OUYA uses XBMC for Android. To hold users over for an official stable version of XBMC, users can download an unofficial v12 of XBMC for OUYA from the OUYA store.

For brave test users, we currently recommend this test build, based on Gotham Alpha 1 and libstagefright, for OUYA users. It has hardware video decoding and appears to be mostly stable:

or use this short URL address:

There are newer builds of the libstagefright testing branch, but they might have additional issues because they are based on later alpha versions of XBMC, due to the unstable nature of development builds. Using the Alpha 1-based version will be more stable due to less experimental code being involved, but also might not have all of the latest libstagefright changes and fixes.

Libstagefright is now included in normal nightly builds for Android, so if you wish to test the latest improvements (and any possible bugs), you can replace the install instructions URL with one from the nightly build URLs for Android.

Steps

There are several methods to installing XBMC to Ouya, and this page describes an "Out-of-the-Box" method.
