Is it me or does youtube quality sux with the tab? I even made the default play at hq ans it still sux. Is there another setting that I'm missing?
Have you downloaded the latest youtube app?
Over wifi and 3g, or both?
I use Youtube Mate and the quality is fairly good over wifi, if over 3G it sucks yeah, unless if I download the video in hight quality format.

i only use wifi (don't have a 3g plan). i've seen similar threads on this but some people say their youtube hd is great.
im have'n this same issue... over wifi aswell... youtube on my evo looks way better
I am having issues on youtube as well.. But not the app.
When I play youtube using either the browser or dolphin hd,
They both play fine but if I press the full screen on the flash video that is
Playing, it would play in full screen but very stuttery. When I do the same on my evo
4g, it plays the full screen video from the browser just fine. No stuttery.
Both connected to wifi btw.
Any ideas?
it looks better on the evo because the screen on the tab is much higher resolution

but is the stuttering videos on my tab caused by resolution difference as well?
I think the stuttering is more an issue of adobe's flash being resource hungry than anything. I see similar behavior when playing flash video on most netbooks/nettops, some older desktops and even some modern low spec laptops. Adobe flash is just horribly inefficient with resources.
Hopefully with gingerbread there will be more options.
Are you able to try playing it in the browser instead of via the youtube app?
i seems to get better video quality when i go to mobile web site. instead of using the app

Yes i had smooth 720p playback from the youtube mobile site until now as well. But suddenly it opens up the video player instead and now the quality is horrid. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Edit: it is still working in the stock browser and xscope, just not in miren.
seriously!
Are you guys totally blind?!...Or hired by samsung/google to cover up this flaw?
Yes, I'm talking to the people that actually can't see the problem.
We are missing out bigtime on video quality as long as this doesn't get sorted. And no living soul wants to be forced over to the stock browser for anything.
Follow 3-step procedure to get enlightened:
1. Go to youtube.com with the stock browser(yes, the stock browser sucks, but it illustrates the problem). You will be directed to a mobile youtube site, search for "720p" or something and find a nice hd video, now play it and watch it for a little while. You will see that it looks great! And it shows that the tab has some nice potential.
2. Open your youtube app(old or new version, problem affects both). Find the exact same video and start playing. Even make sure that you have the high quality setting on.
3. Compare!
Now you should come to this conclusion: stock browser actually wins and youtube app loses
If you can't see the difference you really really need to get glasses. Watching youtube using the stock browser is crispy clear, and the youtube app makes the screen look frosted in comparison.
My theory:
The youtube app is not made for such a high resolution screen just yet. While the stock browser is.It totally sucks and should be fixed asap!
It really truly looks 100% identical to me. Watched Star Trek 720p trailer from stock browser and youtube app. Look the same. Tmobile.

Are you 100% sure? Because it's a major difference on my tab. And I've tried countless videos. I can spot the difference from 2 meters away even
And yes, I'm on a wifi connection (don't really know if 3G is worse)

Before reading your thread I did the same experiment
Extremely disappointing... One more reason for me to be disappointed by the Tab...
Hopefully gingerbread will solve this
No offence intended to anyone, but if you cant notice the difference its because you dont have attention to detail, or an eye for quality, i cant stand watching stuff in the youtube app, it looks perfect in portrait mode with high quality, problem is its strecthing that resolution across landscape, if someone can some how edit the resolution of the video its downloading that could fix the problem, easier said that done i suppose
I just use jet video, download it and watch it in 720 :/
Please forgive me if this has been answered before, but this sites search function blows.
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.
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 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.

I'll be getting mine shortly and I'll be testing it on mine. Is yours rooted yet? The app used to have 3 issues-root detection, HDMI detection and USB debugging=on
No, it is not rooted.
They stopped with the root detection a while ago. I've been using the app on rooted devices for some time now. Hell it doesn't even complain about USB debugging being enabled anymore. As for the issue, I too am having it.
Then it's a video codec issue. That has happened on some devices. Last I checked, a 2012 Nexus 7 had the same issue despite it having the obvious power to handle this app. I noticed the TWC app didn't complain about being on my LG G Pad which is stock but rooted (hated that stupid root check anyways).
The app used to have an old issue where it would engage the video in SD (normal behavior) but then display a black screen as it tried to transition to HD. If yours is straight black, it might be something different. Try contacting TW support and see what they say (fat chance but worth a shot)
I just tested the app on my Moto X running lollipop to see if it was a 5.0 issue it complained about USB debugging but not root and worked fine. The app probably needs to be updated for the k1 soc
It also works fine on my Nexus 7 (2012) running 5.0...must be something about the Shield Tablet

It is also sometimes a ROM issue. I need to try my Nexus '12 again since I have a new ROM on it now. At the time I last tried it, the app would do the channel for a moment and then black out issue.
It worked fine before lollipop, after the update it force closes. Supposedly they've fixed the lollipop crash, but it didn'thhelp me. On the other hand I can use Hulu now!

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.

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.
