@Icemanbrfc: The S802 is considerably faster than the S805 so you should rather look at the MXIII if you can afford it. TheS805 is an entry level machine for those on a smaller budget.

Ta, appreciate the responses

Hi, I just got my MX 111 this morning (good service from AV Supply). Looking forward to playing around over the weekend.
Have experience with xbmc with a raspberry pi.
A few questions:
Remotes , which are the best for this device and is the supplied remote any good? Discuss.
Does the xbmc remote app from the play store work?
Could I use my Sony bluetooth headset , it does pair well with all my other android devices.
Thanks

Hi maxXED

A Gyroscopic Mouse / Keyboard combo is the best solution for the MXIII, but there are also some nice smartphone remote applications available

Regarding Bluetooth headset, did you buy the 2GB MXIII?

 

[maxXED]

I did buy the 2GB.

 

[AVSupply]

I did buy the 2GB.

Cool, your Bluetooth headphones will work fine then

Only thing is, I recently found out that the latest firmware disables Bluetooth. The factory is working on a fix which I'll put in a patch for all 2GB owners

Should have it before the weekend

 

[maxXED]

Cool. Thanks

 

[Icemanbrfc]

thats another question i have lol, if i get the 1GB MX3, will i not be able to use bluetooth headphones? would i have to get a bluetooth adaptor etc to get it to pair up?

Bluetooth dongle support will be an issue

Rather get the MXQ if bluetooth is required

 

[Awesum]

Is anyone using Pseudo TV live? I need the keyboard shortcuts for it. My mouse doesn't work with it.

Any pointers on how to free up some space on my ATV120 stick...XBMC keeps throwing this error: SQL Insertion failed because database is full.

Thanks

If it's an Android space issue, go to "Android Settings >> Apps" and see how much cache and data each application is using. In the same menu you will have the option to clear the data and cache for each app

**EDIT - Don't remove data and cache from XBMC

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Interesting that J, what are the reasons for not clearing the XBMC Cache? Data I can understand, but cache?

I have discovered its not Apps but its the thumbnails...the folder userdata/thumbnails/ is over 800MB and the ATV 120 stick comes with 1GB ram and 2GB flash memory so I'll have to look at this guide http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Reduce_disk_space_usage to reduce or totally remove thumbnails from the device.

You will want to use Pathsubstitution settings in advancedsettings.xml to specify where thumbnails should be saved instead. Insert 8gb/16gb SD and make it the home for your thumbnails....
