<section begin="intro" />[[w:OUYA|OUYA]] is an Android-based game console/set-top-box. XBMC requires a test/development build to enable hardware video decoding on the OUYA, and the first stable version of XBMC with hardware video decoding is expected to be the future release of XBMC v13 "Gotham". It is a very powerful ARM device that can even handle some of the more heavy XBMC skins, in addition to outputting video at 1080.<section end="intro" />

{{main|HOW-TO:Install XBMC on OUYA}}
OUYA uses [[XBMC for Android]]. We currently recommend this test build, based on [[development builds|Gotham]] Alpha 1 and libstagefright, for OUYA users. It has hardware video decoding and appears to be mostly stable:


<pre>http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/android/xbmc-20130219-32e99c7-android-hwaccel-armeabi-v7a.apk</pre>
== Known issues ==
* Audio passthrough for some users will likely require '''SPMC''', which is a modified version of Kodi.


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. More information on libstagefright can be found here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=152005
* Wifi on the OUYA might not be enough for some high bitrate HD streams. In this case, using wired ethernet is recommended.


==Controller==
* Android, which OUYA's OS is based on, is limited right now to 60Hz. Those with media that plays back at 50Hz might see occasional stutter.
[[File:OUYA-Controller-Map.jpg|500px|right]]
There may be some oddities with the default controller layout. This should improve in time.


*'''O''' = Select/Enter
* Volume control does not adjust the volume level. It will mute the audio if volume is turned all the way down.
*'''U''' =  Nothing
*'''Y''' = Nothing
*'''A''' = Back/Backspace
*'''L1''' =  Nothing
*'''L2''' =  Nothing
*'''L3''' =  Select/Enter
*'''R1''' =  Nothing
*'''R2''' =  Nothing
*'''R3''' =  Select/Enter
*'''D-pad''' =  Movement/Seek
*'''L-Stick''' =  Nothing
*'''R-Stick''' =  Nothing
*'''Middle Button''' =  Right-Click/Menu
*'''Touchpad''' =  Full Mouse (Left-Click only)


'''Notes:'''
== Random notes ==
*“A” Brings up Home during playback (movie still playing in BG, no way to return w/o touchpad).
{{large|''Feel free to place various notes, tips, and links here. As this section of the wiki gets more organized, those notes will be properly sorted. Consider this like a dumping ground for when you're not sure where to put something.''}}
*Select/Enter (“L3,” “R3,” & “O”) Brings up overlay during playback for pause/play/etc
*Mouse (Touchpad) is left-click only.
*Menu (OUYA button) if held quits app.


{{note|If the on-screen keyboard does not respond to D-Pad input, go to XBMC's settings {{highlight|System Settings -> System -> Input Devices}} and enable {{highlight|Remote control sends keyboard presses}}. }}
* If you want to open Kodi automatically when the OUYA boots up, you can choose between two applications, "BootyCall" or "Auto pilot", both are available on the OUYA store.


==Known issues==
::'''BootyCall''' [https://www.ouya.tv/game/BootyCall] ($2.99) - This application functions as a default launcher ensuring your chosen application, XBMC/Kodi in this case, is the first application loaded and also is returned to upon exiting other applications.
*Seems there are some issues in creating a custom keymap for the controller.  


*Wifi on the OUYA might not be enough for some HD streams. In this case, using wired ethernet is recommended.
::'''Auto Pilot''' [https://www.ouya.tv/game/AutoPilot/] (Free) - When installed the name will show up as "BOOT". Connecting the BlueTooth remote may close Kodi after, to avoid this issue, use an Kodi remote (Official, Yatse, etc...).


*There seems to be some HDMI handshaking issues that sometimes prevent audio-passthrough from working between an OUYA and an audio receiver. A temp work around might be to unplug/replug in HDMI cables or switch video inputs to re-establish the HDMI connection.


*OUYA's underlaying OS, Android, is limited to video output at 60Hz. Those with media that plays back at 50Hz might see occasional stutter.
* Easy Infra red remote (no root): I figured the easiest way on getting IR  is to use a cheap "PC Remote". The "PC Remote" receiver actually emulates a full keyboard based on infra red and starts at 5 USD (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0050PUGZE/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new). You can later swap this remote for a remote with learning capabilities, as the Sony RMVLZ620 (~25 USD), you learn the codes from the "PC Remote" and you get yourself an awesome IR solution that will keep working even if you get those pesky Ouya updates.


==Add-ons==
'''Skins:''' For Skins, The default is the safest, but others that work with no (or little lag) are Bello, Aeon Nox, Hybrid, Transparency, Xeebo, and Xperience 1080.


'''Current Add-ons tested as Working (7/7/13):'''
* OUYA Specific Addon Repo: You can find an OUYA specific repository of addons available, [https://github.com/EldonMcGuinness/Eldon-XBMC-Repo/releases](Eldon's Kodi Repo). Some of the plugins are specific to the OUYA platform, while others will work on android devices in general.

OUYA uses Kodi for Android.

Installing

Old how-to for Kodi v14.2: HOW-TO:Install Kodi on OUYA.

Stop hand.png OUYA's default OS is based on an older version of Android that can only run up to Kodi v14.2. To install Kodi v15 and higher users must replace the OUYA OS with a newer Android version using third party community firmware. For more information on this see Archive:Install CyanogenMod on OUYA.
