This is not true, despite what XBMC FAQs states, if the android video resolution is set to 720p then everything plays at 720p, if android is set to 1080p then everything is played at 1080p or upscaled to 1080p.

I think this might have been a mixup with the linux versions, where this was true for linux running on ARM boxes, but not true for Android. Or it might mean that if the Android firmware is 1080 then XBMC's GUI would still be rendered in 720, but that doesn't sound right either.

I don't actually see that being mentioned in the
Android FAQ (wiki) or other related pages. If you can point out the specific page then I'll make sure it gets updated (or anyone can sign up for an account and edit the wiki directly).

Hi all
I brought the Sumvision Cyclone Android X2 last week. I had read mixed reviews having been happy with my previous Sumvision Cyclone MKV, decided to go for it. I want a box only to stream media from my NAS and to use Netflix, and in addition control it wil my Harmony remote.
I spent 2 days getting more and more disappointed with this box. Video playback is fine through the stock mediaplayer app and through XBMC 12.2, but I am frustrated at not being able to use my harmony remote fastforward/rewind/play/pause buttons. To operate these playback functions I have to press menu then navigate left and right to the necessary buttons. I really dont want to use an air remote. I have tried adding devices AVT1200 and Pivos XIOS DS to my harmony remote but the fastforward/rewind/pause/play buttons still do nothing during video playback in mediaplayer or XBMC. I could setup custom sequences but this is not much of a solution.
Today I have changed the firmware from Cyclone Android X2 to Geniatech (v20130805) in the vain hope that would make a difference but it doesnt. I can't believe I'm the only person with an ATV1200/X2 trying to use video playback without an air-remote or USB keyboard. I've done a search of this thread but cant find an answer, does anyone have any ideas or help please? Many thanks

yep, the XBMC GUI is 720p, that's what that setting reports.

Video on AMLogic devices is rendered to a separate video plane that XBMC's GLES cannot see. It is behind the GUI.
