G-box midnight

[Albertz]

Anyone got one of these boxes? Got one yesterday and I cant say I am that impressed with it. Got it manly for xbmc but that doesnt seem to work. When I try to watch something it either doesnt fully buffer or when it plays it is jitery. I always thought that xbmc would play media from a hard drive? I cant get it to show the drive or even a usb pen but it recognises a sd card.

Was seriously thinking about that. Only paid 60 for the g-box, so if I get it going ill keep it and get a pi too. The g-box got not bad reviews and looks good in the videos on youtube.

Scrap android. Flash linux to it if you thinking of using it as a dedcated XBMC machine. Thew vide will be jittery as there is nio support withn official xbmc for the gpu chipset. You will need to assign an external player (if using android) to enable smooth playback. Linux however does not have this restriction.

Linux all the why , pissing in the wind with android
