[Q] HDMI video and 4.2 - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello..
I really want to update to the newest Android release, but I lose the main function of the tablet for me, and that is to have the screen go dark and the video/movie full screen on the TV via HDMI. i.e. so the screen on the tablet isn't mirrored on the tv.
My tf300 is unlocked and I just downgraded yet again to 4.1.1 so I can have this.
Anyone know a way round this? or an app that/custom rom that will give me this functionality on 4.2 please?
Cheers
Mark

I would love to hear an answer to this too

Lost my Video streaming with ICS upgrade.

I use my Tab 7.0 plus mainly for video streaming to my large screen TVs. I even canceled my sattelite TV it worked so well in Gingerbread or 3.2. I had CNN in one click, Animal Planet, PBS, etc. I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 through kies and the tablet took the upgrade with no errors. My unit is WiFi only 6210, US.
Now all my video streaming sites don't work. I get either a blank screen or a funny small blue box where the video should stream. I set up a chat with Samsung Support and they said that there is no Adobe Flash player for Android 4.0, so it's not their fault. I asked if I could downgrade back to 3.2 gingerbread and they said there was no way. As far as I'm concerned, this thing is a brick for me now.
Please! Does anyone know a way to use Adobe Flash on 4.0 or guide me on how to revert back to my old operating system (gingerbread 3.2) so I can continue to stream television sites? I'm not very computer literate and I'm very old.
Thanks for any help or advice.

You can still install Flash on it and it works fine... download this file to your tab and install it - http://www.sendspace.com/file/d43u2p
FYI, 3.2 is Honeycomb, not Gingerbread.

That did the trick. I already had Flash player 11.1 downloaded, but I didn't have it installed on Dolphin Browser after the upgrade. A little tinkering and I got it installed and working just fine. Thank you so much. I'm back in business.
God! I love this site. If I understood half of what you're all talking about, I'd love it even more.

[Q] No HDMI out from Google Play

I have a Canadian Xoom running the US 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. I recently rented a movie on Google Play and tried outputting the video my Sharp HDTV, LG TV and Asus Monitor via the HDMI and nothing works. I get a red X.
I know that this is an issue for Tranformer Prime TF101 users. However, I have previously rented movies and not had an issue prior to moving to 4.1.1.
Are other Xoom owners having the same issues?
Thanks for your help.
Please post all questions in the Q&A section. Thanks!
Thread moved.
Anyone?
Here in Brazil we don't have Google Movies yet but I think it's an update problem, send an email to Google or check their bug list (if there's some), but if happened to you after 4.1.1 update and happens with transformers users too, maybe it's an update problem here it's working fine watching videos on YouTube, and movies with BSPlayer (no subtitles though)

[Q] Twitch Live Stream doesn't work since I upgraded to 4.2.2

Hi everyone.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 with the latest 4.2.2 CM 10.1 made by TheWhisp. But I have this little problem that makes the live stream that worked perfect on 2.3.6 to stop working. I enter any streamer on Twitch app and all I get is a black screen with 0.5 sec of sound at the start. That's all.
Can you please help me guys? What's the problem? I need to have any codec or something like that?

Screen Mirroring to TV, Netflix video not working

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.

the sharing function on Nougut ?

guys I would like to confirm something about the Nvidia k1 Nougut version.
The Nvidia k1 allowed us to capture our android screen and make it possible to share on Twitch, but does the Nougut update also support sharing it directly to Facebook besides Twitch ?
As of now I am still in lollipop, and the sharing function doesn't work for me, because twitch wont log me in even though the password is correct. so maybe it doest not support lollipop anymore, which would be ridiculous.
no one on nougat can confirm this ?
