Known Issues
Ethernet
Work for the majority. Check your buffer for "eth0 no attached PHY", you may have to exchange the device as it is a hardware problem AFAIK. Follow this guide to get your buffer.
Google Play Store paid apps
Currently, the firmware shipped geekbuying (04/08/14) does not allow paid apps to be installed. This was reported and the new firmware will be released in the near future.
You can restore paid apps using Titanium Backup on the device, it seems that they work just fine that way. (Thanks roolmapool)
XBMC version root access
Okay, I'm sorry for the red title, but if you want to use XBMC without many, many questions, then you'll need to root your device due to some problems with permissions. Read the FAQ below for the Elimination of the device's instructions.
I recommend hiding the notification from SuperSU of XBMC, so it does not toast to you every time you start XBMC.
You can not select the default audio output device (headphones with remote controls)
Due to the way that the rum was set no sound device manager to allow you to choose the default audio output source. Because of this, if you have an RF remote that has a speaker or a headphone jack you can think of, you're stuck listening to everything through the remote control. There is a fix.
According saor11 you can solve this problem by setting SoundAbout application from the play store and you can choose your correct conclusion is.
General FAQ
Where can I get? What are the clones?
My opinion ? Save yourself the hassle and potential just buy it from Geekbuying.
I do not want to deal with the hassle of trying to figure out if my equipment a knock-off, badly made clone or have someone else's back problem.
I made eBay's Russian roulette and Aliexpress tango before and every time when I had just graduated from those who want to snap it in half. By the way, I have a cemetery. I did a risk that almost always end up in disappointment. I ordered another MK808 Geekbuying devices from their Amazon account than I can count and on the rare occasion, I had a problem they care about it; slowly, but in the end it was fair. I'm sure that some of the works of a knock-off, but I do not trust them.
Does this device supports 5.1 DD / DTS audio through?
Yes and no. This device has the S802 SoC, so the physical hardware does not support the passing sound. It would need to have for this S802 -H.
However, XBMC makes software for decoding and passes the sound works fine for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1.
This device whether 4K video?
Another yes and no. This device supports output in QFHD, and although it is mainly four times 1080p resolution is not as 4K. Manufacturers jumped at the opportunity to label their equipment 4K, even though it is technically 2K. This is where comes 4K2K. Another term you can see that the UltraHD, the estohvatyvaet most anything higher than 1080p.
Currently QFHD content does not work in XBMC. You will need to use the included 4KPlayer application.
Is there a remote app for my phone?
Yes ! You can download the official control of AMLogic here.
This device also has support for Google Anymote so you can also just download Remote Google TV application and use it. Not all keys work with Anymote ... for now.
NEW You can follow these instructions to make your job Vega IR receiver for each remote control. This is a very, very comfortable, I would like to have my air mouse separately from my remote control media center.
ROMS that are available and how do I get root access?
Please install Finless 1,2 ROM root your device. Instructions are included in each download. Please note, you can use a USB flash drive instead of the SD-card or using ADB Sideload (tested, proven works.)
The standard model of finless 1.2
Elite Model Finless 1.2
Do not blink M8 ROMS, as you can probably HARD BRICK YOUR VEGA
What are the real resolution that the device can support?
HDMI: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p50, 720p60, 1080i50, 1080p50, 1080i60, 1080p60, 2160p24, 2160p25, 2160p30, 2160pSMPTE (1080p24 not in stock ROM, but is supported in the kernel)
VGA CVBS: 480i, 576i
Should I buy it or should I wait?
I do not regret getting mine at all, that's exactly what I thought it would be for the first starting at S809 SoC devices. Does it have some drawbacks? Of course, but I really do not see that any of them are those that deal breakers. Almost everything can be fixed in the firmware. I still probably my tears but as soon as my warranty period is up (okay, so maybe before), and the document, how to add an external WiFi antenna - but not really, because he needs it. The remote that comes with it could use some work, but I really dig customizable infrared port on the front panel, as well as for their shoddy Rockchip module IC core of all devices and all brands.
You probably already knew that you were going to do before you read it anyway, but if you put up with bumpy road we had with RK3066 rk3188 and you will enjoy it.

If you are experiencing this problem, please make sure that you are rooted and gave XBMC root access. To check this, open the app and make sure SuperSU that XBMC is listed and has a Green Room # / pound sign.
If you are rooted, and it continues to occur allowing you to try a few different settings to see which helps.
Go to the XBMC settings, videos, and then play.
Enable sync reproduction for display.
Set A / V synchronization method for a video clock (Drop / Dupe audio)
You can also try the A / V synchronization method video Clock (Resample audio), if the first option does not work.
I can not change the aspect ratio of my videos!
That would be because you do not root your device! Back to the General FAQ and root your device before using XBMC.
All of my add-ons are now compatible say! What gives?
Oh, you must be using XBMC 12.x Frodo. XBMC developers changed requirements additions and crashed XBMC python comprise from 2.0 to 2.1.
You will find some add-ons are marked incompatible, and they may very well be. However, if you are desperate enough, you can change the python to include in each add - an XML file to 2.1. There is no guarantee that this will work, since these additions are highlighted due to incompatible.
You can also install XBMC 12.x Frodo, set up all of your add-ons as you want them, and then go to the XBMC Gotham, it will leave ons are installed and they can work.
