The 0 cache XML removes the caching, so the box should in theory play straight away, clear out the cache via the cache cleaner in the main settings menu, mine plays 720p/1080p films, but it will cache if the film has 5.1 DTS or Dolby sound encoded due to the size of the file, mine did have that problem until i installed the 0 cache tweak

I think 0cache.xml allows unlimited caching to the box and having a fast BB speed it tends to fill up the internal memory to a saturation point very quickly.
I have messed around with various settings within XBMC and discovered that I am now able to play a full 1080p encoded with 5.1 DTS stream without any glitches whatsoever using Mickeys 1234.xml, limits amount of caching to a set value I think, together with a reduced BB speed of 2.5mb.
I hope my past rants haven't put anybody off from acquiring this box because when properly set up it is a great piece of kit to have.

Unfortunately the system in Android TV Box does not support multitouch method so that image in screen can not zoomed / minimized. The device also does not provide a motion sensor (accelerometer) that sometimes required for certain applications...

yeah mate, had loads of chew as you can see lol. if anyone has any problems this is how i did it, put both files on an SD card renamed .zip to img. Now the first problem i had was that little sucker would not read the files whether they were on SD card or flash stick via recovery menu, So i used the upgrade option on the app screen, This only brought the SPI file up so i thought oh well il flash with SPI file and then hopefully I will see the larger file......No such luck, So factory reset box. Did some digging aboutand read in order to see both files via the upgrade page you need to press the context button on the remote about 8 times (infact it was about 20 times for me). so away i went and yey i see both files, Flashed the SPI box rebooted went back to upgrade pressed that button loads of times again and then flashed the larger file, box rebooted and just hung on the boot screen, i thought great another one bites the dust but this time could enter the recovery menu, Factory reset box, box rebooted and still hung on the droid dude, cleared cache in recovery, factory reset again.....droid dude hanging. Searched around for sumivision x2 image reflashed box and got it back to stock (weird thing is it would see the sumivision image VIA recovery...... anyway box was back to stock, Went through same process of loading both files again using the upgrade app and that frigging button and voila, giniatech firmware was on. after that installed fusion and all the rest and it was all straight forward. 1080p hd films even 3d playing "sound as a pound". Happy days :) want one for the bedroom now

Jesus thats some battling!! Here is one for the books, turned on the box today and it started to install, like it was brand new box, never used etc, turned it off and back on stil the same, so as i backed up my settings on a stick, re flashed the box with firmware and lobbed my settings on and worked, have seen one or two boxs do this, its like the box loses its settings entirely and starts like its a new box, not sure if its a corrupt file or the back aint locating the settings on its drive, why I aint got a clue! so i scrubbed the whole thing and reinstalled everything fresh and backed it up, in case it was an addon corrupting the XBMC working fine and smooth now
