SPMC (old)

I recently purchased a quad core MXQ Android set top box. I owned an earlier model that turned out to be garbage. When I received my MXQ box, Kodi was pre-loaded and the video playback was horrible. In fact, it was unwatchable. I retired the MXQ box to my closet and came across this app. I thought, "Might as well give it a shot." I uninstalled Kodi, installed SPMC, and the box now plays to perfection. Thank you.

very good video performance with rk3288 [much better than kodi 15.2 which stops every second to breath] but audio pass through, using measy b4s [rk3288] is broken. i can only hear hiss. without passthrough the sound is good. tried using both toslink and HDMI outputs without success [dolby digital audio].kodi can handle audio, with poor video, and you can handle video without audio.please unfork projects..

I've used this on pretty much every Android device I have, and while it's not the fastest thing in the world... it actually works better than Kodi on most of my devices (especially generic brand tablets). Someone has put a ton of effort into this app, and it's much appreciated!

I persevered with standard xbmc/kodi on an Android box for ages despite start fails, memory disasters, lags, lags and lags just cos well obviously it's still the best thing ever. SPMC (and a cheap ir remote) fixes 95% of those problems and takes the whole concept of Android to planet Balls. Thanks dev, small donation sent via kodi page.

For all practical purposes,works exactly like the xbmc.the flexibility and scalability of xbmc platform is unparalelled. using xbmc in raspi (raspbian) and desktop( win7), got greedy and wanted it for my phone. spmc is the only option currently for android. Also installed this on banana pro running android image. Great work!

Great job! It's stripped of features that wouldn't apply to mobile, and screaming fast on my L3 G3. In fact, the load time is faster in this app than the full fledged Kodi client on our HTPC. Very minimal crashes. Thanks for this contribution to the community.

This forked project is much better than the official kodi because the dev made it lighter weight than the official, thus allowing it to run on my HTC One m8 and cast to my big screen at the same time. The official version is too bloated and takes too much ram to run and cast at the same time. Thank you dev!

This runs so quickly on my Desire C, it HAS to be witchcraft - even my file explorer isn't this perky. SPMC functions exactly like Kodi should, installing add-ons and browsing local files is a breeze. I'd give it 6 stars if it used the Android native keyboard instead of the on-screen kodi keyboard. Unparalleled excellence, imho.

It worked fine till the new Android update. Screen flashes black and then crashes and goes to phone lock screen. I can't even watch any movies or TV shows without it doing it every single time.

Been googling forever to find out why nextpvr pvr client addon is sayinf no tuner available on my samsung gt-8010 note tablet. Channel guide and everything else using nextpvr client addon. Just no access to the tuner itself so I can watch tv on my tablet.

Crashes on my ASUS ZenFone 2. Scrapers work but as soon as the media starts to play SBMC crashes every time. Uninstalled.

I have the HPH FO N6 from Nagrace, based on the Rock Chip RK3288 the Mali T764, 4GB Ram, 32GB eMMC Storage, HDMI @ 1080P IN and OUT @ v2.0 4k... I could go on, but the purpose is that XBMC / KODI is not the problem with Android, it's Android... Don't get me wrong, I love the whole idea, but Android is not optimized for this program... Android is meant for smaller apps and not these huge programs... Most all Android TV Boxes or devices are barely stable and they put a GUI of their own on top that's barely optimized to run on the OS... Android is perfect for OTG On The Go situations and maybe someday they will optimize the Android System to run these huge programs, until then, I really suggest getting the Raspberry PI 2 and install either OSMC or OpenELEC, I promise you happiness...

Made an awesome App work in my 1st gen Tab 10.1. Now I can watch this bleeding edge technology, revolutionize the future of home entertainment into something we could only once dream about until this "miracle" of watching television was spawned from the desire of wanting it all... and wanting it now.......Or maybe "It's pretty cool!" Would better describe what happend?

Good app on the phone.. sound buzzes when put onto a tv.. kodi doesn't have this problem so had to switch sorry

It is the little features like the back button allowing SPMC to minimize that set this apart from the official Kodi. I really like the default launcher version of this better, maybe have two versions on the play store? Only thing I am hoping for is better H256 decoding/optimization for Android.

If youre playing a video and you press back the video closes. This is very annoying . There should be an option that you can enable to allow the video to remain playing or to be paused in the background. Until then I will remain with TVMC

Installed on rock chip RK3188 android TV box. Everything is fine except spdif pass through is not working. Any fix for this. Thanks.

every time i remove spmc from my kodi box (mxq) the app spmc goes away but soon as i turn of my mxq box and turn it back on from the mains the spmc re installs it self onto my box, is there anyway to remove this rubbish

I currently have this downloaded on my android box and cannot rate it enough it is excellent and never fails especially using the Genesis add on. An amazing app cannot fault it.

I love this version of kodi, but it would be great if the newest version was uploaded here. I use it on my nexus player, and that way it would be pushed to it automatically. Keep up the great work!

You have added a banner which is nice, but making it working properly is more important

I love using this on my Android TVs. So much more convenient than having to update other versions and reset all of your settings each time.

At first it seemed like it was working but my tablet went into sleep mode I woke it up and now when I open the app a button that says Exit will not go away tried everything to get it working but it wouldn't.

Unlike Kodi you can move to sd. Saving valuable space. Would like an updae to 15.2 for better addon compatibility. Then its 5 stars all the way.

This all works well so long as you change the video acceleration to software from hardware. Unfortunately it does lead to the video being choppy - probably because of the additional strain on the CPU. If it could be patched to make it compatible with the hudl2 it would get 5 stars. (When hardware acceleration selected -libstagefright and MediaCodec - the all self closes as soon as play back starts

Love this app great build by the dev runs a lot better than kodi xbmc smoother faster no hickups so far just smoothness .. Excellent work dev keep up the great work

I'm not new to XBMC so I can honestly say SPMC is great. I love the fact you can transfer it to your external memory which I could never do with XBMC. Fusion added easily and no major issues. Works better in my opinion.

on my Tablet Toshiba and Samsung Galaxy S3 it saved me cause Kodi stopped working on my Tablet. There are a few addons who do not work but the most importent ones work on it. Great software.

Very annoying to have to constantly re-enter my samba password all the time.
