General FAQ

Installing/getting XBMC for Android Link Right now Team XBMC is not providing any pre-compiled binaries to the public, but anyone can compile a copy from https://github.com/xbmc/android using the instructions at https://github.com/xbmc/android/blob/android-rebase-8/docs/README.android Only Ubuntu and Mac OS X building environments have been tested so far. XBMC for Android will eventually come to Google Play. Public test APKs will be available in the coming weeks.

Where can I get more information? Link These are the early days for XBMC for Android! Things are changing almost daily, and there's a ton of different devices and configurations and questions out there. Feel free to edit this page if you see anything you can improve. http://xbmc.org/theuni/2012/07/13/xbmc-for-android/ http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=136037

Phones and tablets Link While tablet and phones will work with XBMC, the main aim right now is set-top boxes. Expect touch/skin/etc support to improve with time.

Requirements Link Pending

Will this really do 1080 and everything the desktop can do? Link Yes! This is a full port of XBMC, and not slimmed down in any way. Hardware video decoding support is very limited right now, so most devices will have to use software decoding. Expect support for hardware decoding to improve with time.

XBMC for Android version Link The current version of XBMC for Android is based on pre-Frodo (version 12). This is an unstable development version. The first stable version of XBMC for Android will be released with XBMC v12 (Frodo) and will be based on the same code as XBMC for all the other supported platforms.
