hi.
i'm using my nexus 4 (CM 10.1 nightly from last week) and an SlimPort to HDMI adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009UZBLSG) on my Samsung TV.
when i connect the phone, it switches to landscape but the screen is black. it is connected ("no signal" disappears on TV) but i have no picture.
if i open up YouTube and play a video, i see the video on BOTH (TV and phone) but i have NO CONTROLS on my TV.
any video i found showing SlimPort shows a direct mirroring of the mobiel screen on the TV.
when using miracast (samsung dongle) i have a perfect mirror with all the controls (and on youtube only the video) - thats fine.
how can i get simple screen mirroring with SlimPort?
is there any setting to disable "multi-monitor" and use "mirroring"?
tanks in advance.
It's the same for me.
I am using my Nexus4 with [ROM][JB 4.2.2][PA3.15][AOKP-MR1][CM10.1]P.A.C True All in 1 ROM[09/04][V22.0.2]
Slimport plugged in to Nexus+TV: Picture only on TV. Nexus 4 Screen is on but black.
After pluggin out the slimport: Picture back on Nexus 4.
This issue was fixed in M3 for CM ("experimental" build from the 11th), and the fix is in the most recent nightly as well.

I just bought a Samsung 32F6400 tv, wich has screen mirroring that is designed to work just with samsung phones/tablets.
I turned on wireless display on my phone, it connects to the tv, and after that i get a 2-3 sec black screen on the tv, and then it says Screen mirroring off/disabled...
Did anyone get this to work on a samsung tv ?
problem with Samsung
I also have a Samsung TV 2013 edition and when I try connecting via miracast it says connected then the TV stops and exits miracast mode, however the nexus 4 did work with my freind's lg smart TV and my brother's note 2 worked on my TV so I'm guessing that the problem is with Samsung not the nexus. And I was using stocl android 4.3 ....:crying:
I'm hoping there's a port to make it work with Nexus phones.. Anyone?

I have a Sony Bravia, a Panasonic Viera and Samsung pn43d490(doesn't work) and screen mirror and slimport works great with sony and panasonic, but the phone screen still on all the time, I want to turn the phone screen off while using netflix, please need help
I just got a Sammy Allshare dongle that comes w/ a wall charger and an hdmi cable, hooked it up and enabled Screen Mirroring from settings. I see the dongle and select it, but other than getting the mirroring symbol on the notification bar, nothing happens, no home screen on the tv. It just shows the Samsung instructions. After a while signal goes away and the TV goes dark and searches for signal.
I also try to do it directly from the video player, choose the mirroring optipn, select the dongle, and it just says "processing" and nothing ever happens. The video file playing has 1080p resolution if that matters.
Has anyone got the allshare dongle to work with any Beans build, or does it require stock ffirmware?
It blocks the receiving of normal TV channels (via DVB-C), my Samsung TV is saying there is no signal coming in. As soon as I disconnect the player (remove HDMI or remove power from Nexus Player) my TV is instantly back to normal. As soon as i make the Nexus Player work again (with normal TV selected as a source) the error is comming back. I can repeat this as many times I want, the picture comes and disapears.
Android TV on Nexus Player is up to date, the software on the Samsung TV (UE40H6470) as well. I tested it on all the hdmi sockets on the TV.
With other HDMI Devices I connect to the TV this problem never appeared.
Any ideas how this could be solved? What could be the reason?

1. I'm thinking a bad hdmi cable, so swap it if you can.
2. Hook the Nexus Player to another TV and see what happens.
3. Maybe a goofy setting in the TV, do a factory reset on the TV and see if that helps.
4. much less likely a power problem, but try a different outlet or different surge protector.
Running into an odd issue where my Nexus Player (latest stable 5.1.1 release IIRC) will instantly lose the HDMI connection when I try playing a movie through Google Play Movies & TV. The weird thing is, the moment I press the back button to go back to the app's menu, it reconnects.
I'm using this HDMI switch (name printed here since I can't link to outside links): Kinivo 501BN Premium 5 port High speed HDMI switch with IR wireless remote and AC Power adapter - supports 3D, 1080p
Not sure if because I'm using this HDMI switch that it's causing the issue. I can watch YouTube and other stuff fine, and my Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV both play movies without an issue.
Having the Same Problem
I am having the same problem. Have you tried to bypass the switch?
It sounds to me like it's some sort of DRM which takes effect when the movie playback begins and is triggered because of the HDMI switch in between your Nexus Player and TV. A direct HDMI cable test is the only way to know for sure.
When I first got my switch and connected to my dvr I could not fast forward without the screen going black.
I plugged my nexus player straight into an hdmi port and the movies worked.

Yeah, that was my thought.
Sadly, though, I don't really have the space to give one of my three spots just to the Nexus when my other streaming devices work as intended, so I'll just have to ignore using that app until there's a fix down the road, if there's one.
I am no longer getting video as of today on my Nexus Player, on my Panasonic TV. Audio works fine still, and the Google logo shows up, so HDMI isn't dead.
Just finished doing a format and flash to the latest Marshmallow version out for Fugu, and the issue persists.
Any idea what's going on with this thing?
Thanks!
Solved! Had to do a hardware reset of my Yamaha AV Receiver - seems to be a known rare issue with my model.
Instructions how to do this on the Yamaha RX-V377: http://faq.yamaha.com/us/en/article/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/rx-v377_black_u/10790/8325
Crazy. I run full android M on nexus and it worked fine on my Samsung TV. But I took it to work and the sharp TV in the break room would say "received unsupported video output" and go blank after the google logo. My Panasonic TV will display but everything gets very distorted and artifacted. I also have a Yamaha receiver however I am using an HDMI port directly into the TV. I also noticed the Samsung TV in the office at work. Had mo issues either..
