MiTech 10" and the Mali-400 GPU - tequila - 2012-12-10

I have tested this low-budget tablet with the beta 2.
Overall handling is a bit choppy and I always found the control handles within xbmc a bit too small while there was space for larger icons.
But maybe my fingers are too fat Big Grin

However it is a bit slow but it does handle the SD content in streaming.
Then I tried Big Buck Bunny in stream. Playback works but the fps is below 2-3 frames per second.
So I assume the Mali-400 MP gpu is sleeping ;-)
Specs for that tablet can be seen here: http://www.vaeri-online.de/image/A10-SR101%2010inch%202b.jpg

HavenĀ“t tried HDMI out yet.

You can use the delivered "touched" skin which gives you a bit more room to hit the buttons Wink

yes, true or I could build my own... could ;-)

I just read on the Pivos XIOS site that this one is using the MALI-400 MP gpu too.
Now I am curios why the tablet is so laggy. Any way to find out if hardware acceleration is used or not ?

Android XBMC only has HW accel. for Amlogic devices within the Pivos build. The official beta releases does not use the --with-amplayer attributes which is what amlogic devices rely on for HW acceleration. That score is pretty low on Antutu - somewhere around or below the Dyno single core HDMI sticks (2300-2500). This couldn't handle software HD playback at all which is why you have low frames (choppy).
