Hi
Has anyone installed XBMC on it its box r2918 4xUSB?
I receive an error message "parse error" when i try to install the .APK
I tried with different package...
XBMC only works on Amlogic based boxes. Rockchip boxes are not supported so you wont get any hardware decoding.
There are no public preview releases for general android either only unofficial nightly builds on XDA Developers. The release on Pivos forums is for their Amlogic box only.

XBMC only provides hardware accelerated decoding of video on Amlogic chipsets.
No other chipset is supported, XBMC may run on a Rockchip box but there is no hardware decoding of media rendering XBMC largely useless. Same goes for all other non-Amlogic Android devices out there.
There is a hack to XBMC that allows you to use alternate media players for media decoding but then XBMC becomes just a shell and you lose the benefits of XBMC.
Rockchip and Allwinner devices are listed on the XBMC wiki but they are not supported by XBMC even though it runs on them in software decoding mode only. Allwinner status may change in the future, someone is working on their hardware decoders.
well...
I don't know how this thread slides to HW or SW decoding...
My only question is about an error message "parse error" with the XBMC APK file
I don't think it had to do with the video decoding , but i maybe mistaken.
I've tried this (on my 4 usb) and it installed and would work sometimes but not really useable, it would open for a short time then close, but 100% progress!!!!
