Hi,
I have a little Problem. I just a bought an Orbsmart S82 (S802 with Mali GPU, original firmware and custom rom all the same, rooted) and try to run XBMC. Everything works pretty good, except for on huge problem: my beamer only has a native resolution of 720p (which the S82 detects correctly). XBMC itself works fine, no errors whatsoever. But in "Settings" the resolution is fixed to 1920x1080. No problem so far, except that I only see a fraction of any video I'm playing.
For a better explanation: it's like in this image here: Image
I only see the portion of the movie that matches with the 720p frame! I'm unable to watch the full image of the movie regardless of what I do.
I tried an older version of xbmc where I don't have this problem but there is no hardware acceleration which means the videos stutter.
All other movie players I've tried work fine (fullscreen, hardware accelerated, digital audio passthrough, no stutter), so I'm absolutely certain it's the latest version of XBMC for Android causing the problem (also because of the mentioned fact that the older version works fine except for the stutters).
If anyone can help me somehow I'd very very much appreciate it!

Edit:
I just installed the latest XBMC (same version as on the Orbsmart) on my old Nexus 7 (with 1280 x 800 resolution) and in "Settings" the resolution is detected properly as 1280 x 800 and the videos are played back without any problems and in perfect fullscreen. So the XBMC probably detects the resolution wrong on the Orbsmart. Problem is I can't change it because it is greyed out. Is there any config file I could hardcode the proper one into?
