Hey all,
I'm outputting video from my vibrant to my tv using a 3.5mm to rca cable. Video outputs fine, but I was wondering if there is anyway to turn off the phone's display while playing video or movie. By pressing the screen off button in the video player, all that happens is a touchscreen lock, that's it. So perhaps I'm missing something? maybe there's another video player out there that can achieve what I'm looking for? if anyone can shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated, thank you
Kevin
+1... i'd also like to know if this is possible... but hopefully a good video player that plays divx...xvid..and others alike...
I think you would actually need a video player that will actually support the vibrant's tv out feature. As of yet, there its no way to turn it off...how else would you control the screen then?...

Does anybody at Mad Catz have a thought on the matter? The hardware should be more than capable of running Netflix on a large screen without audio sync issues. Can you provide a proper app?

They seem to be more responsive if you write on their Facebook page.

We're not seeing any audio sync issues here, and going by reports from other users neither is anyone else. What's your complete hardware setup and do you get any sync issues with other programs such as xbmc or YouTube?
I'm just waiting on HD Netflix...Quality on Netflix on MOJO is severely lacking. I don't have any audio problems (at the moment), but the video is very pixelated.
Streaming YouTube and other movie apps in 1080 or 720 works perfectly for me 85% of the time. I'm thinking my few issues with those is because my wireless router just reached 12 years old and is constantly dropping signal.....Going this weekend to buy a new one.

TV is an LG 47" LED 120Hz. No audio sync issue with YouTube. Haven't tried xbmc.

Actually, I was a bit hasty with my previous reply. My hardware set up includes a home theater sound system where the audio loops back through the TV. If I use the TV speaker, the lag is barely noticeable. If I turn off the TV speaker and use the amplifier, there is a very noticeable lag.

Yes, I was wondering if there was an amp in the loop, although the fact that it only does it for Netflix is a bit odd. Could you clarify though: are you connecting MOJO into the amp which then passes to the TV or are you connecting into the TV which is then passing audio to the amp (and, if so, what kind of connection? Optical? Phono?). If it is the latter then some amps have settings to accommodate for audio lag.

The MOJO is connected directly to the TV via an HDMI cable. Likewise, the amplifier, which is a Sony Model # STR-DH520, is also connected directly to the TV via an HDMI cable. I looked thru the manual and found a "SYNC ON" setting which delays the "output of audio to minimize the time gap between output and visual display" The delay time given is 60ms. I'll play around with it later today and see what impact it has. Maybe I had it on when it should have been off, or vice-a-versa. Thanks for the input on this!
I guess you're using all of the HDMI inputs on the amp already?

I will confess to having bought the TV and amp, etc., two years ago, and now I don't really remember what led me to make the setup choices I made at the time, but no, I wasn't using all the HDMI inputs on the amp, and frankly, I didn't even check to see if it had available HDMI inputs on the amp when I connected the MOJO. Connecting the MOJO directly into the amp and ensuring the correct A/V sync setting eliminated the delay completely. Thanks!

I have audio sync issues too. Audio seems to lag behind the video. And always when I watch netflix, the screen flashes, like gets smaller, idk how to describe it, often when watching shows. No matter what shows I watch it always does this. Probably 20 times at least throughout an hour long show.

If you've read this entire thread, you're aware my problem was similar to yours. I too had seen the occasional screen "flash" when watching Netflix. I'd recommend plugging your MOJO directly into your TV, using the TV's speaker, and eliminating any other hardware that might be in the loop in order to see if the issue truly lies in your MOJO, and is not being caused by some other component. Connecting my MOJO directly to my amp solved all my audio sync issues.

Mine is directly hooked up thru the TVs HDMI port. No difference if I have anything else plugged into the TV or not
And you're only using the TV's speaker? (rather than then output your TV's audio to an external speaker/amp?)
Are you running the 0110 firmware release and do you see the same issue with other video playback programs?

Yes, using the TV's speaker. My mojo came with the 0110 firmware release. Only Netflix has this issue. Have reset my wireless router to make sure that wasn't the problem either. Mojo is the only hardware hooked up to this tv.
If it would help, I could capture a video of what it's doing on my phone.

I no longer have any audio sync issues, but I do still see the occasional "flash" while watching Netflix. It looks like the image changes sizes for a fraction of a second. Haven't seen it with any other App.

Yes, that's the same problem I have with Netflix (along with the audio sync issues). It doesn't bother me enough to not watch it but it can be disorienting when watching at nite in a dark room. It does it a lot for me. I notice it the most when scenes change.
Edit:
I just got root tonight. I see on the Play Store that I can now update Netflix to the latest version. I will do that and get back to ya'll and see if that changes anything! As soon as I'm done downloading more games....
Ok, so last night I went out and bought a new TV for my MOJO. Picked up a 42" Sharp 1080p 120hz LED. I don't know if it's because this TV is 120hz compared to my 2010 32" Vizio 1080p 60hz, but the Netflix issue has been resolved. No more audio sync issues. I also noticed this TV has a Clear Motion setting, I have it set to on. Not sure if this has something to do with it either. Anyways, it's fixed, for now.
BTW, anyone looking for a deal on a TV of this relative size, it's a steal. Only $399 at Best Buy. The picture is awesome, and 120hz over 60hz is a night and day difference. Much more clear during on screen motion than my old tv. I'm very impressed. I can't imagine how good a 240hz or 480hz set looks like.
Edit:
Forgot to mention, the screen flashing/resizing is still happening. Very annoying. I really feel this is an issue with the app itself, hopefully it's getting fixed with an update. Can't wait to start watching in HD aswell...
When I connect Micro HDMI to HDMI cable to my Monitor, it works in 720p mode. How to use 1080p i.e FullHD mode. My monitor is 1080p.
..... ..... .....
Also there is no option to increase/decrease vol, the volume just stays at 100%. Can't even access the sound/volume adjustments from settings app.
Is it possible t use tn7's speakers instead of monitor's speakers. How to enable TN7's speakers when connected via HDMI? ( My monitor's speakers are bad. )
... ... ...
I also want to try a USB hub with charging and pen-drive/Game controller/ connected at the same time. Is this possible that simultaneously it will charge also?
..... ..... .....
Well, to answer about 1080p, it will only output at 1080p if you are playing a 1080p video; there is no way to change the resolution for things like games, etc.
Second, I believe it only outputs audio through HDMI when that is hooked up; it cuts off the built-in speakers the same way plugging in headphones does.
As for a USB hub, I'll leave that to someone else since I've never tried it myself. Hope that helped!

Thanks rchrdcrg. I played some 1080p videos and it filled my entire monitor screen. Web browsing/riptide gp2 was still in 720p as you said.
My Mad Catz MOJO console has an issue: When set to 1080p, the screen image is a little too zoomed in. Obscuring the edges and losing part of the picture. I've tried messing around with Tv controls and thought maybe my Tv was interpeting the signal wrong. Nope, even when setting the picture to "normal" which results in a tiny box in the center, the edges are still obscured.
So i get the idea to try setting it to 720P instead.... image looks great and fits my screen perfectly. However, now there is no sound whatever! I've tried plugging in headphones into the headphone jack to check that as well, and there is sound. However, none outputted through the Tv. I have the latest firmware by the way, and even tried downgrading to an earlier one. Same issue for both.
Lastly, i tried using different HDMI ports. All (3) ports on my HD-TV had the same result.
I've managed to make a bearable fix by downloading a screen settings app that lets me change the resolution but, it could be better. The screen height is perfect but, i lose some width on the sides. At least i can see the full image now.
My question is: Does your MOJO also refuse to output sound at 720p? Is my unit defective?
I'd like to know so i can try exchanging it to amazon for another one.
Just tried it out, sound works flawless in 720p Mode.
I cant get a video output on lineage os. I am using an offical dock the usbs on the dock work just cant get audio or video. Update i get audio and a pure white screen on my other display. My 1440p monitor gets nothing and my 1080p tv just gets a white screen. can you change the output resoltution? seems like that might be the culprit

Did you find a solution, i CAN get video output to my tv to work with the official nintendo dock, just not a 3rd party, though the 3rd party works fine for regular nintendo mode.
