It's in several reviews, though I can't remember which ones off the top of my head.

Its in the user guide that is out. HDMI is for user created content only (created on the phone). Definitely sucks, but not a deal breaker for me as DNLA is good enough for me. It's not like it is a feature other phones can do, then I would be pissed.

Only until we get root if this is true

I was in hopes that being it reads divx... I could plug straight into the tv anywhere with my torrents : )

Damn. HDMI was my main justification for upgrading from Incredible. Now I am going to have come up with a new excuse. This is becoming harder since the X sounds like it is a bit baggy in terms of UI,even if it isn't called blur, and the DI has been rooted (although in a pain-in-the-ass fashion)

It should, they stated that it is only enabled when you are in the Gallery, so if you can play your movies in the gallery then you can use HDMI.
So it is not only pictures and movies you take it is all pictures and movies in the gallery, you just cannot use HDMI for your apps, IE Youtube, etc.

I don't have the device so I can't be certain, but the user manual for the device states only media created by the phone can be displayed via HDMI. So don't get your hopes up until you see someone doing otherwise.

With it being a signed bootloader i doubt we're going to have custom roms or drivers that fix this. Though who knows, once it's rooted, maybe there's just a config file that needs hacking. Depends on how deeply this is programed into the OS.

So are you saying that If I load a playable movie file into my telephone's video gallery......I should be able to watch it through the HDMI port? Kinda Confusing....cause I've heard some people say you can do it........others say you can't.

According to the user manual you cannot. So until someone posts proof otherwise, I would go with the user manual.

Me too, been on a old WinMo phone after I gave up my Imagio to an coworker to get their upgrade for this. Been 3 weeks of just using a phone as a phone, sucks!

according to
the SlashGear review it can play side loaded video files via the HDMI.
http://www.slashgear.com/droid-x-review-0793011/
I don't normally go to this site so don't know how reliable they are.

Clarity feels so good right now!
I just left work from Verizon and just got done discussing the Droid X with our Technical support trainers.......they led me to beleive that the Droid X will output video via HDMI as long as it's not DRM protected.
So that brings me to my next question....If I download a DVD torrent file.....is it DRM protected?

More than likely anything you grab from a torrent isn't going to have DRM

Well then as long as I can grab one of these phones soon as the release date....I'll be set to go then.

The Deal of the Century

I found some girl on Kijiji wanting to trade her Week old Xperia X10 in pristine condition for an iphone 3gs. I ended up talking her into taking my beat up jailbroken iphone 3g + $25 for the Xperia. TomTom on the iphone was the deal closer. How jealous are you all
I love this phone and have zero regrets. Im a new member to this site and have really appreciated all the helpful posts on increasing battery life and general usage of android this being my first android phone.
If i had one complaint about this phone so far it is that i am unable to find an app that has a pc side server to stream all my movies over the net to my phone. I used to have one for the Iphone called AirWave (i think) that would do this while convert the video file to MP4 on the fly.

Lucky you! she should have gone to your location to give it to you and then jump into the falls!! lol

actually i did make her come deliver it LOL

There is one app called Gmote, it s free try it

Thanks for the tip. I get bored working midnights at work
This app would be perfect if it had server side conversion to mp4 on the fly from formats like divx and mkv but i spose i can always convert what i want to watch at home before i goto work. Its definately a step in the right direction and i appreciate your advice.

maby try rock player it plays DIVX on the handset if you have a big enough mem card for several movies
still wishing sony would release a REMOTE PLAY app for android so we can stream from our PS3's ..if not for all androids at least make one built into an SE update for SE users

Rockplayer is the way to go!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

yea i use rock player already and it works wonders but im looking for something more along the lines of being able to stream my 2TB divx movie collection to my phone over 3g rather than dump and replace off the sd card every few days .... im just lazy like that. I dont think such an app exists yet but Gmote is very close with their beta video player they just lack the codec support at the moment.

Avatar on the tab....

So i thought I would try to watch Avatar that came with my vibrant so I plugged in the microsd in the tab tried to launch the movie but all I got was that the movie was locked it asked me if I wanted to unlock it I selected yes but nothing happened, I the tried to play the trailer and it worked. What I also noticed was the the movie didn't work on my vibrant either I guess cause I am running a froyo rom the tab is also running froyo. Has anyone tried to play the movie? Any luck or suggestions.

Get the blue ray or dvd and make a mobile copy for your device.

not exactly the answer i was looking for but thanks.

Register Divx
You probably have to register your "Divx device", it's mentioned in the quick start guide that came with tab! (one of the first pages about licenses)
It's in the online manual as well:
ABOUT DIVX VIDEO-ON-DEMAND
This DivX Certified® device must be registered in order to play purchased DivX Video-on-Demand (VOD) movies. To obtain your registration code, locate the DivX VOD section in your device setup menu. Go to vod.divx. com for more information on how to complete your registration.
Maybe this will solve your problem!

ok maybe this will explain better what i was trying to say on my original post.
On the Vibrant we have a copy of Avatar which is labeled as follows avatar.dcf. now when you launch the stock video player on the vibrant the movie plays no problem. When i insert the microsd card from the Vibrant into the tab and i use the same video player i am unable to play the movie, as stated on my original post it states the the movie is locked and asks me if i want to unlock it but when i select yes nothing happens. hope this clarifies what i want to do.

sounds like it has some kind of protection on it which prohibits it from being played/copied to other devices...

Shadownet. Flash working

Watching Showtime right now on this website. Set user agent to Android. This is a work around until we get the real deal.
http://www.shadownet.ro/channels.php
I'm sorry. Download Skyfire from market. You'll need that browser.

Amazing. These are the posts I like to see as opposed to the whiny ones.
This launch is taking me back to the G1 launch...

Explain what you did, what you downloaded...every detail please.

For some reason Skyfire is able to stream flash content on this site. Click on the video icon and wait for it to buffer. You'll see the player pop up and then the live channel streams.

Skyfire uses a server based flash implementation..it decodes flash video on a server and sends it to you in h.264.
This is not flash on the xoom.

I think he's just trying to explain skyfire has always run flash in browser. It's not a recent work around or even something new, and it works on pretty much all flash videos.

No, it's not.

Exactly - it has nothing to do with Flash.
I am curious how long will they be able to keep it up - who is paying for all this traffic created and servers.
Skyfire is no longer providing its services in Poland - maybe they start to be the victim of their own success?
I want to see real Flash and if I will be able to watch HULU for free like on the PC.

Justin tv viewer app on nexus 4

Does Justin tv viewer app work on nexus 4 ? Does anyone has new version of justin tv viewer app apk file ...
Thanks

Why don't you try it?
UPDATED:
December 8, 2012
and is compatible according to GPlay Store

By justin.tv you probably mean twitch.tv? If so twitch has been working just fine forme. Have been streaming league of legends for a while now on Xylons Rom. Just search up twitch.tv on the playstore it's free.

You should google that.
I looked at the play store page and it says it's compatible with all of my devices including my Nexus 4.
Don't expect to be spoonfed everything! You're new here so I gave you a break....learn to search for answers before asking simple questions. Simple questions are a waste of bandwidth and server space.

Agreed
@narupls: Twitch and JustinTV are two different things. They are owned by the same company and are very similar. Twitch is primarily for gaming and JustinTV is for the non-gaming side of things
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS50dmNoYW5uZWx2aWV3Il0. is the app that OP was mentioning.

Thanks for clearing that up, I am just so used to the gaming side of justin.tv so I thought he meant twitch cause they made the merge of the gaming section of justin.tv over to twitch.tv.

Same here, I'm used to twitch. Stream some games from time to time and use it to mainly watch tournaments during the week and weekend. About to watch some NASL when it kicks off in two minutes actually!
Some people still use JustinTV, I remembered watching soccer on there a few years back. I still feel that the TwitchTV Android App needs to be improved, the iOS version is so much superior. Right now theres no support for your user account (whom I'm following) and there is a significant delay on the stream using the app when watching what you watch on the desktop.
