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?

(first of all, I did search the forum and I did apply a "HDMI mirror disable" fix under gingerbread thread, but it didn't solve my problem)
while I play mkv on my atrix entertainment center which connects to TV via HDMI cable, I can hear the audio and the phone displays the remote control, the TV will show the initial entertainment center navigation "photo, video, music" etc, but as soon as video starts playing, the TV screen goes blank and only shows progress bar when I click pause button on the phone remote. I did notice the phone still displays a portion (prob 1 pixel height) of the video behind the remote control on the phone screen.
I am sure the atrix can play the video as I can view it on the phone's screen while HDMI cable was disconnected.
what else can I try?
Please tell us some more information. What is running on your phone at the moment? Stock firmware or a ROM? Is your phone rooted with/or bootloader unlocked? What other modifications have you done to your phone?
All these things matter.

Disable HDMI mirroring and it should fix the problem.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991595 and download the HDMI mirroring disabler under Addons & Hacks.
is there any chance, to add AC3 audio codec support to it?
It really is a fantastic player, but lack of most popular audio codec makes it kind of useless.
I tried connecting the tab to my 720p TV and all I get is the android mascot saying 720p? The sound however plays if I play some video. Does anyone else have this problem?
gIVE MORE INFO IT SHOULD JUST WORK
first ..
is your tablet Stock . some custom roms have issues with hdmi..
have you tested the cable with another device.. the micro hdmi cable seems to have a very high defective rate.
With the above known issues ..
if you are stock and you have your tv on the correct input device setting.
try connecting the cable set the tv correctly.. as in hdmi 3 in the tvs menue and the cable connected to port 3..
turn off both ..
turn on tv set it hdmi 3.
turn off your tablet. plug in the cable to iconia.. turn on tablet.. see if this works..
others have said this helps.. my hdmi port would not work correctly when i got my tablet had to hold the hdmi cable just right. this was only temporary for some reason.. g
GOOD LUCK..
Is the picture your seeing with the android figure on your Iconia or your tv?? Or both??? You should see a mirror image of your iconia on the tv. If your getting the message on the tv and the iconia is displaying its normal desktop image than your tv may not support 720p input or your iconia couldn't negotiate the resolution with your tv. Try a different hdmi port or a different tv and see what happens.
its stock with the latest os. The message only shows up on the TV. TV definitely supports 720p as that's what I am outputting my TV stb and my streaming box to. Hopefully this is just a case of a defective microusb cable. I could try it another TV, but it wouldn't tell me if the ddevice is defective or the cable. I guess I will have to buy another microusb cable aand hope it works.
If your seeing an image on your tv than I don't think its the cable. The Iconia just may not be able to talk to your tv properly. I would try it on another tv if able just to confirm. Also, turn your tv off, fully power down your tablet, plug together, first turn on tv, after tv is up and running then turn on your iconia. It seems to me that something is going on with the hdmi handshake and this should get your devices to talk to each other in the correct order.

My Iconia works fine, but I had this same issue on an older Toshiba laptop, and these procedures worked every time.
So I tried the above instructions turning both devices on, connecting, turning tv on first and then the iconia but still the same result. The green android mascot with the 720p? speech bubble. I guess I will have to try another tv somewhere.
Same issue for me, I bought this cable today for 19,99 €.
I read in an another thread (not in xda), that the problem is solved with a high quality cable (hdmi 1.3 or more, 39,99 €).
Or directly in the acer store : here.

Are you on a stock rom near stock.. Some of the Well cooked roms could have a issue with this function.. If you are on a custom rom.. Go to the rom developers thread and ask this Question . If you are on stock 3.2.1 the most current . I would try if you can to test your cable. If the cable is not bad Call ACER (GOOD LUCK WITH THAT). I know mine I put the cable in back of tv on HDMI 4 . SET THE TV Input to hdmi 4 and plug it in..
anyway good luck also people have said they needed to wiggly around there cable use caution doing so..
im using a 6€ cable from some cheap market and everything works fine with thors kernel 3.9r4..
i had many troubles with hdmi and other kernels.. tv and tablet have to be on and then plug in the cable.. thats the only way to get it working for me

Exact same thing happening to me now. Did you get it sorted?
Make sure your on stock kernel, if that isnt it then i dont know what to tell you.
Good Luck!!
I had a similar issue with wireless display sharing. I found a thread that recommended using Triangle Away - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway which got me back up and running.
I'm on stock. Had the same problem but there is a patch in the play store. I think it is called "screenmirroringpatch".
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.
