Anyone use a hdmi output for mate 8 ? Or any info would be great
You can have push photos, videos as well as games output to your TV set which supports HDMI.
Settings - Smart assistance - Multi-screen
Read guide of your Android set-top box in order to pair it to your mate 8, please.

This is screen mirror (as via WIFI), not HDMI (as via cable).
AFAIK Mate 8 doesn't do HDMI.

For anyone who is interested, I have both a Slingbox Pro & a Hava/Monsoon/Vulkano Pro.
Both of these devices have Android players available to stream live TV to your phone although the Vulkano app is a free DL & the Sling app is $30 (it should be free)
These two devices are completely different & each has distinct advantages over the other. The Vulkano records to a 1 TB hard drive so it works as a DVR but only at 720p resolution & if you want to watch it on your phone you need to record at an even lower resolution.
The Slingbox has two tuners in it, which is really handy as I can hook my High Def cable box to one tuner & basic cable to the other. I can then watch a different channel on the phone than the home TV is set on. The Slingbox will work fine with no TV connection at all, which is a HUGE advantage over the Vulkano which has no internal tuner at all.
The Vulcano HAS to be hooked to a TV & then it only provides a 720p signal to the TV which is a noticeable downgrade in picture quality on my 50" LCD TV. It does provide really good quality streaming video quality however, better than the Slingbox on the phone.
So basically, the Vulkano gives a better image on your phone, but degrades the image on the TV it's hooked to. The Slingbox doesn't need a TV connection at all, but doesn't record & charges for the software app.
there is a way to get free app for sling, sorta if you subscribe to dish i believe their dish app connects to their sling adapter and you can sling for free as long as you are subscribed to their satellite service, one thing i am sure of they have an android app because i have seen it in the market and its free.
Which one will let you burn the show to a disc from your laptop? Or add items already on your dvr to the device to take and watch?

You can do both with the Vulkano.
I also had the slingbox pro and it was giving me a jacked up pic on Win 7, tried everything (some posts said to change win themes, etc.- none of it worked, which is why I got a Vulkano).
The only real drawbacks to the Vulkano are that it doesn't record to your PC in HD and only passes 720p resolution to the TV (from what I've read- not a big deal if you have an HDMI cable running to your TV and component running to the Vulkano, which I do), and it only has capability for one video input at a time (so no hooking up your DVD player and TV at the same time).
One of the cool features of the Vulkano is that you can record whatever program you're watching directly onto the laptop you're watching it on, or you can record it to an external hard drive connected to the Vulkano- you choose. Plus you can program remote signals into the vulkano (I haven't done it yet, so I don't know how well it works). It also records into mp4 format (H.264).
I bought a component switch ($26) that works by remote and plan on hooking up my blue ray that does streaming netflix so I can get whatever I want streaming from netflix onto my HTC HD2 (with dual boot to android- vulkano doesn't have an ap for windows based phones as of yet, I know, it's supposed to- but they can still play the mp4s).
I can let you know how it works out once it arrives if you like.
TestTube / Havafun
This is for anyone stuck with an older tv-box like the Hava Player [myhava.com/havamobileplayer.html] (Monsoon's predecessor to it's Vulkano products) i have. Check out [sites.google.com/site/overvoltagesoft/home/testtube] Over Voltage Soft's TestTube (avail. in market). TestTube is an:
Application for Android powered devices that allows owners of Hava place-shifter devices to watch and control their TV.
TestTube doesn't work like the commercial Hava Software that you've probably downloaded directly from Moonson Media. Instead of requiring a Username and Password to connect to your Hava, TestTube requires only the IP address of the device. Since this is a homebrew project that is unaffiliated with Monsoon Media, TestTube does not have access to the login servers which normally redirect you to your device.

Being that I run Ubuntu and there is no native client support I have to manually watch through the crappy RTSP stream and use just-barely-working scripts (see below) to channel change and all that. See: [sourceforge.net/projects/havafun] Havafun - A package of shell binaries that talk directly to the Hava video streaming device, control key features from the command line (particularly on linux), grab high quality "local" video stream (particularly on linux) for eventual inclusion into MythTV. I imagine almost the same thing could be done from an android box if anyone was interested and proficient enough.
Hope these links helped someone out heh look at me blatantly spamming some guy's app i'll be expecting my check in the mail, overvolatesoft developer guy.
Hi there,
I was wondering if it is possible to display movie streaming on TV via HDMI cable. I tried with Multimedia dock but it seems limited to display photo and video only from Atrix. I haven't tried music yet.
Thanks!
It may be makeshift, but if you do the webtop mod you can just expand the window of the emulated phone. Not sure how well it works tho
Stretching the mirror app in webtop mode works, sorta. The resolution and framerate suffer badly since it's not a true mirror, the phone's display is being rendered within the webtop session. Lotta extra overhead involved with that.
There's some HDMI mirroring threads in the dev section, but last I read it was only portrait mode, which isn't so hot for video playback.

i just watched Rio last night on my TV using the HDMI included. no need to aple webtop hack or anything as it launches the entertainment center. I got options for Movies Music and Video.
at first it said unplayable then i went back to the menu and choose it again and it worked. unless im getting your question wrong it should play right.
I can also say the same for my phone - the media hub thing pops up when I plug my phone into any HDMI device (TV, monitor) and I select movie or photo or music. it was like that even before I hacked my phone, its suppose to work that way.
Or am I misunderstanding your question?

Oh, i might have misunderstood him. I thought he was trying to stream content from his atrix web browser onto the tv.
Thank you for replies folks. What I am trying to do is to display content from a movie streamer app or web browser on tv via HDMI.
I wanted to play streaming audio via HDMI. I applied the HDMI mirroring hack, but unfortunately it only seems to mirror the video, not the audio. :-(
i have a hdtv adaptor, however, i just dont like cables hanging around...
i have seen some video about all share on youtube and i have a couple of questions.
1. does it only work with samsung tv or i can use it with any DLNA enable device like the WD tv? (i rather buy a wd tv hub or change my LCD tv lol)
2. how long will it take to load a 2 gb file? (it took about 10 sec to load a 50mb file when i watch it on youtube will it be similar or it will be significantly longer?)
3. does it only work with stock player or there are other player is available?
Thank you

1. It should work (should being the operative word) with any DLNA device to either send or receive.
2. It streams the file, rather than caches the whole thing...so, not any longer than a 1GB file, really.
3. If you're streaming from a DLNA server to the Tab, then you should be able to use other video apps.
If you have a DLNA enabled TV now then give it a try! My Panasonic TV doesn't play every type of codec but for the most part works well enough.

thanks for the reply! Not longer than 1 GB file that really is not point for this technology as most 720p or 1080p video is over 1gb

No, I meant that it won't take any longer since it's streaming. It's not caching the file.
It's much faster than loading a youtube video, since that can only use your connection's bandwith. DLNA streaming's speed is limited to you network speed, so it should be pretty fast.
Also you don't have to load the entire video, but only the beginning. The rest streams while watching.
I use the Samsung app almost daily to stream to a Samsung TV, but it also works with my computer as a receiver. Which files and codecs work for you depends on your TV, but generally it works.
My tablet pc has a micro HDMI port and the quality is super with my TV. In Windows 8 Pro, is there any way to send the tablet display to the TV wirelessly like AirPlay? Thanks!

If your TV is a Microsoft-certified DLNA device you can open the video in the video player, swipe up from the bottom to bring up the context menu, and select 'Play To'.
You can also swipe from the right in and select 'Devices' to get to the same menu.
Are there TV's like that, I mean MS certified - I have never seen info about it in any shop, regarding any TV.
Since I will be buying one soon I'd love to know some examples....
Or any DLNA TV will be able to do it...?

Any DLNA TV should be compatible, yes, but Microsoft added a restriction that only MS-certified ones would work.
I can't give any examples as I haven't looked into it. I do know that if you set it up right you can play to Windows Media Player as a DLNA player.

I habe a Sony 46ex720. Ans a Samsung ue40d5000.
My Sony is ms certified, Samsung is Not.
So maybe this can be said in general for Sony/Samsung tvs?
I own a CHANNEL MASTER Android set top box. I bought the thing so that I can continue to enjoy Over The Air free ATSC broadcast tv. The CHANNEL MASTER via GOOGLE's LIVE CHANNELS app lets me view,schedule and DVR.
I buy an ANDROID Tv with the hope to plug in my antenna and a formatted USB harddrive and use LIVE CHANNELS app to do the same. I read somewhere that some European models (Phillips) allow OTA, dvr and provide EPG. LIVE CHANNELS app on my HISENSE 43A6G (a native GOOGLE app) does nothing !! No EPG No DVR option !!
Can someone here point me to how to MOD the LIVE CHANNELS app to enable these options. Has anyone even considered this ? I seems obvious that an ANTENNA tv should at least provide EPG.
It's next to unbelievable that any ANDROID smart tv with LIVE CHANNELS app lacks OTA dvr and EPG capabilities !!
Android TV puts a focus on helping you discover the content you can enjoy on your TV, whether it's through one of your subscription services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Google Play Music, or from your own personal media collection via media center software like Plex.

Not an answer to my question.
Find a copy of the app from the euro TV and install it.
