The longer I play with the PCDUINO v3B, the more things I find that are wrong with it. but so far,with the exception of that problem creating a bootable, usable 32GB micro SD card, the other problems seem to have solutions.
One annoying thing that I discovered when I got my 1 Terror Bite portable USB 3.0 hard drives drives working in the pcDuino 3B was that while mp4 files played great, I have a heap of old mpg and mpeg videos that would not work. Generally as XBMC was working through a playlist as soon as it encountered an mpeg or mpg extension, it simply shut down and dropped to the desktop.
I can't guarantee this solution this will fix it for everyone, but it worked for me.
Open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install mplayer2
Then hit enter and wait. You might have to hit enter again if it asks you for a Y/n choice.
Next do:
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53
And hit enter again.
It was that simple. As soon as I opened XBMC again it played all my mp4 and mpg and mpeg videos. I haven't checked to see if avi files are still playing. I must admit i was so excited I forgot.
Anyway, just another tip for pcDuino v3B users. Hope it helps.
Cheers,
RossD.
