedia than office and other things, but you can always go the plugins way.
I'm bringing the XBMC from the dev kemonine96, since it works almost fully and I have been testing it to the bottom, so any question you can ask me. TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Here is the original post so you can download it and test it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813089
Thanks for all.
** Known Bugs:
*CPU1 when not playing anything, it freezes at 67%.
*Cannot load 720p+ Videos, it lags a lot due to HW lack.
*Won't change resolution.
Special thanks to kemonine96.
Does this use native resolutions under hdmi mirroring?
Just want to say the tegra version in the link is working on my th3bill miui rom.
I can connect to my network and stream etc, just like xbmc on anything else. Navigation is a bit fiddly, being touch only.
Can't wait to replace my atv2 with an Android box
Awesome, cheers!

You can always modify resolutions in the Settings of XBMC, that being said, yes.

Actually, you can't. I tried with my lapdock, and it wouldn't let me change it. It looks ok on my lapdock, but in a tv it would look big.
I still don't know how to play music/video using it, it seems like it doesn't come with a music/video player built in.
Im going to go around their forum later to figure out those things.
Looks pretty nice so far.

You will also want to check their wiki. It outlines usage very well. Keep in mind the Atrix is an unofficially supported device. If you have android specific issues or playback problems please post back to XDA. The official channels will not be able to help with Atrix specific issues.

What do you mean sir Luis? Everything works fine, is true that I haven't tried the resolution change since my dock is on the mail but it should scale up fine. If somebody else report back or you can surely confirm it doesn't then I will post it as a bug in the OP.

So this runs on straight Android? Or do we run it from Ubuntu on our phones? And add-ons work just on the phone, e.g., like radio streams (sky.fm, digitally imported), anime freak, scrubbers, etc? If so, very interesting!

If you are running ubuntu on your phone you will want the version from the ubuntu ppa or similar.
Add-ons should generally work. A few may not, but I haven't heard of / know any being outright broken offhand. This should include the last.fm / sky.fm / scrobblers / you tube and the like. If you run into any broken add-ons let me know and I will update the main thread with the known-broken add-ons.

If aimed at me (the guy behind the main nightlies thread): I won't be including the external player patch in my builds just yet. Right now there are no official nightlies being built and I plan to keep mine as close to vanilla xbmc as possible until they post official nightlies.
When official nightlies are posted I'll be taking a closer look at different patch sets and re-evaluating including them in my builds.
Downloaded Flash Via an apk file and managed to get the video working from TV network websites so I can watch prior episodes I've missed. BUT there is no audio.
Can I use Firefox Beta or maybe I have to utilize a different browser?
Thanks much for your help.

How about some help for a bro?
Seriously, I'm returning the Nexus 7 if I cannot get Flash to work with it. There are many websites I go to that use it so personally it is a deal breaker. I admit this is a better hardware device than my KF but at least the latter does what I need it to.

I cannot play videos from every website I went to test it, but 90% worked for video AND sound.
I'm bookmarking the link you provided cause I have a feeling when another software update comes along it may not work and the developers will update that thread accordingly.
All other apk files for Flash I tried beforehand didn't work except the .17.

Flash is a bit hit and miss on the N7 but flash down loader on Play might be of use.
For TV in the UK you can't beat TVCatchup.
Thanks again for the thread on xda for Flash .17.
Still some websites where I cannot play videos BUT those are in the minority versus those that work.

Latest Flashplayer + Boat browser.
IMHO - Boat is way better than Chrome.
Hi,
So xbmc on the ouya is pretty much the best experience i´ve gotten so far on a small setup! love it.
But when i install the netflix apk, its really hard / impossible to navigate with the D-pad, plus the quality of the stream seems to be aimed at mobile phones. Anyone gotten a better APK where you can browse with the d-pad and get a good quality stream?
And youtube, i managed to install the youtube APK, and the streams are looking great, but i cant login, plus it seems i just find the stock mobile version, ive heard that the google tv is alot better, but does it enable log in as well?
Sorry for the wall of text, but these are the 2 missing features i really want.
I have installed the tv versions of both apps and they are easier to navigate. No problem logging in but I do have the google store mod.
Netflix quality can be poor at times.

Did you ever figure this out? My wife hates me for putting for taking out our ****ty streamer and replacing it with the Ouya. On Netflix, can't scroll through right or left when picking when you want to watch and can't scroll down to select episodes of TV shows when there is more than 5-6.

The easiest solution I have found it just have a bluetooth mouse. You can just drag the screen up and down, etc as if you were touching the screen. It works pretty well.
Or you can use the touchpad of the controller to scroll. Double tab and then drag up. It's a bit sluggish but it works.
The only problem I have is that the playback stops if the controller turns itself off.
using netflix apk 1.8.1
i got the 1.8.1 working with no playback issues, and with some use of ouya control, does not pause when the control turns off.
My only gripe is the subtitles are very small... can any dev can do a modified netflix 1.8.1 apk with bigger fonts?
