Does it support xbmc

It does but the current version of XBMC (12.2) does not support hardware acceleration so video is pretty jerky on anything above standard definition. MX Player pro supports hardware acceleration with the chipset in the UG008, XBMC 13.0 should have the hardware acceleration enabled.

It has an older version of XMBC on it, so you can launch that - you'll have to navigate the file sources from inside the menu to find the mkv file, but generally yes. There may be issues with accelerated decoding, HD video from a usb thumb drive may be choppy.I would heartily recommend you install the latest version of XBMC, it was recently renamed to Kodi http://kodi.tv/download/

D You mean XBMC (Kodi) with the TVaddones repository? If so just google xbmc or go to xmbc.org download the android version. Then search youtube for how to add addon to XBMC. Enjoy!

Yes, I've got it set up that way, and it's working fine for me. I run XBMC, so I've remapped it for that, but before that, I tested it with the built-in Windows Media suite, and that worked out of the box.

It works with Ubuntu 12.04 and the device is recognized as a keyboard and mouse, so it should work with xbmc, provided you are running a newer kernel version with the drivers. I don't know exact version required, but like I said Ubuntu 12.04 (Linux kernel 3.2) works great, and so does Raspbian.

Not at all. But i installed it by myself. Do not expect normal work of video on XBMC (95%), but maybe you will find a good version... Also this device is rooted, and i made a little damage to system, but it steel works. I use it for online video and serfing. I will recomend device only for entusiast, not for people without experiance of working with Android.

Just got the box and opened it up you would need an usb tuner card that is xbmc approved. xbmc shows the 32 gig ssd as a user space so i dont see why not.

yes you can install xbmc. I would use beyond XBMC or SPMC. Those work the best. Beond XBMc was designed to run on the rockchip processor in here. I have sold several and the work well. Roku or chromecast are not near what XBMC is.

The mini PC can run XBMC and product good quality of video playback. Firmware before Feb 2014 has an issue with some video playback, moreover the issue was fixed in firmware 20140306. MKV is supported but the quality of playback may be not as good as expected because the hardware decode of MKV is not supported. If playing MKV is the major reason for purchasing this mini PC, you are not recommended to buy this mini PC.

Yes, it supports MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE and WAV. It's just that for videos, it can't play MKV or FLV.

XBMC has a pre-built Ubuntu based distribution available. Otherwise, I would recommend any Debian derivative. Ubuntu is probably the easiest option.

Yes, however you have to install XBMC and also install Fusion and Mashup that takes some time and experience
