Looks very good now need to test it on my mk802+
Seems to work better than the first build. The videos are not off centre and can be scaled. We need more testers
I'll be glad to test if someone posts here a precompiled package.
See link in post #57 (just above!)

Well my mk802+ behaves just like the original build, in 720p after I start XBMC, it streches, and it stays streched but looks fine in 1080p. I have found a spot in LinuxRendererA10.cpp that controls the window created and a possible bug. When the Window height is > 720 it uses "Workmode Scaler" other wise it uses "Workmode Normal" So on my tablet where the height is only 600 is is using "Workmode Normal" the output looks fine; I believe that the 720p window resolution should behave the same as 1080p (which kind of works) so the code may need to be Window height is >= 720. I will test the change and if that fails, I will just force the output to be only "Workmode Normal" and do another test....
Stay tuned...

Ok this will not impact it.... this chunk of code enables/disables alpha blending according to the A10 Depends readme....

Odd that on my tablet, the screen was an odd blue colour until I connected it via HDMI, after I did this the screen played the video fine.
Domenic
Well... I guess I will have to skip it then, because I have the same problem and no way to connect it via HDMI.
Thank you for posting, anyway, and hope you manage to solve the "blue" bug

Just tried the no to fate build and first impressions are really good . It seems to play 720 mkv files well. I'm using it on a justop android 4.04 set top box. Try and do a more thorough test report after I have used it more.

the same problem with blue effects and distortion on cubieboard + A10_Recovery ( RSH-A10-C2.img )

If you want XBMC to run well on it then don't buy it at all. Avoid Allwinner.

I think this guy sells them rather than actually wanting to buy one

This build: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0c1jpaziDZ-dl9FVWdKbzV4OUU/edit?usp=sharing.
has the same issues as already reported, "blueish" with some videos, but ok with others.
Depending on the used codecs.
But no HDMI. After plugging HDMI, both screens go black.
But it seems, the guys from "vidom.me" got it working, but unfortunately, there is no source available. (?)

I tested their .apk and what can I say, all movies were playing with hw-accelaration.
But HDMI didn't work with my device (Sanei N90).
Only "marbles" on the screen.
As the above mentioned thread was closed few months ago, I opened a new one:

I have created a working apk without all issues mentioned above : it can be found here : http://www.4shared.com/android/SZ_QOyNt/xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-baso.html .
let me knows if it works for you.

I've tested and it works almost perfect on my MK802+.
Finaly a proper xbmc with HW decoding on Allwinner!
Only some hiccups on H264 TS streams and 1080p MKV.
But this is the best version i've tested so far...I think we are getting there.
Thanks Baso4.

You're right. Until, we solve this, you can watch such videos using the externalplayer support I added. I use the mele "TvdVideo" for MKV and MXplayerFree for H264TS. MX can also play MKV, but seems that TVdVideo fails reading some.

that's a shitty download link with all the popups.

Anyone else tested the above version?? I'am getting blue video playback and no HDMI video on the version from the beginning of this thread..
