Hello,
I was wondering if a Dev was creating or looking into making a app over the HDMI to display everyith on your phone, not just when it is in video mode.
My thought was to someday be able to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone and play doom, quake w/e from my phone to the TV.
Any thoughts?

These were my exact same thoughts, lets connect my phone to my tv and and bluetooth keyboard to the phone and have a big giant screen for txt messaging hahahahahaha Would also be really cool for watching SprintTV and the web.
Was really annoyed when I found out that the HDMI out had been crippled in the EVO. I hope this won't be the case for the EPIC.
Any ways, I too hope that someone can create a work around for this.

i dont believe that this could be done with an app but maybe god maybe manufacturers maybe CYANOGEN can help...
or the alternative if google (or anyone else) gives an API to develop apps...
if there were a browser, a better player(maybe rockplayer) and docs to go, things would have been better...
I am definately willing to donate to anyone that gets this working. It would make the phone so much more effective.
I used the Samsung Vibrant video out with a simple cable from radio shack and it mirrors the whole UI. Everything you do on the phone goes onto the TV. It isn't the most beautiful picture, and there is some frame lag, but it was still really nice. It would be even better over HDMI.
Jutst checking around some different forums to see if all the EVO Hdmi threads are dead or if any work is being done on it... anybody ?????
Any one fide something jet?
Nope still looking around and nothing yet. I know there's a dev raising money for a evo that already created an app for the nexus I believe......
This is definately dissapointing I would chip in for this as I travel a lot and would be great to use with my slingmobile and watching hockey games......
DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL THAT ZIP. IT'S A LIE AND PROBABLY IS A VIRUS AND/OR MALWARE.

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.

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.
we should contact ASUS

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....

Can you please provide the link where you saw that? I don't see it in this thread and didn't find it elsewhere when I searched. Definitely could have missed it, though.

Does it allow for HDMI out to a TV?
The prices on some of the movies are the best on the net, way better than Amazon for example.

I already have an MHL adapter...
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.

Try to rent a dollar movie that are on the Market and see. I'm curious to see if it works also
I just found this thread in Google Search trying to answer the same question. According to Google, you can, but I haven't tried it yet.

I know this thread is a month old, but I can confirm this does work. I have rented several movies from the android Market on my Sensation and piped them out to the T.V. over the MHL adapter and they worked just fine.

Thanks for this! I never tried this because reading through the Android Market reviews for the Videos app, some people say it works and some people say it doesn't.
so i have had a tf101 for a while now and i have finally got around to rooting and installing a custom as i do with all my devices and it's going great.
however i have always had a problem playing 1080 videos this has always been an issue but it's become more so after i recently got a NAS this i am storing all my movies on.
when playing 1080 videos local or remote the video is fine but the sound cuts in and out, is the same across all video apps on the market.
i thought it might have been the CPU speed but i have overclocked and it is still the same.
any ideas how to fix this?
currently running katkiss.

Umm... this device can only barely play those resolutions smoothly. They sound may suffer, and it might be the filetype/container you're playing as well. It may depend on the video app you're using. MXplayer is generally assumed to be the best and it has some decoder preferences you can tinker with (software/hardware, etc)

Hello, I tried getting amazon instant video up and running a few different ways and found it to be unreliable at best. I found an easy method that seems to work flawlessly. I've only watched 1 show so far but it worked like a charm, here is how you do it:
1. Install Kodi (i think x86 is the correct one): http://kodi.tv/download/
2. Install this addon repository: https://code.google.com/p/addonscri...=repository.addonscriptorde-beta.zip&can=2&q=
for more info check this thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=215255
3. Install the Amazon Instant Video player from his repo
4. Login and watch video
pretty easy, especially since most people probably have kodi installed already, and if you dont, you should.
Are you using this inside the US? I had problems playing most of the videos when the plugin was released. Wondering if they figured it out yet...

I am using it inside the US. The developer is German I think so it probably works in Europe too

I tried it again but all of the movies & TV shows I played fail to play. Reading through the thread again, it seems like I am not the only one having issues playing videos in the US...

not sure what is going on. it is working fine on my end. i've watched probably 6 or so episodes of the americans without issue. i read somewhere in that thread i posted above that you may need to adjust video stream resolution size if you have problems, you may want to check out that thread for support. i set mine to 1080p but it appears to be playing in 720p which is fine for me cause i mainly watch it in my bedroom which is not my main tv.
