Wife and I just rented a movie tonight from the market. Hooked up HDMI during the preview, worked great. But when the acual movie started, the screen goes blank and only sound comes out. I unplug the hdmi from the TF and it starts showing the video on the TF. WTF?!
Restarted, nothing. I tried the screen flip, dumb trick thingy, nothing. I am clueless why android would let something so easy and convenient go unnoticed in 3.2? Anyone have ideas? Is this something Google hasn't even fixed yet or something? Thanks for the help,

Anyone having this problem?!

I had this problem also - I am assuming it is blocked for viewing via HDMI.
That was my first thought but why on earth cant you watch an android paid movie via hdmi?! It makes no sense. I paid for it, why cant I watch it however I want? If this is true in my mind its a huge black eye for android.

Your not rooted right? I'm assuming it plays on your device normally.
That is a pisser. Movies and HDMI should be one of their primary goals of their movie service.

I can confim this issue. I just tried to watch a movie I had rented as well. It's quite annoying. It should be a key piece of functionality.
HDCP problem no doubt. Anyone go through settings in the video app or general settings to make sure there was no option to enable video out over HDMI? Do youtube or onboard videos play on the TV?

I dont know what HDCP is but I have used hdmi out from other apps, tv shows, and it works fine. The TF will show everything with hdmi in but go to play an android movie and it goes blank.
Hopefully this is an easy fix? And no I am not rooted.

HDCP is digital copyright protection.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection
So that means you need a HDCP compatible TV? Or just no go at all?
I always knew hdcp was a bad idea. Absolutely no good.

If this was a HDCP issue, then it's a case of poor programming. I have the same problem, and my HDTV is fully HDCP compliant, as my Blu-ray player and game consoles work fine over HDMI. There should be no reason why the videos won't play if the TV itself supports HDCP.
I think this is a Asus TF issue. I think this is a current firmware bug. HDMI output works fine on my Xoom but not on my TF...
I also have this issue and just received a firmware update a couple of days ago. Still isn't working...
I have a stock un-rooted Transformer with the same problem. HDMI out normally works great, but no Google Videos. Bummer especially that I just bought several from their $.99 special for the weekend.
Any fix or patch?
I just got my TF last week, rented a movie over the weekend and same issue. I have searched in a few places, and similar issues come up based on the TV brand, but from looking here, it seems even with compliant ones, it's an issue. I first thought it was a bug in my tablet, but apparently not. I have a 6 year old Panasonic plasma, if it matters. But again, everything else outputs fine, just not Market movies.

Are we sure it's an Asus thing? We need to see if other HC tablets do this, or do we know that already? I know someone with a Xoom, but no idea if he's tried this. Anyone else?

From what others have said (in others and this thread included), Yes I believe this is just an Asus issue. I've heard the Xoom displays fine.
No. This is NOT an Asus issue. This is a Movie industry issue. They just don't want you seeing the movie in a bigger screen for fear you will show it to a much larger audience. The movie Industry is greedy and F* UP and the paid normal users are suffering for their greed and paranoia....

Hi guys, i just got my transformer and I love it but I have a little problem, HD videos in youtube app stutters!! t is not a connection problem, on my computer they play perfect, and anyway I let it load it the whole video to avoid connection problems.
The video still stutters, sometimes it plays full framerate, but the second after it is jerky!!
Anyone have the same problem?
Should I return it?
MP4 720p in video player just play fine...
PS: I also noticed i have some LCD backlight bleed problem... awwww man...
If hd flash is important it might not be the best solution.
Could wait and hope for a fix, but the tablet market is moving fast, always a risk companies will move on to the next gen product.
So far Tegra 2 + honeycomb seems not ideal, after all the hype?

Flash is not involved here, I am speaking of the official youtube app which should have no stuttering.

Not got that problem. Does it still stutter for you via the browser as well?
Mine used to pause a few times when watching videos in the Youtube app but this appears to have been fixed with the latest firmware update.

No yputube app does not use flash, in fact i uninstalled FlashPlayer from tablet to be sure of that.
I have the same issue. Coming from a Xoom I noticed it almost immediately. If there is stock soon, I will go to the store and have it replaced. Otherwise I might just return it. There are things I can deal with, stuttering video is not one of them.
Better to wait for Tegra 3 devices in August ?
http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/...e-tegra-3-chip-in-tablets-by-august-20110216/
Or 4 more months after that, until 2012 and get something better! or keep waiting until 2014 and get the best one in their roadmap!

Actually once it can do 1080p high profile, I could care less what is coming out since it would be the complete package. A Tegra 3 device seems like it could be the one. Definitely selling my Transformer and getting a Tegra 3 tablet when it comes out.
I think the problem is related to the youtube app, i had a trip to a local store with an Iconia A500 and played with it a bit. It had the same problem, i doubt a replacement would do the trick. i suppose an OTA update with a revised version of the youtube app or some tweak should be enough.

If thats the case then I don't mind at all, but it's something that I'd like to know *officially*. It's not something that has to be fixed immediately, but I'd like to know that the issue lies with the app and not my hardware.
Edit: But, at the same time, I didn't think many other people were having the same issue.. ?
stuttering playback was an initially known issue with honeycomb. Like someone else mentioned though, the firmware seemed to resolve that issue. Might want to make sure you have the latest and greatest version.

ya mines the US version of the 20110423.. first thing I checked.
It just crummy because my buddy loved my Xoom, especially the Youtube app (hes got a relatively large presence on youtube) and when he went to watch one of his videos (G20 Battle of Toronto) it was stuttering. It's like it will be smooth for a few seconds then get choppy . The audio never skips a beat though.
Just noticed a flash update on the market. Don't know if it'll help you or not. Looks like its now out of beta or something. I didnt really read it all before i installed it. Version 10.2.156.12.
Edit: Bah the irony. Now I'm getting the stuttery video. I wasnt before.

i just did the update and its still stuttering on videos
I know i read somewhere that asus was working with google on it. Maybe they still havent completely ironed it out yet. Remember, its still early for honeycomb...
how do you set the youtube app to 720p? i only see an option for HD
So obviously there is some sort of DRM issue preventing me from watching rented videos from Android Market via HDMI out to a TV. All politics aside on why I think that is wrong, is there a way around it? Maybe a different player that will play them and still allow me to HDMI out to a TV?
Thanks in advance, and if this is breaking some sort of rule please close this thread as I don't mean to cause trouble.
So has anyone been able to figure out how to do this?

Ya they dont do anything special i have never seen any change so i just run the stock app as now that it works fine on almost everything no reason to hack someones app as it can only piss off the people who did all the work to make it in the first place but thats just my thoughts
Can anyone who lives in Canada tell me if they can get streaming on their Transformer?
I get this little popup:
This device cannot instantly stream from Netflix in your area. Visit ca.netflix.com/NRD to see a full list of devices that instantly stream from Netflix.
Weird thing is I see people using Netflix all over Calgary.
Edit: Nevermind
To get netflix working do this:
1) Make sure you are updated to 8.6.5.9
2) Make sure you download the latest netflix package here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07...st-phones-too/
3) Install netflix from the apk BUT DO NOT LOGIN YET (If you have already please clear the applications data.)
5) Sign up here: http://www.vpnreactor.com
6) Go on your tansformer and setup the VPN in wireless and network settings. (Pretty straightforward username password and url.)
7) Connect to the VPN
8) Login to Netflix
9) Pick any video and let it play for 15 seconds
10) Disconnect VPN
11) Reboot yout Transformer
12) Use Netflix without VPN

Didnt get to test it too much, but the one difference for me was the red Netflix startup logo.
Before, it was stretched and looked a little "chunky" (almost as if in safe mode)
Now, the "Netflix" Letters are smaller and sharper.
Ill have to try other videos, but was streaming Prison Break episode and fast forwarded/rewinded, and the buffering time was quick.
Before, it seemed to take longer.
btw. installed the first link
Netflix 1.4.0 working on my non-rooted Transformer
I was able to download, install and use Netflix (1.4.0 build) today on my Eee Pad Transformer.
My Transformer is "NOT-rooted".
My Transformer is updated to Honeycomb 3.2 version.
The only issue I have noticed is that "Search" is not working, the Search issue has already been mentioned by several others on this site.

What you're failing to realize is that some apps blank the TV screen when HDMI out is enabled/TV connected. One of these apps is the Hulu Plus app for example.
Thanks though for the condescending attitude on something you clearly have no idea about.
I'm specifically asking if the Android Movies movie rental app will play through HDMI out or if it will blank the screen. Has anyone tried this?
I bought this a few days ago dealextreme.com/p/micro-usb-to-hdmi-mhl-adapter-101358 (add at the beginning "www"). Probably next week it will arrive. I think there's nothing with best price.

Yeah its the same for me also. I have yet to find a way to fix it though...
No problem like that on ICS. Hm, there are some pretty annoying bugs in this JB version, I'm starting to be happy without the upgrade . I hope Asus sends a patch version quickly.
Trimis de pe ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
I get the same, but at least the update fixed something for me. My TV doesn't have a controllable overscan feature and I was getting my screen cropped, now it shows perfectly no crops at all so yeah I take this over the notifications getting cropped any day.
Bah sang victory too early, now it seems its not transferring sound, it used to work before update, I'll have to look into this....
---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------
Anyone else having problems with HDMI not transferring audio? It used to work on ICS. I tried playing with the cable a bit, but nothing changed. Also tried unplugging and plugging several times, plugging with tablet on mute (read on prime forums) then turning volume up. Nothing works so far. My best guess is that there is something wrong with HDMI coding and my TVs brand. Gonna try on another TV later and report back
You could try with a different player first (like MX Player or BSPlayer), seems like a software issue (I assume that with ICS it worked for you, and that TV).

Yeah it worked on ICS, I tried using Stock google music player no sound, youtube no sound and tried playing a game no sound. There are some ppl having the same problem over this forum:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/asus-tf300-forum/44971-problems-jellybean-update.html
I'm trying it on a VIORE TV, going to try it on a SONY TV after my family stops using it.
Was thinking of doing a factory reset, but the ppl in that link I posted tried to no avail.
Thanks for the info, now I will surely stay on ICS until Asus pushes some fixes.
Trimis de pe ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Okay tried on the Sony TV and it worked with sound, although it's cropping the image as before (overscanning). So it seems there's an incompatibility with my VIORE TV. Weird wild stuff ppl.
EDIT:
Sent an e-mail to a couple of ASUS representative, hopefully they will answer shortly.
I never had this issue with ICS.. i have tryed changing the output type (crop ect) still cut the bottom of my notification bar, but not my recent apps popup..
also tryed on other TVs with no look.. maybe its an asus bug fix job??
This is the response I got from asus, it seems they are aware of the bugs and are working on them. Hopefully we will get an update soon.
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
My name is Carl and it's my pleasure to help you with your problem.
There is some bugs in the lastest version. I will report it to related department. Please be patient to wait the new version released. Thanks for any inconvenience.
