Just bought an HDMI connector for my Samsung note 10.1 to plug into my 1080P LG TV.
All connected up but I get two vertical black lines either side of the output on the TV. Like its not outputting from the device at the correct resolution. I've tried all the scaling options available on the TV but none of them get rid of the bars completly.
Called samsung help line but they couldnt help, they are phonig back later and will probably blame the TV although it works fine with XBox, skybox, laptops etc.
Anyone have an idea what would be the problem?
It's just a little bar of each side, right?
I get the same in my LG and Sony TVs... I think it's normal because of TV resolution.
But when I play videos (with stock video player), it goes fullscreen, so there's no big problem for my use.
I can't confirm right now, but with some games (I think) the fullscreen works well too.
EDIT: both TVs are FullHD too...
EDIT2: I just tested and my previously information was wrong... none of my games works in fullscreen. Sorry :/
Full HD is 1920 x 1080
I've tried on my two TVs
My LG 50 inch , 1920 x 1980, two big bars either side.
My Samsung 32 720P two bars on this too.
It's not outputting.
check if the tv has overscan to get round it.
Which games go full screen i have tried with need for speed , nova, bad piggy hd. None go full screen. Only playing movie through stock video player does. Not reallly happy with this and samsung support is next to hopeless they dont even bother to read my email before replying
It says itsupports 1080p doesnt say only in movie player..

Hi,
I am using a patched Skype v2.0.0.47 on the Overcome Jupiter rom (which is so great btw.).
Everything seem to work fine but the video doesn't take the full screen but only about 75%.
Is it a normal behavior? Is the a way to stretch it to a full screen?
Thanks
I was wondering the same thing after installing the patched version today morning..
Did you find a fix for it?
For now I will just continue to use Google talk
Sebkinne
Nope,no luck so far...
Try spare parts. Its working fine here
I tried, doesn't help. The skype's interface looks fine. It just the video part ...
I think that this is because of resolution of video. There is to much pixels on Galyxy TAB. And there is no suport for HD video chat on Andoid devices.
May I ask where you got the .47 version of Skype w/video? The one I installed on my Sprint SGT doesn't seem to work properly. It says I'm connected, but all of my online contacts see me as offline.

It's 1024x600 - hardly HD.
And yes, there is support, Tango works fine in fullscreen, haven't tried Skype on the tab, but it works just fine on my SGS2 fullscreen (800x480).
i tried to find the answer to this one but i couldn't so here is my question
today i rooted by brand new galaxy note 10.1 for the purpose of using the app called screencast to record games i bought screencast and tried to record with it in gta 3 it wen't by with absolutely no lag in the game
when i go to check the video all i see is going from the screencast app to the menu which is frozen then it goes black
it did not recording anything at all just one picture of the menu rest black with sound
i have tried different recording resolutions normal and high
different fps 10 30 and 40
still completely black
i tried to record just going through the menu (swiping back and forth in those transparent windows) which recording
and it litterally is just frozen i tried the benchmark and it shows 34 fps at highest possible recording settings
this video shows amazing recording with this program but i can't use it at all it just records the menu screen frozen then changes to a black screen with the bar in the bottom as i start a application
/watch?v=APcx6DVsOAw
i am running jellybean 4.1.1
edit it now records the menus properly after i used the screencast gadget but it still goes to black when starting gta 3
JB could be the problem, it might not be JB compatible yet. Best bet would be to contact the developer and leave feedback...

can i easily revert back to the former operating system? and then re root? i backed it all up through the clockwork recovery menu
are my apps synced to my account or will i lose them if i wipe the tablet?
Go into screencast in the android market and look in the app description you will see a link for app support. They should be able to tell you if the problem is jelly bean or a bug in the app. Best to look there before you go reverting back to ics.

sadly time is not something i have i bought this for one purpose to record vice city gameplay on android try to be first
i am a youtube partner so i wanted to try something new
the game releases in 6 days
and i think i failed
i asked someone on youtube he said this
on my sgn 10.1 This program works with the same errors can it is because of the screen size. because this program works fine on jb samsung galaxy note 2
so yeah perhaps this program won't work at all with a tablet which means well :crying:
i could have bought the note 2 for the same money i would get a nice light phone to record i even need a phone always wanted a smartphone but no instead i had to pick a tablet something i have absolutely no use for other then what i had planned i don't know what to do right now the tablet is good but the screen is too low res for me it is too heavy and too bulky i have absolutely no use for it the blacklevel on the screen is simply bad makes for watching movies not a great experience so yeah if i can't record a video as planned then i will have no use for it i like how strong it is i tried recording with screencast and there was no lag in the game at all absolutely lag free wheather it was actually recording or not is unknown too me but if it was then it's a very strong tablet
and i don't think i can properly sell it either it has been rooted and tons of information is on it and i don't think you can delete that information to 100% before selling it atleast i have not peeled off the back protection layer this is really awful
edit tried it with a new recorder called asc https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benzul.asc

I am having the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-N8000.
There is a workaround which might help you with what you are planning to do.
You can try using Bluestacks in full screen mode on your computer and you can run GTA 3 android game there. To record the gameplay, you can use Camtasia which works perfectly fine on laptop and desktop computers and is far efficient than Screencast. This is just a workaround to make the things happen. . Hope this would help you.
I don't know if you post a reply here I would get a notification in my mailbot, but I would really love to assist you in sorting out this issue with you if you are interested. You can email me anytime you want. (Hope I am not violating any rules by asking someone to contact me directly. I am new here.)
Here's my issue with Screencast.
I tried using Screencast to record a gameplay which it didn't.
At first I thought there might be some issue with the game itself.
Then I bought Remote Desktop Client app from Google Play, started Screencast to capture the screen, 'remote-desktoped' my Windows 7 computer from my N8000 through Wi-Fi on the Local Area Network.
Screencast only captured the movements till the Windows 7 console appeared. After that the recording continued but movements were not captured. Screencast started capturing the movements once again after I closed the console of Windows 7.
When I played the recorded file, the screen freezed right after the console of Windows 7 appeared and the movie continued to play. The activity was seen in the movie after the Windows 7 console was closed.
Looking for some solutions but no luck yet.
And the funny thing is that when I rotated the Tab, and the screen layout changed from landscape to portrait or portrait to landscape, that rotation was recorded without any issues and was seen in the move. A big LOL.
Hi all, so I bought a TV Box
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111155242479?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
And I am just completely disappointed. XBMC addons are unusable, everything lags. Playing 720p video in MX Player makes it slightly lag. My Nexus S from 2010 can play 720p just fine. I made sure I checked all the settings, lowered the output resolution to 720p at 50fps and it still lags. Even typing text lags. At this point, my TV Box is completely useless. Did I just buy a horrible box or am I missing something?
A question for all owners of various boxes - what software do you use? How did you set it up? Does it work?
Thanks!
Try a different power source, dont power the device through the TV USB. it seems RK devices underperform when they are underpowered.
The worst it can be is a fake device, still the freaktab community can help you identify the board and give you any rom that performs better.
I have a Samsung Smart TV series 6203.
My HTC One M8 is S-off, with ViperONE rom.
Screen mirroring from my HTC One M8 works fine, meaning audio and video are working, everything that appears on my phone is mirrored exactly on the TV screen, EXCEPT for Netflix videos. When I open the netflix app, everything still works, I can see the Netflix menu on the TV, but once I play a video, the video player shows no video (audio is OK), I can see the frame of the video player, I can see the time bar on the bottom, but just no video.
I searched and can't find anyone with similar problem, most people have problem making the mirroring work, but mine is fine just no Netflix video. Could it be because of copyright issues, that Netflix disabled it because of copyright?? but this user DUGLESSM did it successfully in his youtube video "2013 SAMSUNG SMART TV SCREEN MIRRORING A S4 WITH NO DONGLE SCREEN MIRROR" (sorry i'm not allowed to post outside link yet) at about 6:55 into video.
any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Did you find a solution for this? I have the same problem with tmobile note 5 rooted with cfautoroot 6.0.1 it happens with hulu, netflix, Amazon video, hbonow.com. YouTube will work, but not the other video streaming services. Every other feature works fine with screenmirroring. The video just goes black on the TV but still plays on phone fine.
Google?

I have the same problem described HEREand have searxhed and searched and am searching right now and is how I came across your thread.. lets get this fixed. Btw i can get slingtv to work also i am beginning to thinkit is the app services themaelves. Lets jeep this thread going.
Found an answer HERE I had come across the fix of disabling hdcp in build.prop but didn't know own what it really meant. Basically hdcp is DRM or copyright protection and when you alter your stock software the apps that use hdcp will not function properly. There is no current or expected fix.

Netflix connection error from a phone/tablet to TV
Has anyone found a fix yet for mirroring Netflix to a TV using a phone or tablet please?
As with everyone else I see my phone mirroring function works fine too but as soon as I hit play the TVs mirror function is cancelled. Someone suggested a rooting problem fix but my Samsung Galaxy S7 is not rooted so is there another fix please?
Netflix Mirror Black Screen.
The Black Screen issue is not due HDCP,content protection or everything else you may heard before.is more of a Bug.Here's the fix.

My Nexus player has been struck with the dreaded Soap Opera Effect. Essentially it's a motion blur type effect that affects streaming video. Netflix, Plex, etc.
This has been happening since updating to v5.1. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?
This video will give you an idea. To see the effect, I had to run at 720p 60fps or higher.

Isn't 60fps going to do that every time? Go back to 24fps and enjoy...
Maybe I'm confused...
Yeah sorry, I didn't explain clearly.
On the Nexus player we're not watching 60fps content. Just regular 24 or 30 or whatever.
I posted the youtube video so that you might see an example of what we're seeing on our TV. When watching that example video, I was only able to see the motion blur when I was watching it at 60 fps.
If you're getting any sort of frame-interpolation on video playback it is more likely that it is being done by your TV (if you have a 120Hz+ television) then the Nexus Player itself, because as far as I know the player does not have the software or hardware capabilities to do so and even if it did it wouldn't showup as a bug it would have to be enabled with some sort of third-party hack or application.
tl;dr: if you're seeing frame-interpolation in your videos, check your TVs settings and ensure "Smooth Motion" or "True Motion" or anything with that sort of name is disabled.
We're looking into that. It's an old POS TV that does 1080p, and not much else. We looked through the menu's and online, but found nothing about motion or any sort of video processing.
I'm going to test the Nexus Player with another TV and see what happens.
can confirm
It's not the TV can confirm after the update the nexus player is experiencing soap opera effect. are there settings to disable the effects?
The same thing is happening to me since the Android 5.1 update on my Nexus Player, but only under certain circumstances. The tv it is attached to is 1080p 60hz.
If i cast from plex to the Nexus Player, I get the soap opera effect, however if I use the plex app on the Nexus Player itself, I do not get the effect. Its infuriating. Does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?

I have the exact same issue. And my TV is an old Sharp 60hz which has none of that Motion/Flow technology. It only happens when I cast. No issue if I use the app. I am not sure I like this effect.
Ok....well this brings up my question....
I installed showbox via air share. ...I was seeing how well it works (testing it) it I notice on the whole horizontal bottom...2inch thick it's black/white. .........all of the movie is colored but the 2inch thick whole bottom is b/w. ....I also notice after 25 to 30 min into the movie it buffed and went to the beginning of movie (played on movie) haven't tried a different movie yet
It seems the soap opera effect only happens with apps that use the native android media player (i.e. Showbox, Starz Play, Encore Play) and it is in fact, VERY ANNOYING. I know Chainfire has a tweak that allows you to change the Hz for playback, but I haven't tried it yet.
i actually would like soap opera effect on my android tv box (mk808b plus)..any idea how the nexus player does it?

I'm also keen on trying to port it to my device, I did some digging and found the SDK responsible for it, sadly it's intel, so unless it can be ported to some other system it's essentially useless to us.
It seems to rely on some sort of ISV lib, probably standing for Intel Smart Video, so I presume it'll be a lot of work bringing it to other devices.

Pleaaase i would love video interpolation on my Nexus 6p!!!!
That is the only reason i prefer watching stuff on my pc(with SVP interpolation) even though my nexus AMOLED is awesome(on srgb of course)
