Known issues

 * Due to the hardware employed and licensed on the OUYA some codecs such as MPEG2 and x265 my not play very well at high resolutions. This is mainly due to lack of hardware decoding.


 * Audio passthrough for some users will likely require SPMC, 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.


 * 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.


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

Random notes
If you want to open XBMC automatically when the OUYA boots up, you can choose between two applications.


 * BootyCall - 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.


 * AutoPilot - When installed KODI will launch automatically after the OUYA Launcher loads. Connecting the BlueTooth remote may close XBMC after, to avoid this issue, use an XBMC remote (Official, Yatse, etc...).


 * Eldon's XBMC Repo - An OUYA specific repository of available addons. Some of the plugins are specific to the OUYA platform, while others will work on android devices in general.
