    You need to do a fresh install. I did one without any settings/plugins restore and works for me. Took me 10 mins max to setup my receiver after a fresh flash.

    I can't get the plugin to play my mkv from my NAS on solo2 and duo2, it scrapes them fine but just shows a black screen when trying to play back, for the record all mkv on the NAS playback ok on solo2 and duo2 via inbuilt media player.

    Hi,
    and one thing. XBMC and also the animations are only visible on a TV/Monitor connected with HDMI to the box.

    re-installed image from fresh and all working fine....xbmc works better than I thought it would....

    just 1 thing though....is there anything on the remote that acts as a mouse right click action? only reason I ask is I wanted to delete a file share for videos, the only way I found how to do it was to use a mouse and delete the share that way....

    google

    repository.superrepo.org.gotham.all-latest

    copy it to a path you can access from XBMC on the receiver.
    In XBMC go to systems / all-ons /
    install from zip file
    Locate the file and install it
    then look in Get Add-ons
    Then install what you fancy.


    It has all you will need
