When I play a video recorded with the Vibrant it plays back with green and red interference like snow (white tv snow). I am not rooted. I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem/if there is a fix? If not I will be exchanging it after work today.
No problem here. Have you tried a different video

Yeah. It's only happening with videos I recorded from the Vibrant. The videos I have from my G1 don't do it and Avatar doesn't do it. I put a video up on youtube to show what it is I am talking about.

So I'm waiting for my hdmi cable to come from monoprice, and I'm getting kind of anxious. I was just curious if anybody converted 720p videos and played them on a large hdtv, and how it worked out. Was there smooth playback, was there an audio delay, is the quality what you expected? Also, how are games displayed? I saw a video of someone playing angry birds on the Evo but the frame rate was pretty bad.
I got my HDMI cable yesterday. I haven't tried converting any videos and playing them on my 46 inch HD TV, but I did stream a TWiT TV video on the Xoom and mirrored it on the TV. It looked really good. The sound synced up fine, but it carries the audio on the HDMI so I had to turn up the volume on my TV to hear it. I think I'll either have to route the audio out on my TV to my stereo or I'll have to send the headphone jack of the Xoom to my stereo.
Since the Xoom screen has a vertical resolution of 800 pixels and the HDMI out is running at 720, some of the top and bottom of the screen gets cut off. If you are playing a 720 video that shouldn't be an issue though.
I'll try playing Angry Birds on it and see how the frame rate looks. I didn't notice any degredation in the frame rate though while I was playing around with it yesterday.
After playing with it for an hour or so I was pretty happy with the way it looked. I'm waiting for Flash so I can see how Netflix mirrored to my TV looks. Now you've got me wondering though. I'm going to RIP a DVD and see how it looks mirrored to my TV from the Xoom.

Netflix doesn't use flash though so it won't do you any good unless you're using an app like Playon.
I used it last night. (no 720p source)
Mainly on the Youtube app and got some issues.
Now the cable I got was 15' from amazon, but who knows how good it is.
I'm connecting it to a 27" PC monitor that has been wonky with my cable box (I think its the cable box's issue)
But that said, it restarted my Xoom 3 times. Videos would play fine and then freeze, with the tap to restart message. Audio would be out of sync for awhile, and then catch up, or freeze. Im thinking it might be the app though, I don't have any other media on it to play though. When it was working, the quality was great (other than the HQ youtube) menus looked sharp, sound was perfect.
Ill try and move some 720p Community episodes over tonight and see how they look.
+1 for community.
Hopefully it is just the youtube app, it seems a lot of people either hit or miss with that. I don't know, since day one, I have had what I would consider a relatively low amount of force closes (maybe 1-2 per day) with random stuff here or there, but some people talk about it like they can't use it at all. The 1-2 is with several hours of various usage per day, and the force close is usually when trying to open an app, not even when I'm doing anything important. I never had any wiggling on the upper half of the Palm Pre from a release day launch, never had any issues with the Evo Maybe I'm just lucky.
I bet my Xoom explodes tonight.
converting a 720p movie on my xoom tonight and trying it out..
also youtube has massive problems to begin with soo, naturally the mirroring was horrible

I have Despicable Me, 720p version, on my Xoom, plugged it in with the Micro HDMI to My 50" Samsung - looked great I thought. Mouthing I slightly off, but thats how it is on my Xoom to so no changes with that. I also played Mario Cart with the N64 App and the Wiimote hooked up. Worked great!
I have Avatar, Startrek & Transformers 2 on my device played them all via HDMI using the Rock Player app and it was perfect sound was in sync and no lag.
Played Nes & Snes and both were great too. Web browsing was also very solid.
Only one issue and that was the YouTube app. Its an app issue not tablet or HDMI... that app is unstable at best usually anyways and Google needs to update it.

Playon is the plan. Works great on my Samsung Epic that I rooted and installed Froyo on.
I made a video for this.

P.S. Oh and if you liked it please like, comment, and subscribe as I am in the process of trying to become a youtube partner so I can help off set the cost of buying all my gadgets, and hopefully eventually start giving the stuff I review away to my viewers. Thanks
Edit: Just wanted to say that the TV in the video is a 55" 1080p TV.

I have the same problem with the YouTube app when on wifi and no hdmi. I have not tried too much on wireless since I don't want to burn through my cap but the few I tried worked better. Regardless I am inclined to say it is the app and not the HDMI out.

I am a long time lurker but rarely post. This is my first time creating a thread. I always hated watching movies through HDMI and still having the Transformer screen on mirroring. Well the ICS update must have done something good or maybe an upgrade to the MX Video Player. I put a family movie on tonight (running stock ICS 9.2.1.17) and played it using MX Video Player Free from market. To my delight, when I plugged in the HDMI, the Transformer screen went blank. It was still on but displayed nothing but a blank black screen. Hooray, as myself and others on this forum have looked for solutions or work around to turn off the mirroring. Now the Transformer screen is on, because I can see the backlight slightly. It is nice to use the Transformer, only as a player, when using the HDMI, with the big screen TV, for movie night.

are you using hardware or software mode?
subtitles works too?
That's great news! ICS is great
Huh? It's been doing that since Honeycomb.
The screen was blanking for me on 9.2.1.11 and MX Video player as well.

Using hw decoding mode always screen is not showing anything.This was happening in honeycomb too.
On the other hand I noticed that HDMI out using sw decoding its less cropped in the new update than it used to be before.I was expecting subs to be displayed using hw decoding but still nothing:/

The player is acknowledging Hardware Playback and yes subtitles work too.
There is anyway to use hdmi out at 1080p?
Does the same thing with NETFLIX. Tablet screen goes black while playing video over HDMI. It did not do this in Honeycomb.

Good to know. I had not tried that out yet. All my videos are playing through HW decoding on MX Video Player. So I can't comment on screen display. I did however accidentally leave the subtitle file in the directory of one of my movies (*.srt) and subtitles did play a bottom of screen. Can't remember if I had it hooked to HDMI or was using SW decoding.
Hello fellow galaxy note users. I have been using international version of note for 3 months but i get black screen when i take a screenshot a video playing in video player. The phone is not rooted and runs on samsung's tojchwiz interface. Please help.

Thanx

I am having the same problem. Not in a third party video player such as Mobo player. But when watching flash videos or playing html5 videos all i get is a black screenshot.
I could imagine that it is hardware related, and a questioof the OS being to busy playing video to also take screenshot. If your problem is with the native video player. Try a third party player.
If your problem is with flash, html5 or native player. Tuff luck.. Maybe hope for a fix in the Q2 ICS update..
The situation is the same when it comes to pressing "Print Screen" while watching a movie on a normal PC. I don't know why is that, but you'll also get a black screen, after pasting the image into Paint for example...
To my best knowledge its not possible to take video Screenshots,they will turn out black screens.
Guys I have this problem before.
Just install rockplayer open the video using the app. (Not on file manager)
So you can coos sw or hw mode.
Glhf!

If you open the video in Video Maker you can pause it where you want and then go to edit it with the SPen and take a screen shot.
It will have the SPen edit screen menu items along the top though.
You could always crop them out without losing too much of the picture.
HTH,
Rich
I am not sure if my theory is correct, you may try install player like mxplayer which can chose software decode mode manually. From what i see screenshot is not possible when video playing with hardware decode mode.
Thanx everybody but I think this is a bug in the OS and I hope it will be fixed in the next update. I am not a fan of third party video players so I have not tried taking a screenshot while playing videos in them.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Just to clarify, Video Maker is the video editor from Samsung that comes stock with the Note, so you don't have to install anything new.
Ya that's right but it would have been better to do it from video player rather than the editor.. I hope you agree.

This is really annoying. You can play a video using HDMI out to a TV and it plays full screen, as long as it is from Google movies. However if you try and play a video of your own it isn't full screen. It is missing about 3cm each side. I can't work out why or how to change it as it has the ability to. Any ideas?
Thanks

Does it downscale the image to 1080p when you are in the UI? If not it might be that whatever app you are using is not yet set up for the N10.

Yeah it cuts the side bits off. Only time you get full screen is via Google movie store
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium HD app
Right, that's really odd. Wonder why they wouldn't have system-wide downscaling?

Here we go... Let's see if this actually better than the Infinity. I returned it just to buy this. I use HDMI out a lot...

Let me know if you have any luck outputting full screen
Yup. Huge bars on the side and can't get rid of the bottom bar like the tf700 can. I hope this is fixed. However, I messed with my bravia TV a little it is much better now. I'll post pics.
does audio work?

There is a thread with 3 different people saying video works but not audio.

I'd also like to know.
I get sound, but both the sound and video stutter in Google play movies. Tried ice age and planet earth, both stuttered badly. Hoping this is just one of those things that will be fixed in an update.
I have had my Nexus 10 for about a week now and really like it. This YouTube issue is something that needs to be addressed. Ice Age plays full screen perfect 1080p smooth as silk. YouTube plays at lower quality in a black frame. It also plays on the tablet screen when plugged into HDMI to TV. Make the YouTube app perform like the Google Play app please
Any news on that?
I find that the youtube app won't go full screen when HDMI is plugged in, any solution?
I'm reading everywhere that ppl say it's not outputting fullscreen.
At the chance of being simply wrong: did you ever take into account that the usual TV with its 1080p resolution (1920x1080) has a 16:9 screen ratio but the tablet with its 2560x1600 resolution clearly has a 16:10 screen reatio.
So it simply does not match. If just mirroring what is seen on the tablet... it will always have those black bars on the TV screen.
Or am I just not understanding what everyone barks about?
The transformer it's also 16:10. It removes the bars and (no need for them on the TV) and voila. It also blanks the screen when watching videos. That's one area where the tramsformer is a lot better, but it's a simple fix. You know, I'm not picky but it really annoys ke that such a simple thing to fix has not been addressed. How can you test the HDMI and not notice that and at least give some basic options. That type of thing is inexcusable. Watch them never give us any options.

Thanked because I have the same issue. Anyone figured it out?

Is there anyone on 4.2.1 who can actually play Google play movies with hdmi out onto their TV?
Mine just stops at the "HDMI Screen" when I try to play the free ice age with a progress spinner in the middle, and other logs in logcat either that might explain the issue ( no logs at all). It's connected to my Samsung D8000 which is definitely HDCP compliant. I've never had it working. The film will play fine though when HDMI is not plugged in. It's really annoying cause I refuse to buy or rent films if I can't hook up to my TV.

I have no problem watching movies or TV shows with the Google Play Movies app, connected to a 46" Sharp TV. Audio & video are fine. There is the occasional stutter, but nothing too bad. I've only played shows off battery - I haven't tried it while charging yet, though I can't believe that would make a difference.

Just tried again on my TV and on my computer monitors, all are fully HDCP compliant. It's either the tablet or the cable cause it doesn't work with any of those screens, just stops at spinner on HDMI Screen every time.
Unfortunately I don't have another device or another cable to rule out which is not the cause.
