Google Play videos do not play via HDMI cable to my TV. They play fine on the tablet screen, but not via HDMI. All other videos play fine via , e.g., YouTube, Netflix, Crackle, etc. Even my first tablet (Vizio) works fine via HDMI with Google Play videos. Anyone else having this issue? Yes, my TVs are all HDCP compliant.
Same Issue
I'm having the same issue and can not for the life of me find any information on it. It worked fine prior to 4.2.1 but now it just shows as loading regardless of the media being located on the device or coming from Google's servers.
First no Miracast and now this?
I guess I wont be updating to 4.2.1 just yet then as its working fine on my n10. Stock non rooted.

This has been a issue with every tablet I've had. I've been told that they don't play out of the HDMI out for security and licensing reasons.

Then how is it that I can play my Google Play movies. Even the 2min previews on movies works just fine through HDMI to my Phillips 50inch LCD tv

Does the free ice age movie count? That's what I can play on my Samsung TV.

Previews for Google Play videos play fine via HDMI on my Nexus 10, but not the actual purchased or rented videos. Have gotten no answers from Google support.

Have you tried playing previews from the play store bazbazbaz? Through the HDMI out that is
Both of the free movies I've had (Transformers: DOTM and Ice Age) play fine via HDMI. I've not purchased or rented any other content so I can't comment further than that.
I'm on rooted 4.2.1, but it works fine unrooted too.
I've noticed though that the previews play as a mirrored screen, whereas the actual movies play as an additional external display with the tablet display having the video controls on.
I'm in the UK if it helps at all; not sure if its worth tracking to see if it's an issue only affecting certain countries?
Google Play Movies will only stream through HDMI if your display support HDCP over HDMI...

I tested last night and have the same issue, I can mirror just fine, but when I get the "HDMI Screen" page for Google Play videos it just stays there with the spinner and won't play.
Can those of you who have this working chime in on this one; Do you guys have your bootoaders "locked"?
The only difference I can see is that I'm rooted (others say it works for them rooted), modified kernel (anyone else?) and my bootloader is still unlocked.
I'll make a Nandroid backup tonight and relock to see if that has any effect.
My television (Samsung 46" LED) is most certainly HDCP compliant. I do have the tablet connected to the ARC (Audio Return Channel) which could potentially be an issue, but I'll swap that later too, just to make sure.
Darn
anyone able to shed any light on this? I have relocked and temp unroot but nothing, it just completely refuses to play while HDMI is connected, it just still is at a page that says "HDMI Screen" with a spinner and a picture of a TV and that is it.
Just to make it worse, the latest update to YouTube won't let you full screen a video while HDMI is connected. You have to full screen it then plug HDMI in to get full screen.
I am 100% stock and unable to play anything out of the play store on my n10, however I still have my transformer infinity around and that is able to so I don't think it's a play store issue...

I purchased an episode of a TV show from the Playstore. It won't play on my TV either. Everything played fine on my old Acer Iconia. Now I purchase an actual Google device and it doesn't work?
It plays on my tablet, but the instant I plug the hdmi cable into the tablet it goes to some "hdmi" screen and won't play. Has anyone found a fix for this? Google support was useless. Their only suggestion was to download instead of stream. Neither works. Very disappointing because my "old eyes" enjoy things much better on my 46" TV as opposed to my tablet.

Agreed, still no fix found here, but I absolutely refuse to buy or rent anything until I know I can play it on my 46" TV. It's just obsurd.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for a fixed in the next Android release, otherwise I'll just forget Google Play movies exists entirely.
I just wish I knew of a player that would full screen my own content on the TV then it wouldn't be an issue.

Twonky + Roku = perfection for casting/streaming local videos in the bedroom, but I would love to find a solution for the living room where the humongous tv is. I get that I can buy Chromecast or such and stream that way, but with a tight budget we're hoping to run the blu-ray player til it dies The blu-ray player streams youtube, netflix, amazon, hulu, etc, and I've gotten so far as to download one app, PlayTo Sony, which displayed the name of my device on the screen, but showed no media to play, so got part-way there but no cigar.

does your tv have wifi? I think there are android apps that you can share content on your phone to the tv through wifi

Only the Blu-ray player has wifi. TV isn't a smart TV.

is the blu ray DLNA compatible? I think that is the only way it will work, if it is DLNA you can try the Skifta app

Yes, BDP-S570 shows DLNA yes. I got skifta to go so far as displaying all my musical artists/albums on the TV, no luck with the video section and wouldn't play any music files either says no file to play.

Hi everyone. One of the biggest things I use XBMC for is accessing my MLB TV premium subscription in HD on the TV as I don't have an xbox or other system to support it.
I know with an Apple TV that the resolution is perfect HD out to the TV. Is this the same for OUYA?
When I plug my S4 into the MHL cable, it's a decent picture, but certainly a much lower resolution than the XBMC feeds.
Does anyone have any feedback about the screen resolution using OUYA and at bat application.
Certainly I know I can continue to use XBMC and MLB on ouya, but I really love the native crash free setup.
Thanks,
Josh
When I connect my stock unrooted note 3 to samsung tv by hdmi the quality is only 30P. My tv tells me when I connect. I thought this phone was full hd? The picture is watchable but really disappointing. Is there any way to get full hd? Is there any way to wirelessly mirror screen without allshare? I don't want to look at pictures. I like to watch streaming video and it has no all share option. When I connect with hdmi I get true screen mirroring but only 30p. As long as I am looking at a ****ty picture it would be nice to do it wirelessly. I saw a thread that suggested using direct wifi but that does not do anything. Any ideas? Thanks.
What kind of streaming video exactly?

I feel the same way. I've bought a bunch of Nexus devices over the years, but this one is a big disappointment, it's going back. I just need a simple box that does Netflix and XBMC well. Fire TV here I come -- on sale for $69 today.
I tried playing movies from the Google movie store and my AVR shows "Multi Ch. In" so it is PCM multi channel. Same for Plex. But not for the Netflix app.
XBMC side loaded can do DD and DTS bitstreaming but no sign of DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD bitstreaming. Not sure whether it's a hardware limitation, XBMC, HDCP fun, etc.
