{{Infobox information appliance
<section begin="intro" />OUYA is an Android-based game console/set-top-box that contains a very powerful ARM processor that can even handle some of the more heavy XBMC skins, in addition to outputting video at 1080. XBMC currently requires a test build to enable hardware video decoding on the OUYA, and the first official and full version of XBMC on OUYA will be v13 "Gotham". An unofficial, but stable, v12-based version is planned by OUYA to hold users over until v13 is released.<section end="intro" />

There may be some oddities with the default controller layout. This should improve in time.

*'''U''' =  Nothing
*'''Y''' = Nothing
*'''A''' = Back/Backspace
*'''L1''' =  Nothing
*'''L2''' =  Nothing

*'''L-Stick''' =  Nothing
*'''R-Stick''' =  Nothing
*'''Middle Button''' =  Right-Click/Menu
*'''Touchpad''' =  Full Mouse (Left-Click only)


'''Notes:'''  
== Known issues ==
*“A” Brings up Home during playback (movie still playing in BG, no way to return w/o touchpad).
* Audio passthrough for some users will likely require '''SPMC''', which is a modified version of Kodi.
*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}}. }}
* Wifi on the OUYA might not be enough for some high bitrate HD streams. In this case, using wired ethernet is recommended.


==Known issues==
* 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.
*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.
* Volume control does not adjust the volume level. It will mute the audio if volume is turned all the way down.


*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 OS ("firmware") is currently limited to video output at 60Hz. Those with media that plays back at 50Hz might see occasional stutter.
* 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.


*Volume control does not adjust the volume level. It will mute the audio if volume is turned all the way down.
::'''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.


==Add-ons==
::'''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...).
'''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):'''
* trakt
*XBMC Backup
*Artwork Downloader
*TVTunes (occasionally causes system lag)
*Apple Trailers (buffering is slow)
*Game Trailers (in 720p)
*Hulu (720p 3200K, akaimai, no ads or pre-roll; still can be buggy on occasion)
*Trailer Addict (720p, but requires download path)
*Trailer Addict
*YouTube (hit or miss)
*PBS


'''Current Add-ons tested as not Working (7/7/13):'''
* 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.
*ESPN
*EpixHD
*Free Cable
*Rooster Teeth
*USTVNow
*YouTube (hit or miss)

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.

  • Audio passthrough for some users will likely require SPMC, which is a modified version of Kodi.
  • Wifi on the OUYA might not be enough for some high bitrate HD streams. In this case, using wired ethernet is recommended.

  • 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.
BootyCall [1] ($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.
