[Q] HDMI output stopped working

I uses to be able to watch TV show stream and my videos on my TV via the g2x HDMI out even with root and eb and cm7 then I went back to stock for a bit and the HDMI stopped working on the same TV using the same cable now all I get is a blank screen and no sound but it says playing on other screen so it obviously recognizes the cable... has anyone else come across this?

Is there a way to use the HDMI out as an AV in?

Hi fellas,
I fly FPV and I wanted to use my Infuse to record the AV footage by splitting the video cable which goes to my monitor to my hdmi chord/dongle for the infuse.
The AV equipment has low resolution 640x480 if I'm lucky.
Would this idea work? There is no audio as my transmitter does not have a mic but If I could use a screen capture software on my phone to record my flights that would be fantastic. Is this possible? To use the HDMI dongle as an AV in to stream live video on my phone (assuming there is an app) basically using my phone as a DVR.
Thanks for any helpful response.

no but it would be cool to use a transmitter as reciever.... I mean if a PC needs a dedicated video capture device rather than the monitor-out going both ways then why would a cell phone be likely to work like that? if USB hosting gets figured out in the kernel and a USB video capture device was used the sure but the mhl is a 1 way device as far as anyone knows.
you may as well get a laptop and usb video capture card then copy the file to the phone.

Guess the laptop is as good as any it's a shame though
The transmitter that I was talking about is the transmitter on the aircraft transmitting the image which is being viewed on a monitor
I destroyed my gopro in a crash so I was looking for alternate solutions without having to buy anything as I am dirt poor
thanks a lot for your input

[Q] HDMI heartbreaks

Okay, when I plug my tablet into my cheapo Insignia TV via HMDI I get tablet on TV, yay! Navigate to play a video I downloaded via Google Play, yay it's there. Press play, yes there's volume and a pic...wait where'd the picture go!? Both tablet and TV go black screen while the TV plays the volume. Sup wit dat? I tried HDMI 1 + 2 ports into the TV. Dunno what to do but I think my family would appreciate Despicable Me, and other flicks, more on 42" instead of 10" . Help!

I believe this is an issue with Goggle Play video and it does not do HDMI out.

Seems to work fine for me outputting to a Sony 40" TV with a free episode I got of Shaun the Sheep. Not sure if there might be a difference in DRM though.
Also, I'm running KatKiss 4.3 on mine. Are you on stock? I have seen some mention of this issue being fixed on certain ROMs. frederuco do you know if Timduru may have this fix in KatKiss?

[Q] MHL-HDMI TV(without MHL) No output

First to say, this is a bit long, but explains exactly what is my problem and what am I doing, I really need help, please. Thank you,
Today I bought hdmi (Male-Male) cable and MHL 5-pin adapter for my Xperia Z1 Compact. And I have a really weird problem. So I set up everything the way it's supposed to be, connect hdmi cable to TV and mhl adapter, charging cable to adapter and then connect adapter to phone, also I set correct hdmi channel on TV. And, I get notification about MHL connected, but there's no any picture or sound on TV. Also, phone randomly stops charging, however mhl notification still stays and screen stays landscape, until I switch to another program on TV or unplug cable. Another weird thing, if I play any format of video in any player(even stock one), video stops every 4 sec and I have to manually press play every time(it's not performance issue though, I can play unoptimized games for qualcomm like GTA SA with same amount of framerate as if I played normally) and sound from video can sometimes go out through phone speaker(and it's not supposed to, instead should come as hdmi output on TV). And here some of the facts:
-My charger and cable normally works
-Without charger connected to mhl adapter, I dont get any notification, so charging part is fine
-If I unplug hdmi cable from mhl adapter, I dont get random charging interrupts, phone charges constantly
-I have stock 4.4 Kitkat Android, no system applications deleted
-My tv is from 2005, Panasonic, without mhl but has 2 Hdmi slots- 720p, in case TV means anything
I have 3 guesses that came to my mind: software issue(like bug or something), unsupported resolution(maybe if phone doesn't recognize TV's 720p and instead sets to full HD(but then there wouldn't be charging issue and probably video pausing issue too) and lastly, broken adapter(To mention, it's right type, 5 pin, so it could only be literally broken inside-loose, but it seems quality and if it was loose there would still be some kind of output on TV, during normal charging period)
Can anyone give some solution...? I can't find any similar problem to mine, so I have no idea what could be the cause.

HDCP on Android

Hey all, I was just wondering if there was a way to bypass HDCP on Android?
I have some apps that block playback when connected to an external screen like on my TV. Is there any way to get round this? I am rooted.
I did a search and saw some stuff about HDMI splitters but I'm not sure what they do and how they really work, or if they'd work in my scenario. I use a displaylink adapter for HDMI output and it comes with an app
Thx
