* The hardware in the box is AMLogic-based and the firmware (Android installation) didn't set certain permissions correctly and isn't rooted. The easiest way to fix this would be to either root the device, so that XBMC can set the file permissions, or update to a better firmware that sets the correct permissions. | * The hardware in the box is AMLogic-based and the firmware (Android installation) didn't set certain permissions correctly and isn't rooted.

| Question= Videos play, but are not always smooth | |||
| Answer= | |||
There are a number of reasons why this can happen, so it's hard to give general advice for such a description, but here are some things that you can try: | |||
* Some Android hardware has bugs using the "MediaCodec" hardware decoding method, but plays video fine using "libstagefright". Try turning off "MediaCodec" and leaving "libstageright" on in: {{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Videos#Acceleration|Settings -> Videos -> Acceleration]]}}. Users of [[Android hardware|AMLogic hardware]] can ignore this, as those devices use a third "AmCodec" hardware decoding method. | |||
* Hardware video decoding might not be enabled at all on your device. Most Android boxes will require hardware video decoding for smooth HD video playback. Check settings under {{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Videos#Acceleration|Settings -> Videos -> Acceleration]]}} | |||
* Most Android boxes don't support hardware video decoding of some codecs, such as VC-1 Hi10P, and HEVC(H.265). Consult the compatibility list on '''[[Android hardware]]'''. | |||
* Rule out network performance by loading a small test video directly to the internal memory of your Android device. | |||
