| Question= Why can other players work with HD video but not XBMC? | |||
| Answer= | |||
*HD video (720 and 1080 resolution files) requires what's known as hardware video decoding, using special chips that handle video playback, in order to run smoothly on most ARM/Android systems. Some Android systems have powerful enough CPUs that they can playback some HD video without hardware decoding, but most will require it. | |||
*Unlike most OSes, hardware decoding on Android isn't standard across different manufacturers and chip makers. | |||
*Hardware video decoding is still under very active development in XBMC for Android, and it is expected that XBMC will be able to support a large selection of devices. | |||
*Other players have hardware video decoding because they've signed NDAs or are using closed source code, which are not options for XBMC. | |||
